the cow-catcher of the locomotive. A lady who was
walking with him got across uninjured. The Una Is
straight for a long distance, and It is a good place for
a person on foot to see, but he probably miscalculated

Do you feel weak, debilitated, easily tired?
Does a little extra exertion produoe palpita
tion of the heart? Does your liver, or your kid
neys, frequently get out of order? Do you have
spells of short breathing, or dyspepsia? Are your
bowels constipated? Do you have spells of fainting,
or rushes of blood to the head? Is your memory Im
paired? Is your mlud constantly dwelling upon this
subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of
company, of life? Do you wish to be left alone, to
get away from everybody? Does any little thing
make you start or jump? Is your sleep broken or
restless? Is the lustre of your eye ai brilliant? The
bloom on your check as bright? Do you enjoy your
self in society as well? Do you pursue your business
with the same energy? Do you feel as much con
fidence In yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag
ging, given to fits of melancholy? If bo, do not lay
It to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless
nights? Your back weak, your knees weak, and
havebut little appetite, and you attribute this to
dyspepsia or liver complaint?
Did you ever think that those bold, defi
ant, energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those who are In per
fect health? You never hear such men com
plain of being melancholy, of nervousness, of pal
pitation of the heart They are never afraid they
cannot succeed in business ; they dont become sad
and discouraged ; they are always polite and plea
Bant In the company of ladles, and look you and
them right In the face none of your downcast looks
or any other meanness about them.
How many men, from badly cured diseases, have
fcrought about that state of weakness that has re
iuccd the general system so much as to Induce al
most every other disease Idiocy, lunacy, paralysis,
eplnal affectloiiH, suicide, and almost every other form
of disease which humanity Is heir to, and the real
cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and

His Reception in Liverpool Addresses
to the New Minister His Re
sponseOur Relations with
England.
The Itereptlon.
On Monday, the Blst ulU, at the'Adclphl Hotel,
Liverpool, Mr. Motley, the newly-appointed Ameri
can Minister to England, received deputations from
the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce and thd Ameri
can Chamber of Commerce In Liverpool. Mr. Motley
was accompanied by Mr. Dudley, the American Con
sul at Liverpool, and General Itadeau.
Mr. W. Langton, President of the American Cham
ber, was first presented by Mr. Dudley. Ho said
that he was deputed, on lehalf of the Chamber, to
congratulate Mr. Motley on his safe arrival, ami to
thank him for the honor he had done them in con
senting to receive them at, he feared, some incon
venience to himself. It had been the custom of the
Americnn Chamber to seek a similar opportunity
of welcoming the representatives of the Cnited stale's
on their arrival In this country, and It afforded them
additional pleasure to welcome one who was no
stranger to them by reputation. (Hear, hear.)
AddrtnH or the Americnn Chamber of Com.
uicrce.
Mr. Hill, Secretary to the Chamber, then read the
following addrtss:
To Ms Excellency the Hon. John Lothrop Motlev,
D. C. I, Minister of the United States to the Court
of St. James:
We, the President and members of the American
Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool (consisting of
Englishmen and Americans), engaged in commerce
with the United States, desire to express our con
gratulations to your Excellency on your arrival In
this country, and to offer you our welcome. We
should greet with respect and pleasure the repre
sentative of the American republic in his official
capacity alone, but on the present occasion we are
happy In welcoming, not merely the Minister of the
l ulled States, but one who is Intimately acquainted
with England, and whose literary works are as widely
known as they are highly estemed among us.
We take this opportunity of expressing a cordial
desire for the contemplated continuance of friendly
relations between the two great English speaking
nations of the world, and if at any time it should be
in the power of our Chamber to co-operate with your
Excellency In any matter that may be calculated to
facilitate and extend the commercial intercourse
which has so long existed between England and
America, or In any way to promote the common in
terests of the two countries, we should esteem lt;a
privilege and pleasure to undertake the dutv.
