At the Cnniplnf ; Ground * .
ST. Loi-is.Juno 2. Chairman Barnum ar
rived early thin mornlnp , but could not bo
scon. Congressman Scott , the Pennsylvania
member of the committee , reached the city
this morning. Ho stated that although ho
'had bftd no conference with n few of the
members of the national committee who are
, now In St. I-ouH , yet General Collins , of
Ylimachuscttn , would undoubtedly be chosen
permanent chairman of the convention. He
"could not any n to what the ' -011111111100
would determine upon as to the temporary
Chairmanship of the convention. The Maryland -
\ -land delegates and n portion of the Indiana ,
Connecticut and Arl/ona delegations arrived
' here this morning. William S. Wilson
„ ' thought Tliurnmn's nomination was most
generally favored by the Maryland people.
ijn the event of his refusal to bo a candidate
. Maryland will favor a western man , inclin
ing towards Indiana nnd Illinois , with Indi
ana preferred.
The Paclflc coast delegates are actively at
work in the Interest of Stephen M. Whlto for
1 temporary chairman of the convention and
express the belief that ho will bo nominated
4 > y acclamation as soon us the committee
inents. Senator Uorham , pf Maryland , dls
.jjlainn all desire to wield Urn gavel during
the opening hours and openly espouses the
'candidacy ' of Governor \Vhitc. The resolu
tions to go before the convention are begin
ntng to take shape. Utah nnd Nevada are
'figuring on the silver plank , whllo others
conflno themselves to endorsing the policy of
-.tlio ) administration.
' Though the vast majority of the dom-
f ocrats who have gathered hero to attend the
" "convention bollevo Judge Tliurnmn will bo
nominated for vlco president almost without
tu opposition , the matter IB by no means
nottlcd. All efforts to induce Congressman
. Scott , who represents the president , to speak
j on the vlco presidency have failed. The
ff ! rlcnds of Governor Gray have approached
liim for the purpose of ascertaining what his
wishes are without gaining the slightest sat-
. satisfaction. Governor Gray's friends pruc-
, tically admit that if Thurman Is the adminls-
c trutloii'3 choice ho will be tbo nominee , but
Scott's reticence has given ; them some hope ,
r.Oii J they are to-night hard at work. Tomorrow -
row they will call In a body on the delegates
from the Pacific coast at the headquarters of
7 the latter. The coast men declare that
Thurman's popularity with their people Is
( BO great If the republicans should make a
nomination unsatisfactory to the Pacific :
states , the three states of the slope
can bo carried for the democracy. Gray
fticn moot this argument with the statement
, . that Indiana is likely to bo the great battle
'ground , and that the democracy could in no
way make surer of it than to nominate Gray.
> Among the best Informed persons here , there
Is but little doubt that Congressman Scott
came hero with the intention of nominating
Judge Thurman ; they sny the entire pro-
, gramme for the convention ticket and plat-
. ioim ; was arranged u few days ago in Wnsli-
I f ngton , and all that now remains to bo done
Is for the convention to ratify Cleveland's
v wishes. At the same time Scott has discov
ered that there is considerable opposition to
ttho plan of allowing the administration to
jfllctiito everything , and he is timid about
nf yowing his programme , fearing the ill-effect
, jUthat might follow such a course. Ho has so
VTar been very cautious not to commit himself
to Tluirman or anybody else.
Ono pf Governor Gray's lieutenants said
, ilo-nlght : "Wo are willing Now York and
Cleveland's friends should make Iho head of
Abe ticket , make the platform and select
t.lemporary and permanent chairmen of the
f , convention , but wo are not willing they shall
po a step further and name the vlco prcsi-
A.ilqnt. Many southern delegates are said tel
l > o for General Ulacl ; but it is intimated that
'Jlis mime will not bo presented to the con
vention. The objection to Senator Tliurman
On account of his age appears to bo milking
headway. Dennis O'Brien , a delegate from
Now York , says New York wants an
Indiana man on thu ticket. He says
it has been settled that mayor
Chapln of Brooklyn Is to make
the speech nominating Cleveland. As to
i , the platform , it is agreed it will reaffirm the
the tariff plank of 1884 and endorse the
president's message , but will probably omit
c.nny reference to the Mills bills ,
t Considerable complaint Is made by dclo-
"cates over the arrangcmcntof the convention
iiimll. Of 3,300 Scats in the two galleries , it Is
.Claimed fully 1,000 are so situated that their
occupants will bo unable to see the delegates
. .below. Chairman Barnum and Senator
fJormun suggested to the local committee
that the scats In the galleries bo put upon an
t Incline , but It was developed that the hall is
* to bo used next week for the Sacngcrbund ,
i nnd that the scats in the galleries must bo
placed level and bo made temporary so thai
they can bo taken * out and small tables
F substituted for the convenience of beer
urinkcrs. The arrangements in regard to the
( . | > rcss table were all ovciturned this after
vjioon , the national committee finally reall/int ,
, tIiHt the arrangements of space and tables
Were entirely unsuitable.
The coast delegates have consented to a
jiroposition , originating with Maryland , to
'outer a caucus to-morrow morning for the
-jiuriKmi of uniting on a candidate for the
rvlco presidency. The coast delegates met
, itbls afternoon and agreed to discuss the
expediency of n combine. Their second
choice is Dickinson , whose niuno is advanced
c'tis the choice of the administration. Indiana
Ols a party to the combine and that state will
1)0 solid for Gray , ns the delegates say they
'acannot liopo for u successful campaign with-
tout Thurman on the ticket. A report was
1 wired from hero yesterday stating that
"Senator Hearst had telegraphed the Examiner
of San Francisco to cease advocating Tliur-
Xlnaii , and on the strength of this ropoit
'gossip ' had It that the senator was making an
Truffort to capture the place on the national
ticket. The senator says ho never sent such
n message , and says the coast delegates are
solid for Tnurman but the situation is
changing all the time , and a boiler man may
' lO found who will bo acceptable totho party.

