rather, loans were not large, aa banka re-trlcted the movement. Rate of discount remained at 7 per cent, to depositor, and outside paper was refused There waa fair supply of money In the open market, and business was food. Prime Una paper waa pi iced at 637 per and call loans were liberally negotiated at percent. The market for local securities waa Inactive.

The Lobby still holds the fort at Columbus. It is understood that Deacon Smith overworks his smoke-consumer Sunday nistbts. There Is a distressing; absence of tbe Ohio man In the speculations about the Supreme Court appointment. Mb. Smith should amend his amendment to tbe tubus law so as to prohibit the filling of bottles Saturday night.

Wi prayerfully direct tbe attention of tbe Hon. Mr. Smith, of Noble County, to tbe ungodly Darber-ehopa, which keep open on Sunday. Sherman's three per cent, funding bill is dormant in a Sub-Committee of the House. Are Sskbmam's valuable lungs to be wasted in this manner? GoVETtSOB FosTEB should see Yocmo at once.

He should also "make np" with Senator Shermaw, who is one of Young's political allies. The Smith bill takes Its name from the Representative from Noble Couuty, who Introduced it; not from Deacon Smith, who is going to hold himself in Convention at Columbus to advocate its passage. "NKVtR destroy receipts," saya the careful man In the play. "Never destroy letters," says tbe careful man in politics. Particularly careful and far-seeing politicians do not write letters; but they are very scarce.

If Tom Young could' be positively assured of a United States Senate rship be might allow Amor Smith to proceed Con-irrestward in peace; bat the election for House will be more than a year In ad vance ol tbe Senatorial election. Late information points to the probability that the Poxd bilL will -pass the Tbe Smith bill has not so much hope in tbe Senate. Its advocates harve recognized ita weakneaa by Inaugurating an extraordinary movement in iU favor. It the Temperance people should find that the Pond bill had overthrown the law against selling liquor to be drank on the premises where sold, on any day in the week, there would be a commotion in which Mr. Pond would be conspicuously interested.

What has become of the project to pave Fourth street with the Belgian pavement? The streets of tbe city are in a terrible con dition, many of them almost unfit for traf fic. If private was to lead the way, the city authorities might folio with advantage to all concerned. "With a blare of brazen instruments the people of Ohio were repeatedly told last year that the last Republican Legislature bad saved hundreds of thousands of dol lars. Our Columbus correspondent shows that these savings have melted away in the presence of the deficiencies, which amount to $516,000. It now looks though there would not be money enongh an mediate to meet the appropriations.

The Sinking Fund will have to be raided again. asss The. Democratic party of this city seems to be on the eve of disorganization. The Enquires published Sunday a call signed by twelve persons for a Democratic Mass Convention at Music Hall on tbe 23d We publish this mornins a call signed by twenty-four Democratic Ex ecu-' live Committeemen for a meeting of that body on Wednesday evening. The call is couched In, respectful language, and ig- nores, or rather fails to notice; the action 01 ine iweive.

It has but one object In view, and that Is the beat interests of the Democratio party, but if this breach continues to widen, there will be two tickets in the field and an overwhelming Kepublioan victory in April. a Mb.

What Mr. Gopxd did yesterday should Surprise nobody. 'He was found sustaining the market; instead of breaking it. It will soon be time for those whose practico it is to abuse him to offer some subaUntiatiotv for their course, or retire from the field of criticism. Mr.

Las week witnessed an improvement in general trade throughout the United States ln spite of the disaster and distress caused by floods in the South-west. Ths gala tailed to bring the total tip to the general average at this time last year, but- an ad-i vance is preferable, even though failing to meet the hopes of the most sanguine. In ths Eastern markets' Baltimore is thc only 1 important at -which the volume of trade waa not materially increased. New York, Boston and Philadelphia all recorded increased sales. The activity noted in the North-west last week continues, andChi- eago still leads in the list of cities having the beat trade in wholesale lines.

It is easy to see why St. Louis, Louisville, Mem- P11 o4 New Orleans have not done more business when tbe overflow, and attendant disaster are considered. But it' is gratify. thAt at siUaa ''t Xox- folk, Savannah and An- igusta, where commerce baa been stag nated Tor two months, new life has been Infused, and that something like spring trade- vitality Is, noted. The weather for seven days past has been snob as to improve the country roads, and tbe influx of farmers trading at tbe small towns is tbe primary cause of the good business doing.

This has also resulted in collections of debts past due, and has in other ways vitalized business. In addition to these memoranda concerning' material progress, the general financial situation has been, such aa to ameliorate the condition of Bvporta of gold have been interrupted the Bank ot "England has reduced the rate of discount, and the Secre tary of the Treasury has disbursed several millions for called bonds. Thus, tbe money market has. been easy. To be sure.

tbe stock market has exhibited the conven tional tendency toward lower and lower levels; but the public have practically discontinued the practice of expect ing a "boom in stocks' after each fresh charge of the bears. At the present time there exists no belief aa to where the turning point in stock-raiding will be fonnd. The thermometer of the stock market, the Vanderbiits, in ths instance of-Lake: Shore, having figured as tbe toy of a clique with manlptOltlbn solely in view, all standards are withdrawn. The coal stocks, too, have suffered from tbe charge of the Wall street heavy brigade. Now let Western Union look out for itself.

