Every Freichmnn Suspicions of a Stranger -suie Serious Kesulta. A correspondent of the New York Tribune writes as follows from Alx-les-Bains, under date of Sep tember Tne publication of stories relative to the arrest of Prussian spies has made all Paris suspicious, and the results in several cases Have been vary s scions. At Bouvalx, the other day (a great manu facturing place), a professor of musia was fishing quietly on the banks of a canal, when he was at tacked by a number of men, who after calling him a Prussian, threatened to lirow him into the water. In spite of his protest that be was a loyal French man, they beat him, dragged his clot lit b from his back, robbed him of his money, and hooted him through the town to the Mayor's oillce, where he finally obtained shelter. In Paris, a Sis ter of Charity was hooted at and followed by an angry mot) who had got It into their heads that, because of her taiiness, she was a Prussian grenadier in disguise! They had some reason to be suspicious, for this device has been adopted by the enemy in several cases. The English chaplain at Marseilles writes to the I'all Mall (J&zettc that he was attacked by three men, who Insisted that he was a spy, and haled him to the Prefecture to be examined, having no other ground for their belief than the fact that he had a llgiit complexion, waB a stranger (to them!), and that, when in the cafe where they had first seen him, he had held his tongue . and had only replied to the waiter who asked him what country" he came from, "Why do you ask?" At Rheims, a few days since, a young man, the only son of well-known, wealthy people of the town by the name of Carangeot, was amusing himself with sketching in a field near the city, when ajgitizen, driving by In his carriage, asked him whatne was doing. From what follows one would think the boy must have been deaf, for there seems no other reason for his not replying. The citizen, however, drove at once to the neighboring ond camp, reported what he had seen, whereupon two soldiers went back with blm, and, finding the young man still seated at his work, put the same question to him that the first had done. Not receiving any reply, they at once shot the poor boy dead. I suppose you have ere this published the horrible Btory of the burning alive of the young farmer in Dordogne. It was at first said that he was accused of being a spy, but it is now ascertained that it was not for this that he was murdered, but because the peasants had the notion that he had been able to get rid of the conscription by paying a large sum of money I The facts have not been In the least ex aggerated, and it Is said that General Palikao has ordered an Investigation. But such horrors are not to be cured by Investigation. They are the simple natural result of the Ignorance In which the Church and the Government have joined willing hands to Keep this peasantry Uubruted. I close with a story which shows that the thieves have with their usual ingenuity begun to turn to their own advantage the Prussian Uhlan panic. A company of these ubiquitous marauders entered a border town and demanded the Mayor. On his ap pearance they told him they were sent to order the Immediate payment of M.ooo francs, for which they would give him a receipt. If the money was not forthcoming, they had a sufficient force near by to pillage and burn the town. The Mayor assured them that the sum they demanded was out of all reason ; that all the money in the place did not amount to so much. The Uhlans then declared that they wuuld not stir for less than 5000 francs. This sum was raised wlthldimculty. a receipt in due form was given, and the French thieves who bad robbed Uhlans, slam in a recent skirmish, of their uniforms, gaiiopea on wua vueir oooty. TUB WUBTEMDERGERS. The Cencratalatory Address ( Prlnee Augus tus the Heroism of the Uuards. Every day new details are received which show the fearfully murderous character of the battle of Gravelotte, The Corps of Guards went In 36,000 strong, and lost 7000 killed and wounded, in some of the regiments only three or four officers remained unwounded. and the regiments of batta lions and companies were brought out of the tight oy ensigns ana non-commiBsiouea omcers. Tne com mander of the Corps, Prince Augustus of Wurtein burg, has issued the following: Soldiers of the Corps of Guards: In a bloody battle God has given us victory a victory which we ouiy now see in an its extent ana greatness. The Corps oi Guards has been able to contribute In a prominent manner to the achievement of that vic tory, ah arms nave rivalled in courage and en durance. The artillery, by united etforts at decisive points, and by deliberate and correct firing, even where exposed to the shots of hostile Infantry, has successfully prepared and supported the attack of the Infantry: the storming of the villages of St. Marie aux Cbeves and St. Privat la Montague each surrounded with stone walls, under the murderous musketry fire of the enemy, has been carried out In a manner which Is above all pralBe. Carried away by the example of their omcers, the infantry, with the Bhamshooters and Dioneers. drove the enemv from a position considered by him unconauerable.