Signed by order and on behalf of the American
Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, this 81st dav of
May, 1609. W. Lanutok, President.
Minister Motley') Itemionne.
Mr. Motley said: Mr. President and geutlemen of
the American Chamber of Commerce in Liverpool,
I thank you very sincerely for your kludly words of
welcome on my arrival In England as the representa
tive of the United States. ou may be assured that
it is the earnest hope and wish of the Chief Magis
trate of the Union, of his administration, and, as I
believe, of the American people, to cultivate
faithful, friendly, and equitable relations with her
Majesty's Government and with the Krttish people.
(Hear, hear.) The happiness of the world, the
advancement of civilization, and the best hopes of
humanity, are dependent upon concord among all
the branches of the human family, but more espe
cially between two snch leading nations of the earth
as the British empire and the Amerlcau republic, so
nearly allied by blood, so closely connected by so
many public and personal interests, so addicted to
commerce and to the cultivation of the arts of peace.
(Hear, hear.) That my strenuous efforts will be made
towards the furtherance, so far as In me lies, of the
most thorough and mutual good understanding be
tween the two nations the only basis of an enduring
friendship and all kindly relations in accordance
with those great principles of reason, honor, and Jus
tice which are Immutable, and the only safe and un
erring guides for nations and individuals I beg you
earnestly to believe. In conclusion, I have the honor
to thank you once more in the name of the United
States Government for the courteous and cordial
address in which you have expressed yowr friendly
feelings, and for my own part I ask you to believe
that 1 am truly sensible to the very gratifying lan
guage In which you have been pleased to allude to
myself. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. H. Clarke, President of the Liverpool Chamber
of Commerce, was then presented. He said that
when they learned that Mr. Motley would land at
Liverpool, and that it would not be unwelcome to
him to receive an address from the Liverpool Cham
ber of Commerce, it became their pleasing duty to
express the friendship which they felt towards the
Government which he represented, and the respect
and esteem which they entertained personally for
himself. (Hear, hear.) It was at all times to them a
privilege to welcome the citizens who, from time to
time, represented in this country the Government of
the United States. That pleasure was doubled when
the statesman so chosen was an author whose genius
had enriched our historical literature, and who had
been adopted by our great national university as one
of its most honored scions. They believed
that the same industry In the search after
truth, the same Judicious and calm investigation or
conflicting statements, the same absence of preju
dice and exaggeration, the same sympathy with
freedom and love of Justice, which characterized his
public writings, would equally distinguish his public
acts. He (Mr. Clarke) knew no nobler Held for the
exercise of these qualities than in the dispelling of
those misconceptions wnicn occasionally obscured
the intercourse of the two nations, and In cementing
the friendship which was pregnant with blessings to
the world. He assured Mr. Motley that here he
would meet with no sentiment Inconsistent with that
of greatness anil prosperity to the United States;
and persuaded as they were that he entertained
towards this country sentiments not less cordial,
they heartily bade him welcome to these shores.
(Cneers.)
Address of the Liverpool Chamber of Co m-
merce.
Mr. Blood, secretary, then read the following ad
dress: To his Excellency the non. John Lothrop Motley,
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
of the United States of America:
May it please your Excellency We, the President
and Council of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce,
beg most respectfully to offer you our warm and
earnest congratulations upon your arrival In this
country to discharge the Important duty of repre
senting the Government of the United States of
America at the British Court.
Closely connected as Liverpool Is, beyond all other
towns of the empire, with the United States by the
manifold ties of commercial intercourse and the still
closer bonds of personal friendship which link so
many among us to the citizens of your country, we
have a deep interest in the prosperity of the United
Slates and In the undisturbed maintenance of cor
dial relations between your Government and our
own.
It is a matter tons of unfeigned satisfaction that
your Government should have chosen a representa
tive so eminently qualified as yourself to preserve
and strengthen those friendly feelings which have
hitherto subsisted to the mutual advautage of both
nations.
