The Money Market.

ne Money MdTkct.
 Henry Clews in his Wall street letter of Saturdays date says:
 "The important feature of the week was the satisfactory working out of money market problems. A most signifi- cant event was the placing of 5o,OOo,OOO Pennsylvania loan in Paris. This was the first time in many years that French capital has ventured with any freedom into American securities. About thirty five years ago Paris had an unpleasant Fl Paso bonds, which for many years discouraged French buying of American securities. In addition to this obstacle French laws are somewhat adverse to outside investments, often imposing pro- hibitive tax and other regulations These obstacles, however, have been overcome by means of a syndicate, who take the bonds; hold them as collateral and then issue their own obligations, making the investment doubly safe to French inves- tors This is departure of much signfi- canoe and if all reports are true the Paris market may make further ventures in the Amercian field to mutual advantage. Apparently there is more surplus capital seeking investment in Paris than in any of the other foreign markets.
 France Is not only a very wealthy nation, but her wealth is remarkably well distributed. and now that the prospects of extreme Russian borrowings are dimin- iohf xr1a in for such contingencies are seeking other avenues of employment. It Is fortunate for New York that such Is the case. Our credit abroad Is strong but our needs are unusual. Our short time foreign obliga- tlons already amount to somewhere in the neighborhod of $4O0 000, ,O00 and a consider able portion of these will soon become due. In all probability they will be ex- tended without difficulty yet it is for tunate that comparative ease rules in the foreign money markets and that our own financial condition Is inherently strong, thus relieving us of apprehensions con- corning the future.
 Another unexpected problem Is also being solved and that is the financing of insurance losses resulting from the San Francisco fire. The total insurance pay ments on this account are estimated at nearly $1SO.000, ,0O0 of which about $1OO, ,0OO = GOO will fall upon American companies. The strain upon American insurance com panies has, of course, been very severe, especially upon the smaller concerns; and were 1t not for the remarkable prosperity to make good the losses, the results would have been disastrous to some of the lesser American insurance companies. The foreign companies doing business in this country are, as rule, strong concerns and quite able to stand the losses'

Senators by Popular Vote.

Because the democrats of Arkansas, acting in primary. preferred Gov ernor Jeff Davis to Senator Berry because, too, the democrats of Ten nessee, in a primary, voted Senator Carmack cut and ex-Governor Bob Taylor in, the beneficiaries of the con vention system are rising up to de nounce the popular plan of selecting United State senators as an invitation to demagogy and all other ills and evils in the calendar.
 Ten states have adopted the pri. mary methcd-Virginia, South Caro- lima, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis- sissippi, Louisiana. Arkansas, Tennes' zee and ulinois-and Pennsylvania,

COSTS A THOUSAN Q.

New York.-Samuel Lunderman, one of the most expert of the Park Row pulers- in for the retail dry goods business, learned some things about the federal law yesterday. Recently he pulled in' Pri- vate R. H. Cusick of Company G, Fifth United States infantry, and induced him to dispose of his uniform, receiving in ex- change a secondhand suit of civilian clothes.
 The clothes deal between the United States and Park Row was reported to a United States marshal and yesterday the "puler-in'' was arrested. Judge Thomas broke the news to MT. Lunderman that a law was in existence imposing fine of $1OO on any one introducing the army uniform into the secondhand business.
 His employer paid the fine.

One might, thlnk that the scales used were the property of a dishonest grocer were 1t not for the proportion between Colonel Swift. say, and General Creator.