A Berlin correspondent writes as follows : The Crown Princess, with all her children, left last night for Iloinburg, near Frankfort, where she will remain until the war is over, and where she will take a prominent part In the care of the many wounded that are in and about Uomburg, Manhetui. Frankfort. Weisbaden. etc. LtkeCaisar. who would rather be the first in Saguntum than the second in Home, she prefers to be Her own mistress and the first at Uomburg. than to subordinate herself In her works of charity to her illustrious mother-ln-Jaw, Queen Augusta, who, of course, is first here in Berlin. She is not at all popular, although she very much tries to make herself so; and rumor has it that there la anythlug bat friendship between the Queen that la and the Queen that is to be. The King and the Crown Prince never were more popular than now, and the latter la confidently looked to as the first of the distin guished line of German Emperors. He Is the Idol of all troops, of the South Germans especially . One day be was talklDg to a number of Bavarian soldiers, wnenone oi tueiu oiuatiy saia: -ion see, your Rojal Highness, If you had but led uaJnlSo6, then we mould bave surely beaten these d d Prussians." WHY FRANCE FAILED. TbeUrosa Frauds In ih tJsvrroinent What t ooatltutes a Mtate. The London Spectator says: A writer in the London Afict was told by two gra Blers of Plcardy, as a matter within their own know ledge, that in a very considerable number of In stances which they could specify the military autho rities bad got only 1800 men in a full regiment, in stead of 8000, though there were 8HK) names on the rolls. The uxim operandi was this: Fourteen or fifteen years ago private societies undertook to find substitutes for such of those drawn In the conscrip tion as could pay for a substitute. While this was so those societies received the conscripts' money, and as It was, of course, the Interest of the army autho rities to get the full number or men, the men were always provided. But since the law has required the money paid by those who can pay for substitutes to be paid directly into the military chest, It has become the interest of those who control the mili tary chest to pocket the money and put sham sol diers on the roils. Ttiese graziers oi ncauy to:i the Va'ly Xcie correspondent that they could point out many companies which nominally consisted of one hundred men, and could only muster thirty, ami as we have said before, they maintained that the average t rench regiments could not muster much above bair their nominal strength, xvow, individual statements of this kind, made, as they onlycould be made, from personal knowledge of a few selected cases, would be utterly worthless as evidence If they did not agree so marvellously with the con spicuous facts of the war. The French have been not only disastrously outnumbered, but their armies have fallen ludicrously short of their nominal strength. Every one who knows anything of the war knows that of the 750,000 men whom the French army should have numbered on a war footing, barely 400,000 fighting soldiers were to be found in f ranee birore tne great defeats. And if this nollcv of embezzling the 80 paid by every French con script as substitute-money has been largely pursued in some regiments, there can be little doubt that it nas spread more or less through the whole French army. It Is a "real cause-' i. ., one proved to exist., ana aiso one adequate to produce the re markable eiiects which have been produced; hence, we may fairly assume It as one of the most probable of all the hypotheses accounting for the French fail ure, -mat me same cause gross corruption was at work in the Commissariat Department and the departments regulating the supply of chassepots, every one knows. Everywhere the French army has been starved to enrich Individuals. Uhisisthemore serious a lesson to us. because pecuniary corruption is the very root of the greatest and most menacing evils in every Anglo-Saxon society. It caused a great proportion of the disas ters in the Crimea. It caused enormous waste and many disasters In the American civil war. It still causes the greatest possible political evils In Ameri can society. It was certainly at the root of the mon strous waste of our Abyssinian campaign, where the published evidence goes to show, for instance. that a good million sterling was wasted on mules never wanted, or at least never used f that "consuls and vice-consuls received huge commissions for a few weeks' service in procuring mules ' we quote from Allen's Indian Mail of the 23d Anirnat that '. laree batch of camels was bought at Suez the dav- aiter Magdala was known to have fallen:" and gene rally, mat several millions were wasted on what was known to be useiess to the expedition, for the gain of various classes and Individuals. Unless there be some early and severe check to this sort of canker at the heart of all great organizations, the Germans, who seem at present to be almost completely free from the temptation to corruption, will not oniv become the masters of Europe, but deserve to be so. No nation can confess more plainly