We feel assured that yon will bring to the perform
ance of your high mission a spirit of wisdom, mode
ration and justice, and meeting, as we trust, with the
same spirit on the part of our Government, that
whatever questions may exist or arise between the
respective countries will be solved In the manner
most consistent with the real honor and interests of
the two peoples.
We do not regard you as altogether a stranger
among us. We are proud to welcome In you an
author who has illustrated anil adorned our commou
literature and won for himself an honorable place In
the ranks of Judicious and discriminating historians.
Dependent as we are upon trade, and believing as
we do that freedom of commercial intercourse Is not
only beneficial to the material interests of nations,
but Is one of the surest guarantees of peace ami
goodwill among them, we shall rejoice If you are en
abled to use the Influence of your distinguished posi
tion and abilities in removing or abating those fiscal
Impedimenta which at present limit the growth of
the commerce between the United States and tills
country. , . .
In a lew hours the last vestige of the protective
system will have disappeared from our tariff, and we
trust that the policy which has been so fruitful of
blessings to our country may before long be adopted
'"signed on behalf of the Council of the Liverpool
chamber of Commerce. Chaklbs Clakk,
President.
Mlnlxter Motley' Second Acknowledgment.
I IMr. Motley, In acknowledgment,sald: Mr. Presi
dent and Gentlemen of the Council of the Liverpool
Chamier of Comnierlce: I offer my respectful
thanks for the cordial language of the address to
which 1 have just had the honor of listening. I take
pleasure In expressing my high appreciation of the
friendly sentiments which you manifest towards my
country, and yon do me no more than Justice In sup
posing that It will be my object, so long as 1 have
the honor of holding the post of envoy from
the United States to her Majesty's Govern
ment, to do my best to promote a good un
derstanding between two nations essentially
of one race, bound to each other more
closely, perhaps, by the ties of kindred and by com
munity of Interests and pursuits than two leading
powers of the world have ever before been connected
in human history. (Cheers.) Certainly It Is super
fluous for me to say that the best anil highest pur
poses of these two great commonwealths, the Bri
tish empire and the American republic, are best ful
filled when faithful friendship exists between them.
(Hear.) The Amerlcsn people and the eminent
Chief Magistrate whom they havo so lately
chosen to lie depositary of their confidence and their
power are, animated now, as always, by the hope and
desire of maintaining sincere and amicable rela
tions with her Majesty's Government and with the
people of this empire, upon the basis of entire Justice
anil dispassionate regard for the rights and duties of
both countries. That, commerce between two such
vast communities can thrive only when perfect con
fidence exists is certain, and it is earnestly tho wish
of the American people that our commerce with
Great Britain and with all the world should be In
telligently extended and sustained. I have listened
with attention to what you have said with regard to
the commercial systems of Great Britain and Ame
rica. You will, however, pardon me If I do not go
beyor.d the limit of my official functions In order to
enter Into a discussion on fiscal policy; such Im
portant matters being regulated by the American
people through their representatives In Congress. In
accordance with what they believe to be required bv
the Interests of the country. Mr. President, and
gentlemen, 1 thank you in the name of the United
States Government, for the courteous and kindly
welcome you have given me as Its representative,
and I also express my sincere appreciation of the
kindness of the language which you have been
pleased to employ towards me personally.
The deputation then withdrew.
KnKlish Prcw Comment on Minister Motley's
Ijilrcc.
The London Tilcgrapk speakR In this manner:
It is matter for satisfaction, therefore, that Mr.
Motley comes rather to conduct the general relations
between Washington and the Court of St. James,
than to press any special and Imperative negotiation.
