and $57.060. The principal causes which
have led to this decile of rest rve ate now
ending, and further trouble will be obvlatd
by treasury operations. The New York
institutions have added six or S'ven mil
lions public deposits within a week. Only
( about J2o,<H>o.ooo of the new bond issue re
| mains unpaid, and this will be collected in
I installments. On the other hand, gold im
ports received or arrangeil amounted to
$7,000,000, exclusive of Australian consign
ments, and the firm rate prevailing here
has brought considerable cash from sur
rounding cities. Tl’e net loss to the inte
rior last week did not exceed $2,000,000,
wlii.-h is very much under lhe av'-ragc at
' this season, and the shipmnts will continue
small for some time. I', is not a scarcity
of money—that is. a lack of per capita cir
culation—which lias caused the, present
state of affairs, but rather the adjustment
dm. Io temporary treasury- absorptions.
I This factor, happily, is being eliminate*!
f and within the next few weeks will have
disappeared. If there was apprehension
otherwise money would not bo frely offr
ing today in th'princ pal citis under 4 ney
cent. N’e\v York was a dear money mark'd
last week simply because the greatr part
of the work in connection with the new '
loan fell to local banks.

Chicago. September 17.—Heavy clearances ;
at tiie coast today held prices steady in I

ti mber, howev' r, showed a tendency in -
thi. 1 opposite direction, and that becom
ing mote pronounced, it dragged the ac
tive op: ion in its wake. A factor which
helped the market somewhat at the start
was a report that a prominent business ,
man of Ohio, who is now traveling in Rus- i
sia, had written to this i ountry that he i
had b a.ru. d from a Russian oliieial that ,
tiie wheal < rop in the Volga district was
a failure and 80,000,000 busltel.s of wheal
from other parts of Russia would be re
quired to feed tile population of that pro
vince. Tiie rank and file of the specula
tive crowd was like the leav< s of the aspen,
which quiver own when tile air is calm,
and that impel, t itsitit etti ss was shown .

notable one. Crip impairment in August,
not unusual nor unexpected, proves to liavo
been less than leafed, and average con
ditions of leading crops, notably’ wheat,
corn, cotton and potatoes, are oetter loan
one year ago. Operative in inducing the
improved foreign demand for our wheat
and flour peril ips lias been a tendency to
shade early estimates of the world’s wheat
crop this year, some figures being as low
us 2,500,000,669 bushels, which while larg.-d
than last year, is still below that ol 1894.
This, with the low state of the world's
wheat supplies and tiie slower than ex
pected movement from American farmers’
hands to leading mark"!", has increased the
premium on cash wheat, and nervous short
sellers of September delivery have cover
ed with the result of advancing prices.
The continued rise in ocean freight rates is
taken to confirm reports of recent large
export sales.

Tells of Some Letters He Has Recently
Received.
1 GNE FROM AN UNHAPPY MAN
Whose Wife Had Left Him—Another
from n Poor Woman Whose Son
Is in the Army.
"How small of all that Human hearts en
dure.
That pint which kings or laws can cause
or cure."
Dr. Johnson never wrote a sadder truth
than that. It comes home to every man
am! woman and family. Neither kings nor
pre '<l< nts nor k'tvs can give us peace of
mind, good I>< alth or itappiness at hom< .
; nor can they prevent it. Tin y cannot bring
| tl’e rain or the drought or the pestilence
■ nor stop it when it comes. There are
some things in this life so much bigg>-r
i than presidents and governors and laws
te.at we cease to regard all human oppres-
■ sion. When a family is broken up by dis-
I coni or sin or shame. It Is a greater ca
; lamity to them than war is to a nation.
"How very sad and weary is the room
Where love—domestic love—no longer nes
ties;
But smitten by the cruel stroke of doom
It:: corpse lies on the trestles."
What an awful picture Is that! The
corpse of love shrouded and coffined in
the family room, but never buried nor
removed. I was ruminating about this be
cause I have u letter from a disconsolate
man who upbraids me for telling tin: girls
not to marry until they are su: ■ of a
good husband. lie says: “Why not ex
tend your caution to tiie young men, for
my sad exp lienee is that the girls ar"

I boys? I thought that I had made a. itappy
I cl'tolce. lt.it my wife has gone away and
I left mo and the childr. n that she bore to

Well, that is bad. and sad, but it is one

Well, we can spare about tiiat. many. !
but I predict that the exodus will not
come to pass. The typical southern negro I
won’t go anywhere. He had rather stay |
here and be lynched or go to tho chain- 1
gang than go north to tiie yankees or to !
Africa wit It Bishop Turner. The good
negroes around this part. of the ;
country who have families arc '
content, and those who have homes I
around Cartersville wouldn't sell them to I
anybody. They are a curious people. They f
don't like their northern friends, but will I
vote with them ami for them at every elec- |
tion. They claim General Grant as their |
deliverer and you can’t make one of them j
believe that Grant was a slave owner up
to the very day of Lincoln’s proclamation
of freedom.
But still we can hardly do without them,
and I lhad rather have Uncle Sam and his
wife, Aunt Ann, and their children to
work and cook and wash for my family
titan to take my chances with white ser
vants from the north. And so We are
not worrying over the negro problem, l.et
it work out its own solution.