its complete unworthiness to bo held of any great account in the political counsels of the world than giving evidence that its average citizens those whose opinions build up the public life of the State value meir own private interests so far more highly than the public interestrthat they will cheat the 8tate to serve themselves. It is quite certain that people of this kind do not deserve to belong to a State whlcn exercises a wide control in foreign affairs, and that they take the surest possible means to un dermine the very foundations of the controlling power. A temperate, frugal, and laborious Germany, in which every man really honored the State as the true organ of what they call with ao much love "the Fatherland." would have every riirht to what It would certainly soon ga'n a predominant influ ence in Western Europe if its only rivals were a selfishly and unscrupulously mercantile Great Bri tain, a laise ami gasconading France, and an in triguing, wily, pliant Italy. There la no such thing as a great State built up out of a people that la not great, if any sort of corruption pervades nuollo morality, this dry-rot must attack, and sooner or ater, as now in France, go far towards ruining the State. ' MARCH IN ft TO PARIS. What Germany will Demand The Views of I'rince fleas. A correspondent writing from Bar-le-Duc. August 25, says: I have just had a half-hour's conversation with Prince Pless, the Inspector-ln-Chlef of the Kranken tragers, or, as we should say, the Ambulance Corps. After some talk about the special department of which his Highness is the head, we began talking about the campaign, and the Prince expressed his opinion very freely. correspondent -now long does your Highness think it will be before we reach Paris?" I'rince Pless "Oh, In about ten days we shall be there, I fancy ; In a fortnight I hope we shall have peace. Correspondent "Bat do you not expect a siege of Paris?

Correspondent "What do you Imagine will be the conditions of peace proposed by Count Bismarck, supposing your troops enter Paris In triumph or de feat the French in a great battle under its walls?" Prince Pless "My dear sir. the plans of Count Bismarck are not for me to seek to penetrate, but none of us Prussians will feel satisfied unless mate rial guarantees against such sudden attacks of France are required and obtained." correspondent "wnat is understood by material guarantees? Alsace and Lorraine?" Prince Pless "No, I do not think we should go as far as that, strasburg will be a sine qua non if we are victorious before Paris. Holding Strasburg, we could threaten France with Invasion in case of a new war." CONQUERORS' HOPES. The Responsibility of the War What Ger. uasy experts. The German Kreux-Zeituna (Oom Gazette) savs: -mat me guilt oi mis war rests witu r ranee is evi dent, and it is equally clear that if the arrogance of trance is not oroiten, we snail oe exposed to tne continual danger of new cennicts. No one can doubt that the nation itself must be punished for this. We have said it Is the guilt of the nation, and though the horror excited by the brutal acts of the Frencn mates it aimcuit for us to distinguish be tween national guilt and Individual crime, our poli ticians wm uoi iorget tne principle or modern civui zatlon which foroids hostilities against private per sons But.since we lay the whole responsibility of tins war on the French nation, we cannot but demand full compensation for the injury dono, as far as It can be estimated in money; and the more firmly we are convinced that France will continue to threaten her neighbors, and to endeavor to obtain the pro ven; oi outers, wiiuuui ubiuk remraiuea oy any scruples except such as arise from doubts as to her own power, the more clear aoes it become that Ger many must demand substantial guarantees for her future security. Money contributions have only reference to injuries which bave been sustained ; but, to secure ourselves against the return of such dangers, the frontiers of F'rance must be changed so as to render an aggressive war on her part as dimcuit as possible, aud as. by force and cunning. F'rance has obtained, at the expense of Germany, a frontier which pampers her appetite for the posses sions of her neighbors, and flatters her evil inclina tions by making success appear easy, it seems to us mat a neaitny ana national policy imposes on uar many the duty of reclaiming the provinces of which she has been deprived. This is net a policy of cenquest, for we undertook the war purely in self- ueieuse tu pro v cut us puruuus 01 our territory being taken from us, and we should be indescribably ainipie-minaea u, instead oi mating use oi the for tune or war, we were to leave the enemy in undis turbed possession of bis territories, and with the ronv'ction that he may subject us to an unprovoked attack, whenever be will, without surging, acjUiic, but a temporary pecuniary loss. If a longing for the Rhine has become almost a monomania among the French, we may perhaps help to restore them to their senses by removing that river quite out of their range of vision. The present war must have taught Europe, even