In his capacity of American Minister, Mr. Motley will
bo all the more welcome to us from tho fact that at
one time we were forced to regard him as the possi
ble bearer of instructions which could not fail to lead
the way towards a diplomatic rupture. We have
had a good deal too much recently of amateur diplo
macy; and we are none the less satisfied with the
now Amerlcau Minister because he did not volunteer
any explanation of his own views or of tho princi
ples he was instructed to uphold, when he met those
members of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce
who thought fltto wait upon him at the very hour
of bis lauding on British soli. Our views may be
old-fashioned, but after our lute experience we shall
much prefer to learn the intentions of the American
Government through accredited methods of commu
nication, rather than through casual talks with
sectarian deputations or painfully unstudied after
dinner effusions. Meanwhile we note with satisfac
tion that nothing can be more friendly or cordial
than the language in which Mr. Motley replied to the
deputation which met him at Liverpool. He assured
the delegates "that It was the most earnest hone and
wish of the President and the people f the United
States to cultivate faithful and friendly relations be
tween England and America."
The London Actrn alludes to the mission in the fol
lowing terms:
We are glad to lie able to conclude from Mr. Mot
ley's speech at Liverpool that he does not come to
London without instructions. Some of the Ameri
can papers are already complaining of the want of
any definite policy by General Grant's government,
and It is therefore satisfactory to llud that on the
question of its relations with this country that gov
ernment not only has a policy, but a pulley of concili
ation and of peace. It is useless to hide the
fact that Mr. Motley comes at a critical
period of our international relations. De
mands utterly Inconsistent with our honor
have been advanced amid the sympathy, If not tho
direct approval, of the American people, and have
provoked on our side a natural determination to re
fuse, at all risks, to entertain them. We shall be
glad to be officially assured of that which some of
the American papers tell us, that Mr. Motley's in
structions are to reopen the case, not on the basis of
Nr. Sumner's speech, but on some more practical
and more sensible foundation. The Government, and
people of England will be curious, if we cannot say
anxious, to know what that basis is. Mr. Motley,
at Liverpool, spoke of the desire of his people to
found our International relations on "a basis of
entire justice and dispassionate regard for the
honor and interest of each other." If Mr.
Motley's actual suggestions to Lord Clarendon
are fully pervaded by this spirit, we may hope for
his mission a success which was denied to that of
his predecessor. Jt Is, however, far too early as yet
to express any confident hope as to his mission at
all. One clear gain comes from Mr. Motley's pre
sence In London with some definite Instructions
from his government, and that is, the removal of
the whole question from the region ol unofficial de
bate and rhetorical exaggeration Into that of busi
ness statement and diplomatic negotiation. We are
content to leave our side of the question in the
hands of Lord Clarendon, and the country will ac
cept the settlement he and Mr. Motley arrange be
tween them. We should be glad to be equally sure
of its acceptance by the Senate of the United States

From Our Own Correspondent.
New York, June 12, 1969.
"Who is 'Rcddy the Blacksmith ?' " Is a question
that for the last few days has been almost as
much asked as "Who struck Billy Patterson ?"
once was. If my recollection serves me aright, his
surname is Varley, and he keeps a saloon. Some
months go unless again my memory mlsscrves me
he so beat and mauled a man who had presented
himself to him In the light of an aggressor, that
the victim's life was despaired of. The trial has
been on and off for many weeks. "Reddy"' so
called from the color of his hair Is a sort of "Kit
Burns," unpersecuted as yet by Oliver Dyer,
although Oliver, I am sorry to say, has been hun
gering after more broth to swallow, in the way of
fresh John Aliens. Iteddy was in jail for a while,
but managed to escape. On Thursday morning,
however, he appeared before the Court of General
Sessions, attired In broadcloth and gorgeous with
Brazilian pebbles, as Is the wont with men of
his status. His pals gathered around him like vas
sals around a threatened lord. Owing to some in
formalities, the trial was again postponed until yes
terday morning, when Reddy was discovered to be
Invisible. Ills ball, amounting to 12000, has been for
feited. Mr. Varley, It will easily bo guessed, is a
political striker. During elections It was his boast
that he could vote not only as early but as often as
he chose, having a staff under him consisting of a
couple of score of voters willing to exercise the
right of suffrage to an unlimited extent on cither
side. A bench-warrant has been issued for his
arrest.