Danville and Louisville and Nashville, once favorites, now go for naught. In abort, the "short interest" has its dsy. Tbe high and dry Investment stocks will yet come into line and take their share. Then, and not till then, will the ebbset in. On Tuesday last reference was made in these columns to the increase in Imports and falling off in exports of merchandise during January as compared with that month one year ago.

Since that several leading journals have commented thereon, and in most instances have drawn the conclusion that it is due to the. fact bat tbe United States is buying luxuries in abundance while holding staple products for higher prices. As to tbe goods held at home for sale abroad, there is no ropm to doubt-that tbe general belief is based on facts. As to the purchases abroad by American importers, the conclusion reached is not substantiated by investiga tion. At all events, the receipts at the port of New York do not confirm the impression that we are purchasing luxuries suffi ciently to account for tbe excess 'of im ports.

Through tbe courtesy of the Collector of that port the Ekquikkr has been placed in possession of tbe particulars. Inasmuch as New York ex ports and im ports form so iarsre a rrotor- tlon of the whole amount of merchandise and staple products sent out of and received in this country, the exhibit at that port may be, regarded as a fair exponent of tbe character of the total foreign shipment and receipts. During January last the value of imports at New York, over and above the same during January, 1881, of goods which may be classed as luxuries, were as follows Beer Js M.00O Precious stones 80.000 Fancy goods. 2UO.00O Silks ,.1,048.00) Fruit. MO.00O Spices M.O0O 653.0U0 Musical lns'ts 40,000 45,000 Pinu 70.000 Perfumery 28,000 Watch es Spirit.

S5.622.000 This showing does not warrant the statement that the bulk of our excess of imports is due to purchases of luxuries. And, for that matter, the increase of im ports may hardly be classed as a vital in Jury.

It calls for larger payments abroad, to be sure. But, in satisfaction thereof, we may send money if we insist "upon it; but mercnanaise, cotton and grain if we wish to. Our failure to do so lies with ourselves.

The turmoil and excitement being manifested among the Democrats of this city indicate that tbe organization is a very lively corpse The call of the "twelve Democratic apostles," beaded by Hon.

Iaaae Millar, for a mass Convention at Mnale Hall, has created mneb ill-feellngand harsh talk. It Is claimed by those opposed to the "plan," and their name is legion, that there waa not a majority of tbe Executive Committee present, and the Committee ot Twelve Is an illegal and unauthorized body, without any power to set or bind any body. An EitquiaKB reporter circulated extensively yesterday among all classes of Democrats, and found etna out of every ten Democrats openly opposed to the new departure, or fearful that It waa aa Ill-advised step. Colonel Jerry Kiersted expressed the almost universal sentiment when be said: "I am fearful auch a Convention as is proposed la end can result In nothing bnt a dlsorganiaed mob. There are evils In local polities that I wonld like to see cured, but this step can only mean party disorganization." hon.

Naw Tom, March 18. Mr. Max Maretsek. lately of Cincinnati, is in town. In speaking this evening of his retirement from the di rectorship of the Cincinnati College ot Music, and consequently from tbe city, be said that it waa due to the fact tbat tbe person whose business It was to attend tbs financial management of the College had tbe misfortune to interfere with its artlstle eondset and aflslrs.

It was farther ths misfortune of thst person to be totally Ignorant of art. The Cin cinnati College, Mr. Maretsek went on. at tempted to Imitate the Musical College of Paris, but baa neither the force nor tbe will, as at preeeuT managed, to accomplish any thing ilka the results reached by the Parisian College. Mr.

Maretsek Is of the opinion that, in spite of all the talk about pork-packing and that sort of business indulged in about Cincinnati, there are some worthy people who are capable ef appreciating art; bat the person who controls their Musical Collegabas not tbe latter quality. He "seeks to rule by which principle, though It may be successful in politic, is a dead failure in musical culture. "I believe. said Mr. Maretzek.

that the eighteen months I spent aa Director ef the College, under tha attempted management of Ueorge Ward Nichols, have stoned for all the Ins of a long life, and I have no longer any rears. or purgatory. His management has re setted In the resignation, of two Directors and seventeen Professors In the three years' existence of the Tbe College ia well endowed, but Mr. Nichols wants to run it all his own way. If any trouble is reported the stockholders are too bony te Investigate, aad so take Mr.

Nichols'' versions for the faela. He can not tolerate any one who is his superior in educsticn or culture, snd so he is continually opposing every one. I am sorry to say it, hut It is my honest opinion tbat he will not stab any one behind his back, but will hi re some one else to do As con dueled st present the College of Music of Cincinnati ean not accomplish ths object for which It was estab All this talk about Cincinnati being the musical center of America is only so much soft soap Mr. Nichols rtfbs about the mouths of the people there." eeovlllc'e Lee I are CTSIeagew WKCIAt.

It might bave been that tneir stomachs were a inde out of Order, but they piled up great Democratic names on the highest aiielf in the political clteet with astonishing rapidity.
