That this Uccline in the piicc of the prin cipal of llr-t-cla- securities and the conse-qm-nt rise in the rate of the income from litem, is, due, not to special causes, but to a general one w Inch affects the entire market, is proot by the cotempoianeous decline tntofuiment and municipal bonds.

LESS tOANAPLI' C'Al'ITAI, OH HAND. Tlio unmistakable meining of theso facts Is that the supply or loanable capitil lela tivc to the Jem ind is less than it was three years ago, and that, conscqnentlj, the own ers of It are able to obtain a larger compen ea:lon for its use. This, too. is in the face of notorious fact tint the call for capital for new investments has al-o diminished very Jnurli l.itlcin. both In Knrone and in this conntry. As 1 mentioned a 'loitnight ago, tbe new enteiprie-bioiulit out in London mhw Junuirj I, havebeei onl about thiee fiftiiof what they were duniig the corres ponding period f 1SU3, and lor the three months ending October 1 Ics than one-half. ,A similar dinnnutior. Us s taken place in this conntrv, though unfoite.niitcl, no accurate record ot the particular-has been kept The ecrtial diminution ir bot'i eountties of the Mipplv ot capital lor investment mu3t,tliere fon have diminished more than the actual le5innd, or else the rate or remuneration lor its use could not ha t risen. A lurther pioo! ot the nctua' decline in the amount of capital scckii.g investment is found in the qtuntitv ot new bonds of solv ent railroad companies, which ctnnot be marketed at w hat thei.- oflicers think a reasonable p-ice, and which it is by no means ceitain could be marketed at all. The Atchison, Topcka and -anta Fe Kail road Companv, tor example, has just agreed to pny 7 per cent pel annum for a two yeaxs' extension of a large maturing loan rather than try to -ell its 4 per cent lir-t mortgage bonds Man ot'ier railroad companies also liave. it is know n, bonds to -ell wnich they OnintaUciiiDtui offer, and as for the new bonds btill in the hands of their first taker-,, while It is impossible to compute theirexact amount, the must run up into the tens If not hundreds ot millions. SI-VV KNTLKFIUSU C1IOKLD OFF. How many new enterprises have been npped in the bud by tins difficulty of boi roning Is also hard to say exactly, but their number must be large. I am aw are that to tbosc wlio look only at the stock of cunency In the banks and in the pockets oi the peo ple, it seems i erj strange to say that there is less capital awaiting investment now than there wastwooi three years ago. They tee that tbe quantitv of gold m the counti v lias been im-reased and is increasing; tha"t silver dollars hae been coined by the tens of millions, and that the National printing pre's is pouring out $4,500,000 per month of paper money, ueninu winen -tanas an equal amount, gold a al ue, of silver bullion. But, like the ancient manner's "Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink,' m this ocean of mone is in itself unai ail able for investment purpose- I fcay "in Itself," because, until it is exehange'd for labor, mateiials, or commodities pioduced in Ittltorout of materials, it is of no moie value lot investment nut pose than so much rubbish. You mm plate an acre ot ground an inch deep with gold or silver, or plow into it bushels ot greenbacks, w ithour mak Digit yield u grain of wheat oi a single boll of cotton. The only capital which can be really used lor investment is the surplus of tho products of human industry over and above the quantity consumed in the process of production. THE MI KXMKAGn OF Fr.ESH CAPITAL. When the surplus is large and abundant, capital for new investments is abundant; when it is scanty, the amount of fresh capi tal available shrinks accordingly. Tho lat ter result inny be due either to deficient production, as in the case of bad harvests, or by misdirected enterprise, as in building railtoads and laetoiies, opening mines, and engaging m other undertakings which are not itmunerative Vhethei new capital be not produced, or where. aOer it is pioduced, it be wasted in unprofitable enterprises, comes to the same thing. It suems tome vers- likely that the diminished -unply of floating capital which l,as uiougut uowii inu uricu oi ijivcmiiieut securities results from both the causes just mentioned. The ciops in this country, ex cept cotton, foi the past two or three years, lia been pooi. In Europe the harvests aie nc-.ei Millicient for the wants of its popula i Km , and this year thoy are uncommonly nad On top of this, mo ell industry and ma il nalshave been wasted in ill-judged under takings on both sides ot tho Atlantic. Tho Panama canal, for examDle, swal lowed up bundled- of millions of dollars' worth, ot which nothing available remains. bfrmouy lias invested immense sums in tin irofitablo mines and factories, and Great 'tiitain has squandered n much in Argen tine ruilwnvs waterworks and land specu lations. Ot equallj unwise in estments in tin- countrj it i-'unnecessary for me to -peak. Mj readeis know too much of them, probublj, from thcii own experience. It oug'it not tosurpn-e them, therefore, that tl.c rcsei-i es of the w orld should for the mo ment hate been drawn down and must await replenishing bcfoie capital will again be as abundant as it was. THIS YEAR'S CROPS TO TAY OUT. Scli a replenishing, I am happy to agree with my optimist friends in believing, is about to result, for this country, from this J ai s abundant crops. hero I have dif le'i'd with them is in my estimate or the length of time required for the effect of this nbunUauce to tnake itself felt in financial cei.ters. In the famous legend of the old w -luian and her pig, the fire had to burn the Mick, the stick had to beat tho dog, tho dog to bark at the pig, and the pig to go through tho stile, before tho venerahlo lady could reach her domicile. So, the crops have first to be bought from tho larmers, the farmera have to pay their debts to thn storekeepers, the storekeepers theirs to the jobbors and to the banks, and then the proceeds begin to find their wav into tho hands of capital ists, w ho, in turn will send them out again in payment for labor and materials to be in vested iu now w ealth-producing forms. All this requires time, and until tho time noeded tor it has elapsed it is premature to anticipate it. Kvcnwhen the process has been completed, so many borrowers of capi tal now iVing quiet may spring forward with their demands, that the supply may, relativelv, be no gt eater than it is now, and thus good investments may still remain on their present S per cent basis.