The Indefatigable Mr. C. G. Rosenberg, artist,
poet, editor, ami novelist, has Just published a vo
luminous work, of varied Interest, that will doubtless
find its way to every hamlet in the land It Is enti
tled the "Wonders of the World." and constats of
graphic descriptions of all the marvellous natural and
artistic phenomena existing In all ages and countries.
It is Illuminated with over live hundred wood-cuts,
and is quite a monument of patient skill, taste, judg
ment, and that experience of literature and of people
which selects what will suit all appetites.
The deadbeat system has arisen to the Importance
of an institution. Scarcely a day passes but what a
restaurant proprietor discovers that his lamb and
peas, his strawberries and cream, to say nothing of
his sherry and champagne, have been swallowed by a
penitent stranger In a state of Impecunious hunger.
To-day It Is an unwaslfed newspaper ltemlzerj to
morrow a decayed actor. All that la required Is
cheek. You cuter, give your order with unfaltering
voice, look the waiter In the eye, and assume jtU air
of elegant unconcern when your chops and potatoes
a la LyvnnaUe are put before you, with perhaps a
bottle of claret. You prolong your meal as long as
possible, for the fatal moment, when It Is
Imminent, Is, to say the least, unpleasant
But tooth-plcklug and wineglass trifling will
not last forever. You rise and approach
the cashier's desk, check in hand. If your cheek
holds out so far, you endeavor to brazen It out with
a wink and a nod and a cordial "You know me!
Make It all right to-morrow." If it does not, you ex
plain your position, "no money," with as few bltmhes
as a simulated tangmid will spare you. Tills point
having been reached, you are not flong kept at that
climax of misery. The restaurateur either lets np
on you after a few remarks calculated to make you
the cynosure of the saloon, or a policeman Is called
In and you are hustled off to the station-house.
From my apparent familiarity with tho process, I
nope it will not bo for a moment supposed that I
have "been there." When I explain that I have
"assisted" as a spectator merely at several of
these explosions, and that the latest one was only
last evening, I hope that will bo considered sufll
clent. Prudent" patframVian are already objecting to tho
new system orjplcasurc carriages at the Park, on the
ground that they are enjoyed by Delllahs, and they
are afraid of their sons, locks being shorn. Unfor
tunately, this objection applies to nearly every public
luxury and convenience. Where can a man dine or
amuse himself, in public, except perhaps at tho
gymnasium and natatorlum, without encountering
the Delllahs? Tho ferryboats and steamboats, tho
stages and passenger cars, the theatres and
churches, the rostaurants and public, gardens,
lire full of them. But plenty of decent
men and women go there too, and
It Is difficult to sec that the cabrlola-wagonnettes are
particularly objectionable In this respect They are,
so far, a great success. They were patronized to a
great extent last Sunday; they will be patronized to
a greater extent next. To the middle classes of
people to the artisans, whose respectability pre
vents their helng ranked with the "lower classes"
they will be great blessings. They give their occu
pants a lovely drive, lasting one hour and a quarter,
for the extremely cheap price of twenty-five cents
apiece Ten days ago only four cabriola-wagonnettcs
were in existence. By Monday there will be nearer
forty.
That railroad accident not having administered a
quietus to General Grant and his party, they arrived
and departed very placidly. It cannot be said that
there was any excitement to see them. The Presi
dent's personal quietness seems to be magnetic and
to communicate Itself on occasions to the crowds he
comes In contact with. He and his suite arrived at
the depot at about half-past two In the afternoon,
anil were received with faint cheers by a feeble
crowd. Thence they embarked on the Desbrosscs
street ferry boat, ntnl thence took passage on the
Slary Powell, which lKire them to West Point. No
hunting displayed ItJielf, and the voice of the gun
powder was mute. There was, In fact, nothing to
indicate that the Presidential party had come and
gone, except, perhaps tho stump of a well-smoked
Havana cigar, found on the Desbrosscs street wharf,
and which a wandering newsboy appropriated, be
cause he had seen tt In the Presidential mouth.