minds regarding the rice presidency , " said
Knight. "It looks like Thurman would be
the man. If he Is a candidate I suppose Wis
consin Is for him. The only objection Is his

look California over carefully first , where wo
need strength. "
"How about ex-Governor Stoncmanl"
"Ho would not do , ho is physically too
feeble now. "
"Do you think you con carry Wisconsin ! "
"No , the democrats are In the minority. It
is the labor vote that holds the balance of

the democrats nnd Iho labor party. On a
fusion the republicans would bo defeated. "
"I am carrying a lightning rod myself , "
said Mayor Ames of Minneapolis , chairman
of the Minnesota delegation , when ques

IIALSTEA1VS VIEWS.
Ho ThlnlcH Sherman the Strongest of
Kepuhllonii Candidates.
NEW \OIIK , Juno2. Hon. Murat Halstcad
Is In the city. In an interview with a World
reporter ho said : Depew Is very popular. "I
presume there Isno doubt of his ability to carry
New York , \vlueli is a gre.it point to begin
with. The question to bo considered in Ills
candidacy Is whether the sins of all the rail
roads of the country shall bo visited uK | > n
him , I don't know that the business men of
New York who are for Dcpow know Iho feel
ing which prevails with the agriculturists of
the west against the railroad intlucnce. I
think Senator Sherman will be the candidate.
Ho will go Into Iho convention with over
three hundred voles. Should Sherman not
be nominated , I think the ticket will bo Harrison
risen , of Indiana , nnd William Walter
Phclps , of New Jersey. They represent the
states which they can carry and which
Blaine lost In 1884. "
An Klntcd Prohihltloniat.
KANSAS CITY , Juno 2. [ Special Telegram
to TIIK Bun. ] Dr. John A. Brooks , the nom
inee of the prohibition party for vice presi
dent , returned from the Indianapolis conven
tion this morning. When questioned ns to
the convention and his nomination he said :
"Our gathering was a grand and Imposing af
fair , the most enthusiastic of any in Iho his
tory of our party. There wcro a thousand
delegates nnd an equal number of alternates ,
many of whom wcro among the best and
most prominent citizens and politi
cians of the country. Colonel George
W. Bain , of Kentucky , and John
Tanner , of Alabama , were both prominently
mentioned for the vice presidency , and had
they not positively withdrawn their names
from the convention I never would have con
sented to my nomination. I expect to spend
a good deal of time belwccn now and election
on the stump in different parts of the coun
try. I believe the party has greatly aug
mented its strength and will poll n
largely increased vole over that of 18S4.
Every indication would scorn to point that
way. Wo have a party organization now in
about half the counties of this state , but
stops will bo taken at once to organize the
other counties and In a short time wo shall
have the straight prohibition ticket all over
the state. In no case will the prohibitionists
combine with either of tlio old parties. "

few minutes later with another hundred

The Burlington carried about the same num
ber. The Colorado delegation is headed bj
Hon. T. M. Patterson , and is solid for Cleveland -

touching upon his failure toievlow Wednes

President Grover Cleveland. Hewitt said
to-day to several reporters : "Tho statement
that 1 am in a disgruntled state toward Mr.