if she was not before aware of Ue fact, how very difficult It Is (or other States to avoid bcliig Involved In a conflict between France an I Germany, and she should therefore show no repug nance to a conclusion of the hostilities which would render the repetition of such an event almost im possible." RITUALISM. Opening of the Mission Chapel of SI. Sacra mrnt. The controversy excited in the Church of Eng land during the past few years bv the form of wor ship adopted by what Is knjw as the Ritualistic body of churchmen, has already become a part of the ecclesiastical history of that country. It should then be a matter of little surprise that a question which has so agitated the parent Church in Eng land threatens to form a most Important chapter in the history of the Episcopal Church In America. A few months ago the Hev. Joshua i. Bradley, an eminent exponent of ritual ism in England, arrived in this city, and consulted with many High Church Episcopal divines as to the possibility of establishing a mission among the poor or tins city, alter tne manner of the ritualists in tne city of London. The result of this consultation was the establishment of the Oratory of Saint Sacra ment In a large room on the second floor of No. Vl5 Broadway, the Right Key. Bishop Potter supporting it witn nis iniiuence. The Oratory was formally opened for divine ser vice yesterday morning at 6 o'clock. A large con gregatlon was present at this early hour, filling the chapel to repletion and listening with marked atten tion to tneworos or tne ritual ana tne subsequent remarks of a number of the clergy. Many curious eyes were turned toward the altar, which was placed upon a raised dais and was approachable bv steps, as in Roman Catholic churches. In the centre of the altar was a large golden cross, on either side of wnicn were ngnted candelabra. A white ciotn covered it, and the missal stood upon a gilt frame stand. On the right of the altar stood the little table, with the elements. The services commenced with the singing of the Introit, "Thou feedest thine own people witn angers rood." by the choir of Trinity Church, and the priests, clothed in chasubles, with albs and stoles, approached the altar. Alter the commandments had been intoned, two small boys, clad in black capes over fine white tunics, and wearing scarlet hoods, carried silver travs among tne congregation and solicited con tributions, apparently; with nuch success. During the oirertory the choir sung Spohr's anthem, "As pants the hart." The elements were then conse crated and administered. A period for private prayer ensued, many of the congregation dispersing, in this manner there were services held at 7, 8, and 9 o'clock, during which time twelve low masses were given, the celebrants being Fathers Brown, Mine. McCoofc, Noyes, Paine, Parkman, and Bradley. At 11 o clock there was to be a high mass, and scarcely had the 9 o'clock mass ended, when the congregation intending to take part In the most Im portant service of the day began to crowd around the entrance eager to get seats, and soon the hall was uncomfortably crowded. As soon as 11 o'clock arrived Mr. Messiter, or Trinity Church, presiding at the organ, commenced the voluntary, and with its first notes the acolyte, In white surplice and purpie satin, bearing aloft a massive cross, appeared at the door of the veatry, followed by I)r. Seymour, In white surplice and crimson stole; two more acolytes m white albs, with red capes, and the celebrant, Father Bradley, wearing a black satin cincture, stole, and crimson silk chasuble, having a golden-embroideieiT cross upon the back and front. The procession passed in this order to the altar steps, where they stood while the Introit, near my rrayer, was sung oyine cnoir. At its conclusion Father Bradley ascended the Epistle side of the altar and read from the Misstf. The Gospel of the day was then read on the left of the altar, the ceieorant, witn tne acoiytes, retirea to me rignt or the sanctuary and sat down, while the Rev. Dr. Seymour, of the Theological Seminary, attired in white surplice and black satin. lth a scarlet silk stole. proceeded to the reading desk, and taking his text from Acts, 2d chapter and 42d vers: "They continued stead fastly in the apostles' doctrine of breaking bread and prayers," preached a brief but very elaborate sermon In defense of ritualism. The consecration of the Eucharist then took place, the celebrant going to the communion-table with the chalice and receiving the water and the wine from the hands of two acolytes. Then the host was elevated and the communion was administered. The "Gloria" was chanted, and the washing of the fingers used in consecration fol lowed. Many of the congregation knelt during the whole service, except while the Gospel iwas read. The ceremonies lasted over two hours, and the same order of procession was observed retiring as on entering. Mass will be said hereafter In this chapel at 7 A. M. every day. There will be an evening ser vice, commencing at 8 o'clock, every night during the present week. At these latter services there will be preaching by the Rev. Morgan Dlx.