Well may we exclaim that the remedies are worse
than the disease. Ever since the first intimation of
mallpox in the city, the papers have been dosed
with prescriptions none of which were ever known
to fall. Masks of ainmoniacum and mercury, with
eyelid ointment,of itr,incntnm hydrargijri, are recom
mended by some to prevent the pitting, and one
might imagine that an epidemic was raging, and the
muffled luhabiuwts of a doomed city were visited
hourly with the death-carts ami the plague cry of
"Bring out your dead:' There Is always a large
class of "loil" citizens, however, whose remedy for
any trouble consists in writing to the newspapers,
and perhaps it is only kind to let the harmless old
imbeciles have their way.
I attended last evening one of the most curious
exhibitions of the felnd I have ever seen. I have
witnessed Slgnor Blitz's canary birds, and I have
.heard Bobby, and I am willing to admit that these
performances are very wonderful; but until last
evening I had never witnessed the performances of
trained fleas. The entertainment Is not a public, one,
and perhaps derives some of tts piquancy from that
fact. A gentleman of this city, for many years a
patient student of insectivorous habits, has recently
perfected; his instructions of a quantity of fleas of
various nationalities. He has the Russian flea, the
French flea, the English ilea, the Japan flea, and
the American flea, and they arc trained to do a va
riety of feats, such as the pulling of coaches, the
drawing of buckets up a well, the firing of cannon,
sitting down to tabic, etc., all with extraordinary
nicety and obedience. A soon as he shall have
acquired sufficient confidence he proposes to make
his entertainment public, and he will probably enter
Into partnership with a professional necromancer,
and thus furnish a new feature to a harm
less amuserxent As, however, from the very na
ture of the performances, it Is quite Impossible that
the little creatures under his control should be
viewed by a large number of people at any one time,
It would be a great deal more feasible, I think, were
he to endeavor to secure a nook in Wood's Museum.
The sphere upon which the little ones operate Is a
card-lward arena, upon which are placed the utensils
In use. To these the fleas are attached by exceed
ingly fine-spun glass-threads passed around their
waists, and they are Incited to action by passes made
by their controller's hands, similar to those made by
a medium's. The exhibition if anything so private
can be called one took place in the parlor of a pri
vate house not very far from the Astor Library, and
is the uniquest New Yorkism In all tleadom.
The large and lovely, the broad and the bewitching
Desclauzas intends to create a seusation. At the
French Theatre, under Grau, she was overshadowed
bv Rose Bell, who If she was bonne was also bony.
She Is an operatic brand whom FUk has saved froiu
tiie burning, and will make her first appearance at
the Fifth Avenue Theatre in the part of "Pequlllo."
In some respects Desclauzas is the Jolllest woman at
present on the ora bmige stage here. Offthe stage,
men who love large women sigh for her In vain, for,
like Belinda In Pope's "Rape of the Lock," she
smiles upon them all alike, and cares for none of
them. "Pequlllo," It will be remembered, has hitherto
1km n Aujac the tenor's part In La Perichole, but
Desclauzas has a jwimi for men's parts, and the
novelty, will, for a time, till the thin benches at the
baud-box theatre.
During the week, reports have gained credence
that the reason of the sudden closing of the Grand
Opera House, where Patrie was beginning to
draw, was the foreclosing of the mortgage held by
Mr. Pike, for the property sold by him to Fisk, who it

Probable Unci v Kecouriiilnn of IheCuban (ot
eminent by lliu Culled SiuIcn.