I was not a candidate for any cabinet office

Lumber furnished Ihe topic for discussion
n the house to-day , as it has nearly nil of the
week. No progress was made and no vote
laken , except on the various amendments of
fered. There were hundreds of lllllo speeches
and a rapid crossfire of words kept up all the
afternoon. Sunset Cox , In replying to a
strong appeal by Mr. Burrows , of Michigan ,
In favor of protection to the forests , created
a good deal of amusement and Interest by
leaving his scat and moving around on the
republican side nnd appealing alternately In
imlhcllc'and humorous tones to Ihe repub
licans to give the people free clothes-pins ,
washboards , sawbucks , and lumber for slidl-
lerlng the human family. Ho made n very
funny speech , nnd sllrred up several extreme
protection observations. There hnvo been
over a hundred amendments offered to the
lumber schedule , and unless something is
done to shut off I ho procedure lumber will not
bo pajsod over for some days yet. Chair
man Mills says ho will lot the free-
und-casy debate continue for ten days or two
weeks , when the democrats propose to have
nn amendment to the rules adopted whereby
the chair can suppress all kinds of dllalory
motions , cut out extraneous propositions and
debute , and boll the work lo Iho lowest
point. Ho declares a vote must bo taken on
Iho bill within .six weeks , and that if some
thing is not done they will bo no nearer the
finish next September than at present. He
acknowledges that he expected most of the
debate to be had on free lumber and free
wool , but that the outlook indicates a pro
longed wrangle over almost every material
proposllion in Iho bill.
FAILING AI'MIOI'IIIATIOSS.
Senator Allison , who is chairman of tlio
committee on appiopriations , said this after
noon that at least a half-do/en appropriation
bills would remain unfinished at the expira
tion of the present fiscal year , nnd that It
would be necessary to adopt joint resolutions
continuing the present appropriations if there
Is avoided a period when the governor has no
monny to moot its current obligations. The
legislative , executive nnd judicial appropria
tion bill , which has been before the house for
a couple of weeks , and is pending there al
most completed , will require two weeks time
for consideration before the senate commit
tee on appropriations , and then It will elicit
two weeks debate. When it comes up in the
senate for action. The senate will undoubt
edly move a number of amendments , which
will require considerable time on Iho part of
Ihe conference committee , and the prospects
are thai Ihfs bill will not bo roadv to go to the
president for his signature unlll a way inlo
July. The sundry civil , Ihe naval and ono or
two other important appropriation bills will
be. left over at the end of the month. Allot
Ihls delay is duo lo the failure on Iho part of

n consideration of having n longer nose than

"That half dollar. " said "
. Jerry , "lim ,
gene to Smyrna on a merchantman , and '
I will tell you how it happened. I went
to a hotel to got my dinner , and ns I sat
down at the table I saw a man silling
oppoiito mo whogn/.ed at me with what
I took to bo n un indolent blare. When
T gel a good look at him I forgot my do-
formily and immediately reached my
liaiid neroh- , the table and said :
" 'Shako 1 believe I
, neighbor , owe
voiioOc. " '
'
" 'How's thalV " s.iid he.
" 'Well ' I "I have made
, says , iv vow
that if I-evor mot a man who had a
longer nose than T have I would uivo
him 50 cents , providing he would do the
MI mo when ho mot. a man whoso no-o
discounted his. ' At once the whole
dining-room was in an uproar of
laughter , and the stranger said : 'It's a
bargain. ' Pulling.out his note-book he
wrote the receipt iind I gave him CO
cents. I afterward learned thai ho was
cnplnin of a packcl ship oulward bound
for Smyrna , Syria. ' '
After this Jerry had peace- about his
long nose , and the silver half dollar
was taken by Captain Kullurd to
Smyrna. There it was turned over to
an English mate of nn East Indinmnn ,
hound through the Huev canal to Mad
ras. The Knglishiimn curried it for
bovornl years and landed in San 1'Yan- '
ciw'jo , whore ho , having a hard streak
of luck , enlisted in the United Stales
regular army , and went up among the
IlIacKfcot Indians , near Fort Honlon ,
where ho was made prisoner.
After being tortured in every con
ceivable way by the Indians Ihoy cut oil1
his nose and sot him at liberty. Ho
linnlly drifted to Hoslon , anil as ho was
walking ono day on Washington street
whom should ho moot but .lorry. Hav