"The State Senators will not make any campaign speeches this year," said Senator Xeeb yesterday. "Both the Republican and Democratic Senators have cancelled their dates for the reason that if thev spoke, it would he hard to steer clear of the meet ing of the Senate now in session, and as the members are placed in tlte position of jurors it would be highly improper for them to express an opinion on, whether or not the Governor's call was issued for political effect. "One of the Senators who was to have spoken is Alex. F. Thompson, of Dauphin He was scheduled for the Republican meet ing at Old City Hall next Saturday nigUt. Senator Thompson had expressed a desire to come here on account of a recollection he had of visiting Old City Hall just after the war, and I made the arrangements. He was discharged at Macon, Ga., when only 19 years old, and traveled irom the South in a cattle car. The troops had little to eat on the way, and when the reached Pittsburg were taken to Old City hall to be fed. In relating the story to me, Mr. Thompson said that was the first good meai he had been given in two years. He has not been in Old City Hall since, and for that reason was anxious to make the speech. "I think the session will end before next Saturday. Uy that I mean the investiga tion of iloyer and McUamant. The Gov ernor's supplemental message will hardly be considered until next week. The Re publicans are anxious to have the investi gation pushed as rapidly as possible, but still have it thorough, and unless the Demo crats keep up their dilatory tactics, we will get through before Saturday." One Woman Ilonnd to Vole. Chicago, Oct. 25. Mrs. E. Alice Miller began suit yesterday against AVilliam J. English, John J. Healey and Luke Covne, Election Commissioners, for $20,000 dam ages. The action is brought because of the rule issued by the Election Commissioners prohibiting the Judges of Election from allowiug women to register. A Heifer With Its Heart in Its Month.

While Governor Pattison and members of his staff were qualifying as marksmen, at the Governor's Troop ranqe, yesterday afternoon, some members of the Harrisburg Gnu Club, whoso grounds cross the range, began firing at clay pigeons. The shot whizzed about the Governor's party, all of whom hunted cover but the Governor himself, until, at last, astray Bhot struck him on the bacK of tho head.

Npne of the others in the Governor's party were hurt. Fliock In the Custom House. Great commotion and surprise in the Pittsburg Custom House was caused by the first importation of diamonds that was ever made direct in bond to Pittsburc, Mr. M. J. Smit, the Smithtield street jeweler, de serving full credit for so doing. Mr. Smit is a professional diamond polisher,-and that certainly entitles him to be considered the best e.pert in the city. Mr. Smit left for .Europe in July and returned the latter part of September 1891. During his stay in Amsterdam, Holland, he visited the largest factories where the diamonds are cut and pol ished, and from them made personal selec tion of an elegant lot of diamonds, varying in weight as sratll as 1-61 of a karat np to 10 karats each stone. The great display and sale of said dia monds will begin on Tuesday. October 27, and will be personally superintended by M. J. Smit, who will assist purchasers in the selection of ear drops, lace pins, neck laces, hair pins, or any design in mounting of said diamonds will fie carefully executed. Sow is your time to secure great bargains in diamonds, as they will be sold at lower prices than ever offered in this city or any part of the TJjited States. You can make your holiday selections and wo will take care of them for you free of charge until called for. M. J. Ssirr, 311 Smithfield street., Opposite Sew Postoffice.