Says the New York Herald' Washington corres
pondent of yesterday :
Mr. Ruiz, Secretary of Mr. Lemus, tho Cuban
Knvoy, has returned to this city, and since the news
of the volunteer revolution has been very active and
pressing for the recognition of the Cuban Govern
ment by the United States. He had along Interview
yesterday with Secretary Fish, and made some Im
portant disclosures calculated to hasten favorable
action by our Govenment. Mr. Ruiz also urged the
Secretary that the opportunity furnished by mice's
rcMguatlon under duress, and the extraordinary
state of affairs resulting from the course pursued by
the volunteers, was the most favorable that could
possibly be presented for enabling the United Statea
to promptly recognize the Cubans. He urged that,
in point of fact, the Spanish domination In the island
hud been terminated, and that beyoud question now,
whatever it might have been before, tho Cuban Gov
ernment ( Co was tho strongest. The volunteers
were, he said, divided and uncertain, while the
jiatriot government and army were united and
determined on their course. Under the circum
stmic.es, therefore, our Government was relieved
from the embarrassments In the way of recog
nition while Dulce supported tho Spauish sway
lu Cuba, Mr. Fish conceded that the statu of
affairs now existing In Cuba was anomalous, and
gave an entirely different aspect to the whole
question. He promised Mr. Ruiz to give his sug
gestions tho most careful consideration and atten
tion, and Intimated that he would be prepared with
an answer in the course of a few davs. Mr. Ruiz is
quite sanguine that at last the United States will
concede belligerent rights and formal recognition to
the Cubans. The friends and sympathizers of Cuba
are Jubilant, and from cursing Dulce and the volun
teers are blessing them for the violence and mad
ness which promise so favorably for the patriot
cause. Look out for recognition before many days.

"The Comptroller of the Currency has Issued a cir
cular stating that, it being apparent that the require
ments of the law relating to the publication of tho
reports of national banks as made to the Comptrol
ler of the Currency arc not fully understood, the fol
lowing Instructions to banks are published, viz. :
Banks are required to publish their report as soon
us possible alter they are made to the Comptroller,
and such publication must be an exact copy of the
original report, omitting only schedules, classifica
tions of loans and discounts, the atlldavlt of the
cashier or president., attestation of the directors, and
such of the printed items of resources and liabilities
as remain blank in the report furnished to the
Comptroller.
"1 he mai ket for Government bonds was Inclined
to buoyancy at the opening in consequence of tho
Improved feeling in consols and Five-twenties at
London and rumors that the trouble In Paris was
trilling in character after all; but weaker holders,
were unwilling to pay the high rates for carrying,
while larger speculators preferred realizing anil
lending their money on call. The result was a yield
ing of about one-quarter per cent, as compared with
the closing prices of yesterday. The struggle against
the decline was aided by reports that Secretary Bout
well was In town and contemplated buying an addi
tional million of bonds weekly.
"Foreign exchange was firmer and advanced,
owing to the scarcity of bond and commercial bills
and the limited supply of bankers'. Tho absence of "
the former is attributed to the lower price In Lon
don of American products and securities, while the
foreign houses are cautious about drawing In the
present Btute of the market. It Is also said that the
scheme of the gold 'bulls' embraces the purchase of
bankers' bills, which proceeding Is certainly a very '
shrewd way of affecting the market. Foreign ex
change Is a lever which can bo advantageously used
in such circumstances, as only a small advance in it:
is requisite to occasion a large advance In gold.
"Commercial paper was dull and Inactive. Makers
are not pressing in their demands not only because
the season Is a little too advanced for entering upon
new engagements, but because there is an impres
sion that the present stringency in money cannot
last. Bayers are equally Indifferent, as the present
rateson cull tempt them to use their money in the
temporary market. If the market conld be quoted
in these times, or if circumstances forced sales, the
range of discount would he probably from 8 to 10 per
cent, for prime double acceptances.
"The gold market was stronger In sympathy with
tho firmer tone to foreign exchange as well as to ru
mors that the Secretary of tho Treasury would re
duce the amount of his weekly gold sales."