Thn Murray Mutilation.
CIIICAOO , Juno 3. [ Special Telegram to
TUB Bur. . ] Robert H. Boll , who cut oil
George 1C. Murrny'scar , was caught to-night.
The motive for the mayhem , according to
the police , Is Jealousy. Murry nnd MM.
Hell , v/ho Is n very handsome woman , were
very friendly , hml gone together to the thea
tres , parties and outdriving. Hell had be
come furiously Jealous nnd gave It out that ho
was going to kill Murray on sight. Murray
went to see Lawyer .Tudah about It and was
advised to get out a peace warrant , but ho
didn't. Yesterday ho called to see Mr.
Judali again but found him out. It was
while writing u note to the attorney In the
cigar store In the Adam's express building
that Hell stepped up to him , pulled his car
tiiunt with his left hand and deftly sliced off
the member , marking the man for
life. The penalty for mayhem Is
twenty years in the penitentiary. Mr.
Murray was seen this afternoon In his room
at the Hotel Grace. Ho Is a stout man of
full habit , with dark hair , white at the close
ly trimmed sides of his head , and sprinkled
with gray in the foretop. His mustache is
grav.
"Mrs. Hell and I , " ho said , ' 'wcro friends
when she was a little girl. We drifted apart
nnd I didn't sec her till about two months
ago , when I met her on the street. I called
upon her at her house , and twice wo had
luncheon together. I met her porlm ) s half a
dozen times. 1 swear that thuro wan noth
ing criminal or dishonorable between us. I
will take the most solemn oath on that.
Well , Hell came around to the onico and
rained a terrible row and woto letters to my
wife and her father. I thought there was u
tendency to blackmail in them. Ho
was very anxious to have my wife
get a divoice from me. I finally telegraphed
her to incut him and hear what lie had to Bay.
She cnmo on from Iowa and saw him. She
refused to bollevo that I had been untrue.
Yesterday ho met mo on the street and de
manded that I should go with him to see his
brother. I told him that I'd see him or his
brother , but I wouldn't KO alone with those
two men. Ho said : 'You've got to KO or
I'll shoot you. ' 1 told him he might shoot.
I was going to liavo u friend , and we went
into tint Adams express building after Mr.
Judah. 'Do you have to go up In the elo-
vatorC he asked. I told him 1 did. 'Well ,
you're not { , oi"K to E'VO ' me the slip that
way , ' said ho. Well , I got a card and was
writing a note , when 1 heard a grind
ing , crashing no'so ' in my car. I
turned to see what it was
and I saw him running out.
Then I felt the pain and the blood
began to spurt. I'd lots rather have been
shot than mutilated in this sneaking wav.
An Apache couldn't have done worse. If
they cxteli tills fellow I'll put h.m through to
the fullest extent of the law.
Mr. Murray Is general traveling agent for
a well known corset manufacturing firm.

a justice hold him in $1,000 bond for his hoar-
ing. Ho promptly furnished bonds. Mur
ray , in spite of liib alleged intention to vigor
ously piosocute the luatter , had no hand in
the arrest and the action of the police in
swearing out the warrant was entirely inde
pendent of him. The lieutenant at head-
( juartors said whatever Murray's intentions
were , it was a case that the police could not
nfloi d to overlook. If Murray prosecutes , all
ripht ; if not , the police have done their part.
Hell's friends , who bailed him , are unanimous
In upholding him and saying Munay has