THE MASSACRE AT TIEN-TSIN. Fuller Details of the Horrible Barbarities of Ihe Chinese Mob Dreadful Outrages npon the Msters of Charity One Hundred Orphan Children Burnt Alive. We have already published the principal facts connected with the Inhuman massacre on the 21st of June by a Chinese mob at Tlen-tsin of the French Consul, a number or other rench sub ects. Including several priests and the Sisters of Charity attached to tne iTencn nospitai or tne city. The London standard publishes a private letter, written from Cheefoo, June 30, in which the barbarities practised on the fatal day of the massacre are fully depicted. After telling how the French Consul, M. Fontanier, M. Thomassln. an attache of the consulate, and his wife, and two Catholic priests were murdered, the letter proceeds to give details of the sanguinary sequel to these crimes. THE WRETCHED DEATHS OF THE SISTERS OP CHARITT. The mbb, led on by soldiers, set fire to the con sulate and the church of the Cat nolle mission, and burnt all the other Inmates who could not escape. Simultaneously with the assault on the French con sulate, the mob and soldiers surrounded the hos pital of the French Sisters of Charity. Having set tire to a portion or me ouuaing, mey entered the gates and dragged alllthe Sisters of Charity out into the street. There they stripped them naked, exposed them to the public gaze, plucked out their eyes, cnt off their breasts, ripped thera open, dragged out their hearts, and deliberately cut them in pieces and divided portions of their flesh amongst the Infu riated mob. No European witnessed these outrages of humanity save the poor victims, who, in pres ence of each otner, passed through the terrible ordeal, and perished without hope of release, and.witnout any support in that extreme hour of misery and torment save their confidence In a merciful God, whose behests they have endeavored to fulfil amongst a barbarous people at the peril of their lives. Chinese spectators of that bloody scene relate other horrors perpetrated on the Inno cent ladies that cannot be mentioned. The lady Biiperlorcss of the hospital. It is related, was cut In twain while yet alive. God alone and the sisters know what they endured of agony and bodily suffer ings. Their modesty outraged, their purity defiled, tneir poor irau iraraes torn asunder, tneir biooa scattered, and their lives destroyed by savages whose murderous rage Inflicted all those and other outrages amidst a scene of horror that alone would le terrible to encounter. One short hour sufficed to extinguish those noble martyrs of charity. Their labor of love amongst the poor of Tien-tsin for six years was thus crowned In bitterness and earthly Fharae by the very people whom they had succored and fed and clothed and tended in the hour of sick ness and pestilence. BURNING OP THE ORPHANS ALIVE. No sooner had the mob and the soldiers glutted their thirst for human blood on the unfortunate sis ters, than they burned the entire hospital. Nearly one hundred children, who had been received Into the orphanage attached to the hospital, perished in the flames. The mutilated members of the dead sisters were thrown Into the burning ruins, and thus. together with the little children thev were charitably nurturing, was me uuiucauat uompieieu. HOW MR. AND MMB. PROTOFOPOFP WERE KILLED. Such a tale of horrors would suffice, but more still remains to be told. Mr. N. Protopopoff, a Rus sian merchant, with nis wire, to whom he had only reen marriea two aayB. were met in tne town or Tien-tsin by the same Infuriated mob and soldiery, and attacked witn spears ana sworas. jur. rroto- popotf fell almost immediately, and was cruelly mur dered. His wife, who was on a spirited horse, tied for her life, but being repulsed from the road, turned back, and attempted to leap an open sewer in the town, sne ien witn ner norse. out, extricating Her self, nid ror a few minutes in tne sewer, until she was dragged out and killed by the mob. The bodies of these two Russians were thrown into the sewer, and afterwards recovered by their friends. Thev had been stripped naked, and had been subjected to most Barbarous usage. THE BAD DEATH OF MADAME CHALMAISON. A French merchant, M. Chalmaison, hearing that the Sisters of Charity were being attacked, tried to get near the hospital to defend them, but he was caught In the street and hacked to pieces. His wife. on hearing of her husband's death, fled to the house of a native Christian and remained there till night. wnen, aisguisea in uninese aress, sne venturea to her house, thinking to see the body of her dead hus band. After a fruitless search she endeavored to get back to the Chinese house, but being discovered by some of CuiiBg How's trained troops (the Chung How Rifles), she was killed by them in the street. SLAUGHTER OF FRIENDLY NATITE3. About fifty Cantonese men, who were suspected of being on intimate terms with the Europeans. were murdered during the excitement, and even to wards the end of the day some miscreants were prowling about the foreign settlement. One of them was taken with a loaded pistol, and he con fessed that he had been sent to kill some of the Europeans