Rivers and Harbors Committees Com.
ing Visit.
During the present month. as you
all knew. the city Of Cairo is to have
the honor of receiving within her
doors the most important committee
from our national congress. at least,
so far as Cairo's interests are con.
cerned. that is in existence. which is
the rivers and harbors committee, The
late congress made large appropria
lions for the improvement of the Ohio
river. and have endorsed the plan
which has been before the people for
more than ten years. OF securing the
nine foot stage in this river from Pitts
burg to Cairo, so that a visit from thi.
distinguished body of gentlemen al
this time is of more than ordinary sig
nificanee.
City Should Entertain Them.
Il earnestly solicit your most &C
tive cooperation in extending TO these
gentlemen such attention and courte-
sizes as the occasion demands. | have
been of the opinion that whatever en-
tertainment is given to this body
ought to be provided by private sub
scription. but inasmuch as the party
will be here but short time, and will
not have the opportunity to patronize
tent. and in view Of the fact that the
Ohio Valley Improvement association
will hold it's annual meeting here
probably In October next, bringing in
to our midst for period of three days
500 or Goo of the strongest men in the
Ohio valley from Pittsburg to Cairo
am about convinced that 1t woult
be proper for the city of Cairo as al
official body to assist in the entertain
ment of this distinguished company o
| visitors who will be here In an officia
| capacity. This matter, however,
leave in your hands for your consider
| alton and disposition.

week. The effect OF these movements has
shown a progressive decline throughout
the week. The depression which becam.
dominant in the market, today, had it's
most immediate cause in the course Of the
money market. Not only was there rep
ctition of the furry of Wednesday In the
call money market, but the interest rates
on time loans was marked up sharply,
and for GO day loans Il commission was
eXacted in addition to the per cent. rate
which amounted to n premium above that
rate. The statement of the regular eX-
press movement of currency furnished by
the banks, which covers only five days,
this week. indicates Il balance in favor OF
this center. But the heavy transfer to
interior points through the sub-trcasiiry
and the losses to that institution on rou-
tine operations are large enough to more