THE ARMY OF MOROCCO.
Soldiots Who Know How to Kltfht untl
Ijlvc on Next to Nothlna.
Illustrated London News : The army
ib divided into two prinrip.il parts cor
responding to our regular- , and niilithi.
The iir.it , the Askari , is infantry , and
is by far the smartest in the service , us
thu drilling of these troops falls to
Kaid Maclean , an Englishman , or
wilier a Scotchman , who loft the Brit
ish army for Iho service of the sultan
and who fills the post of iiislruclor-gen-
oral of the forces. Nothing could oxcoud
the pains and trouble that JCaid Mnoloaii
has taken with his men , who , when ho
arrived , were little more than a band
of unruly robbers , but who now go
through iheir drills with n smartness
that would do credit ti an Kuropoan
army. Kaid McLean has had many
things against him at court , hut ho has
overcome both jealousy and faimtncisiii ,
mid is not only beloved by his. soldiers ,
hut honored by the emperor
with his full confidence- . Living
at Morocco or Fo/ . according to the
movements of the sultan , Kaid Maclean
has entirely given himself up to his
tn l : with untiring /oal.and it is owing
to him , and to him alone , that Morocco
can boast an army that in ease of war
would be able to light at all , for not
only has ho instructed thorn in their
drill , but ho has persuaded the sultan
to arm a great proportion of his troops
with Mnrtini-Ilonry rillcs , and also
changed their uniform from the pictur
esque but cumbersome hulk and julah tea
a sort of zouiiva dross of .scarlet and
blue. For the last two years Kaid
Maclean lias been helped in his arduous
task by his brother. Captain Alan
Maclean , whoso particular duty at pies-
ontistho transport department and n
small body of regular cavalry , which up
to his arrival was in a. shocking condi
tion.
tion.The
The second division of tliu army , Kaid
Maclean ifa not responsible for the
mahnsni or cavalry ; and in seeing the
two divisions of the army together , onu
cnnnol but appreciate the immense
work Unit has been done for the in
fantry ; for the cavalry , armed with
Winchester re puntlngrillos irregulars ,
with n vengoaneo iiro in about as
wild a fiUUo of barbarity us could
well bo imagined. They correspond , as
[ mentioned above , to our militia , and ,
like them , are only called out upon
necessity. Another part of the army
that might almost bo said to form a division
vision- are the bokhari , or black body
guard of tlio sultan , As to the numbers
of those forces , they are xnnu'Wlmt un
certain , for , though probably at a time
of peace they number thirty or forty
thousand , yet in a case of a war of any
magniludo there is little doubt that
fcomo hundred thousand men could bo
put in the Held. ThuUtho soldiers can
tight well nobody doubts , for in the
Spanish war of IKo'J they worked with
suuh desperation that for some months
the actual result of the war was doubt
ful , though linnlly disorganized ns they
wcro ut that time , and only armed with
flintlocks of their own munufncture.they
had to give way to superior force and
power. Their pay is miserable , nnd
moro so , because they often go without
it. A foot boldior gets-or is supposed
to get four okous a day , or not quite
sixpence , out of which ho has to house
unit feed himself. A cavalry soldier u

JENNY LINO'S TRIUMPH.
How She Cnmo , Snw nnd Conquered
St. Louis People.
\Vyman hall has long sltico disap
peared , says the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch : The recent death of Dr. Kd-
ward Wyman recalls to the -memory of
many old citizens the building that was
situated just west of the present loca
tion of the granite building , which for
years was a famous place in the initials
nf St. Louis , as in the second story was
located the only largo hall of which the
city could boast until the erection ot the
Mercantile Library building.
During 1840 and 1850 a number of on-
Icrtainmcnts were given in Wynmn'a
liall , but the spring of 18-51 was lit
Llmo of glory. Knrly in February of
that year St. Louis was Hooded with
.argo posters nnd small handbills an
nouncing the arrival In the city of
Jenny Lind , the famous "Swedish
Nightingale , " who at that time was on
tier triumphant tour through the coun
try under the management of the great
showman , Phincas T. Barnum.
Mr. Bnrnnm'B advance agent , after
unking a careful inspection of all the
Jicntres then in existence , decided that
Wynmn'a hull was the only suitable
| ) hico in which to glvo the concert , and
engaged the hall for thrco evenings ,
paying what was then considered the
enormous mini of 31oOO us rent , in
order to accommodate ns many auditors
is possible , n temporary gallery was
erected , capable of sealing' some f > 00
peoplo.
lenny Li ml was announced lo appear
on March 18 , and two days before that
iimo Mr. Barnum arrived in the city ,
.odglng at the old city hotel at that time
topt by Mr. Thoron Barnum. It had
jcen determined to lix the price of
tickets atj $5 , and to bell the choice of
seats at auction. On the morning of
the 17th of March an immense crowd
gathered at the auction room , cotn-
[ irising among its number nearly all the
.ending . cill/.ons of St. Louis. So great
with the throng that only n small portion
tion of those in attendance could obtain
iidmission to the room , and it was do
sided lo charge an admission fee of len
cents , the proceeds to bo devoted to
charitable purposes.
P. T. Barnum took the rostrum , nnd
lifter expatiating upon the great treat
in .store for St. Louis nnd letting fall u
liint Hint unless Halisfactory results at
tended the auction Jennie Lind would
not sing , olTered the souls for wile.
The competition for first choice was
very keen. Mr. Samuel Johnson , at
that time the most fashionable hatter
in the city , bid as high us $100 , but re
tired from the contest when a-i Italian
merchant , doing business on Second
street , bid $150 , thereby securing llrst
choice. Mr. Johtibon secured second
choice , paying $100 for thu privilege.
Half , n do/on seats sold at n premium of
$7o some fifteen or twenty at50 , n largo
number at $20 , while scarcely n sent
sold for leas than $5 in addition to the
price of the tickel.
On Ihe night of the concert the hall
wns packed with the moat fashionable
uidiciico ever assembled in St. Louis.
For squares about the hull the streets
wore jammed with nn attonlivc thronp ,
anxious to catch at least u few notes of
the voice of the Swedish Niirhtingalc.
On Muroh 120 Jonnv Lind gave a second
concert , on the 22d a third , and on the
2 ( > th , by special request , a fourth.
On the morning of the 27th , just he-
fore her departure , she sent n check for
$2,000 to Luther M. Kennett , mayor of
the city , lo be dovoled lo charitable
purposes. The entire city was wild
with enthusiasm over the Scandinavian
.siugcn She wnfl made an honorary
member of the Polyhyimiian sociely ,
and wns given u reception such us hns
never before or since been accorded lo
any binger in thin city.