in the customs service. THE FRENCH MINISTER DETAINED AT PEEIN. What the French authorities will do Is wrapped In the future. The Count de Rochechouard, the French Charge d'Affaires at Pekln, by last accounts. Is detained at the imperial capital. Some report that tne i niuese Emperor will not auow mm to leave I'ekin, as they declare they have no power to protect mm rrom being muraerea, eitner on me road or at Tlen-tsin. by the same assassins who have already killed so many of his compatriots. Whether the French Charge d'Affaires Is detained for other mo tives it is difficult to state, possibly bis departure Is feared lest he should take immediate steps for a retribution for the fearlul blow Inflicted on French prestige in China, and that by keeping him at Pekln time may be gained to soften down tne painful lm. presslona caused bv the late massacre. A short time will bring the French admiral to the scene of the catastrophe, and unlets the most summiry and complete humiliation be Imposed on the Chinese Government, French Influence will have ceased In China from the 81st of June, when so much of her Innocent blood was shed by her triumphant enemies. THE CHINESE GOVERNOR OF TIEN-TSIN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAS8ACRX. There was no available force at Tlen-tsin for the defense of British property or life. Chung How had been requested four consecutive days previously by the British ConBul to take precautionary measures to avert the outbreak, or afford protection, and he never even vouchsafed to answer to these important omciai requisitions made to him as the chief au thorlty of Tien-tsin Upon Chung How doubtless rests the responsibllty and blame of the whole of this murderous Insurrection, and It is to be hoped that condign punishment will be inflicted on him for his connivance at the slaughter of so many innocent persons. FRANCE AND ENGLAND MUST EXACT VENGEANCE. The horror of the outrage is only equalled by the treachery of the Chinese Government, and sooner or later the Emperor himself will have to answer the indignant forces of France, and It is to be hoped of England also, for the gross breach of humanity that nas nu.paraiiei in modern times.

Philadelphia vs. New York The Grand Match Between the Younc America and 8t. George Clubs The New Yorkers Badly Beaten. The well-known Young America Club, of Philadel phia the crack cricket club of the country arrived in town yeHierauy, ana at noon oegan play with the time-honored "Dragon Mayers'' of the St. George Club, of this city. The first game between them this season was played in Philadelphia In June last, when tne America eleven aeieateu ine L,ngiisn party with six wickets to fall. The contest of yesterday was the return match, and the result promises to be the most signal defeat of our city club known in the his tory of their organization. The 1 oung Americas began play at noon yester day, the St. George eleven Bending thera to the bat, and before the third wicket had fallen the American batsmen had run up a score of over 90 runs. After ward the average of scoring was materially lessened, the St. George eleven fielding finely and bowling with better eirect; but thev could not prevent their expert adversaries from running up the handsome total of 145, of which Harry New hall and Bussier contributed 100, the former scoring 64, In One style, and the latter 86. The next best score was Robert Newhall s 18. This was a good beginning, and the at. George party did not look very sanguine of success when they took their turn at the bat ; but they did not anticipate quite such a Waterloo defeat as the score of tueir first Inning Inau gurated, for, singular to relate, the fit. George . eleven retired for the small score of 45, their fifth wicket falling for 10 only. This obliged them to follow their Inning, and six wickets in their second inning fell for only 13, when they made a stand, and when their seventh had fallen they had scored 52 runs. This still left thera 48 to get to save a defeat in one inning, and this score they hope to obtain to-day, the game being appointed to be re sumed at 11 A. M.

' Xvumra Tzleoiufb Omcncl ' Friday. Sept. 16. 1670. I The local money market retains Its stringent features, and an active revival at the Stock -board, to effect which strong efforts are being made, would cause much distress among busi ness men, as a further advance in rates for -loans would be inevitable. There Is an average , demand for money to-day, and at the banks this exceeds largely the amount of funds at their disposal without trespassing on their re serves. The poverty of the banks necessarily adds to the activity of the street, and rates ' there are almost nominal. The range for call loans Is still 56 per cent, and for first-class mercantile paper 6(59 per cent. Gold is free from speculative movement, and . the premium ranges between 1H and 111)4. The tendency is slightly upward. Government bonds attracted very little atten tion in this market, but prices are still on the advance. At the Stock Board there was a moderate busi ness, and prices were higher. City sixes sold at 101 for the new issue, and Lehigh Gold Loan at t0.