porlencool'n Traveler in Morocco.
The principal figure among the wash
ers was a comely young woman of per
haps twenty , says a writer in the Boston
Transcript , with a bright , intelligent
face and a form that could not bo criti
cised , and as sins swung her lithe body
around I could not but fancy her in pink
silk tights and satin sleepers. Jacob
selected this young person to exorcise
bi > , orientnl imaginations upon by tell
ing her tall yarns about my importance ,
and I soon found myself in for more at
tention than a man of retiring tastes
know what to do with. It was all right
when she felt of my boots to see what
they were made of , and by a determined
olTort of the will I kept quiet when she
took my hat off and ran her lingers
through my hair , for a while , of course ,
I did not like it at all , at the same time
I was afraid of lacerating the feelings
of this tender daughter of the desert ,
and submitted , but when she found 1
had pockets and commenced to go
through them to see what they con
tained 1 felt the time had come for mete
to toll her there was only ono woman in
the world who had a right to go through
my pockets for keeps , and so I tried to
change the subject. Then she pulled
oil ono of my gloves and put my hand
on her arm to see which was the whitest
and I asked Jacob , with n gas ] ) , if he
did not think the mules were loaded
by this time , but ho was so busy miooz-
ing Arabic at a little brown-skinned
maiden that he paid no attention to me.
Then my companion ran over to Jacob
and tallied to him with great animation ,
pointing the meanwhile with many
gesticulations , anil Jacob interprnted
that she hud a small sister of fourteen
whose mnrriago price was a certain portion
tion of silver equal to $10 , and if 1
could nlToril so a high a priced wife I
could havn her.

which I heard this proportion I will
leave my noor innocent follow-imin to

CIIICAOO , Juno 2. [ Special Telegram to

fested In local financial affairs during the

nnd In the aggregate banks were well nup-
piled with loanable funds , and no difficulty
was experienced among borrowers in obtain
ing alt the accommodations called for. Liberal -
oral receipts of grain , especially of corn nnd
oats , Increased the demand from the Interior
for money and shipments were considerably
enlarged. In turn , this 1ms Improved collec
tions In some districts , nnd city merchants
have succeeded in enlarging their bank bal
ances to some extent. The speculative trade
in grain and provisions has Increased Its do-
maml for money , ns margins have boon called
pretty freely and operators required some as
sistance In paying for property delivered on
June contracts. Farmers are about through
with their spring work in most sections , and
their spare time between now and harycst
will bo employed In forwarding such prodncta
as they may have on hand and for which the
prospect of a bountiful yield la encouraging ,
Consequently bankers look for a fair
demand for money from commission mer
chants in the rccclvingnndshlpplngbranchca
of trade. The lumber Interest presented a
little moro paper for discount , and
merchants wore readily ncconiodated. The
wholesale mcecantlle trade was less urgent
In their demands , yet they required consider
able assistance , of a temporary character.
Kates of Interest wcro quite satisfactory to
borrowoi s and ranged at ? ( $ % per cent on

eastern financial centers money continues
easy nnd borrowers In all branches of trade
are readily accommodated at 1J @ ! 3 ncr cent
on call and 4 > $ @ 0 percent on mercantile time
paper. Advices from abroad were without
material change. Bank balances are well
maintained and borrowers are able to obtain
all the money required for legitimate
