GUILTY AS CHARGED. Official Reports Stigmatize the Carrousels as Vile. SUSTAIN THE INTER OCEAN. Chief McClaughry to Close the Places at Once. Will First Listen to Some Gentle Caterwauling from Their Proprietors, AND THEN SHUT 'EM UP.

Chief of Polios McClaughry is now thoroughly convinced that the two oarroaaela on West Madison street are vi'e dens at best, and every charge made by Ths Israa Oceaji against these infamous institutions has been more than substantiated by the official report of Inspector A. S. Boss, made to the Chief yesterday. There oan possibly be no excuse now for permitting these evil resorts to remain open twenty-four hoars longer. Inspector Ross' report consists of the reports of Lieutenant Steele, in whose district the West Side carrousel is located, and Lieutenant Beard, in whose district the "parlor moral merry-go-round is situated.

XJEurxxAxr srasxa says in his report i "It is principally young people who patron ize the place, whose conduct is not always creditable but seldom aggressive enough to cause an arrest Young girls as well as older ones go there frequently unattended by an escort, and meet, form acquaintance, and ride on the merry-go-round with almost any man who is there and takes advantage of the circumstances, and often leave the building with this new acquaintance. "The suggestive remarks and actions of the young men who frequent the place would not ber tolerated by a respectable girL There is no doubt but many young girls have been contaminated by meeting persons of both eex.es there whose reputation is none of the best. "The males and females are not allowed to sit together unless they come together. Ail are now required to pay an admission fee, but girls were admitted free until a few days ago. "Officer Hillier (the police officer stationed inside the place to keep order) gays the carrousel is no place for a -respectable' person, and that he would not allow any member of his family, male or female, to visit the place, as he considers it the hang-out for disreputable characters." tlEUTMAST BKA.BD reports in regard to the "parlor moral" affair between Leavitt street and Oakley avenue: "Complaints more or less serious are con-istantly coming in about the place.

Officers who have been detailed to attend the place, and those who have traveled the posts joining it and also upon which it is located, say young men or boys from 18 to 23 years old who call themselves respectable, and most of whom live at home with their parents, constantly loaf st this place at night for no other purpose than to meet young girls who go there and who are admitted free. "It is a tact that a number of young girls have been ruined through the acquaintances made: at this place." Lieutenant Beard cites these cases, which were reported to his station! J3usie Jeremiah, 17 years of age, arretted Dec. 15 and sent to ths House of the Good Shepherd. Maud Gibbs. 16 years of age, arrested Jan.

S3 and sent to the House of the Good Shepherd. Carrie Guthrie, 15 years of age, arrested Jan. 25 and sent to the Industrial School. He also enclosed a copy of the merry-go-round's bulletin. It is as follows i PARLOE HOKAL AMUSEMENT COMPANY, i Ml and 938 Madison Street.

That is what the police officers who have investigated the matter say about these malodorous, pestiferous dives known as car- rousels and merry-go-rounds, and it corroborates the testimony of a number of reputable citisens of the West Sids, as published in Ths Ijrrsa Oca as.

Not one good thing has yet been said about these places, and nothing is too bad to say about them. Probably the the reports of Lieutenants Steele, and Beard is that ths officers stationed inside the places try to keep order and that the managers promise to run the jilacj more carefully in tHa future. No doubt the nfflnMrs An tvw in keep order, but their- efforts are unavailing. As to the managers promising to do better, no attention should be paid by the authorities to any' such decoys. The managers do not intend to run the places any better, for theyknow that if they did the patronage would be so light that they would lose money.

They have made this promise before, and it is not worth the paper it is written on. XHSPBCTOB BOSS, after he had made his report to-Chief McClaughry, was seen by a reporter for Ths brraa Ocba. "We have left no stone unturned in our efforts to get st the very bottom of this thing. I think ws havs found out all there is in con- section with the carrousels. Certainly we have found enough to warrant the immediate closing of the places.

I can not say Just what the report is, ss it is in the handsof the Chief but I will say that every charge made by Ths Jmi Uckas is substantially true. "hx looking into the matter we went baek to the very beginning of the institutions and everything we could learn goes to prove their harmful nature. We find that they are the rendctvous of disreputable characters, and in more than one instance we found girls who were ruined there. Unquestionably these plaoee have a very bad influence and they should be CHIST Jt'cLAtTOHBT, after be had read the official report on the character of the carrousels, said "The officers who have investigated the matter certainly give the places A 1 inu' cuaracier uiu uie re. Dorts would warrant the clown ir of the places without waiting for further testimony on the part of the citizens.

However, Mr. Sturtevant, ths proprietor of the place near Ashland avenue, was to see me to-day, and he said be would like to be present when the committee from the churches come again, so he can present his side of the ease. "He talked very frankly about the matter, and I do not think that he would stand in the way of publio sentiment if he is convinced that his carrousel is a bad place. He said if charges made by Ths Ihtbb Ockax are true he has been entirely ignorant of the real nature of the place. I shall let him present his side of the question to the committee when it comes again next week.

"This committee, consisting of Mr. GaulL Mr. Osborn, and Mr. Burgess, had a conference with me this morning, and they are going to work immediately to get the signatures and affidavits of persons in the neighborhood of ths carrousels, saying that these places are bad resorts and a nuisance to the community. They asked my advice and I sun-nested that they go ahead with their work, Just ss if I had received no report from the police officers.

"I expect to hear from them early next week, snd I believe that unless something unexpected happens the license of the two places will be revoked." The members of ths committee are well pleased With the result of their conference with Chief McClaughry. They hod an hour's talk with him and got from nim toe pafrs regard to the closing up of the Ashland avenue place last spring to aid thorn in their work this time. MB. OACT.T, TBB CHAIKMAJf, said yesterday afternoon i "We will go ahead in our fight against the carrousels as if the revocation of their license depended entirely on our efforts. I know that the report of the police officers shows the piece up in a bad light bad enough to revoke the license at once.

There should be as little delay as possible in this matter. De ay in such matters is slways dangerous. The police officers have reported that the carrousels are a nuisance and an evil, and their license should be revoked on that testimony alone. It is no more than fair to hear both sides of a question, but what more is to be learned in this case? If Mr. So-and-so snd Mr.

Somebody-clue are each to hate a say, showing why the place should not be dosed up. and how they oan be run properly, the end will never come. "The fsct is, as shown by ths citisens and the officers, these places are disreputable and should be dosed out. "However, if we are to take a hand in closing them up ws are not going to do things by halves. I am busy getting the names of persons who sre willing to make affidavit to whatever facts they know in connection with the places.

These affidavits will be added to the petitions and presented to Chief Mo-ClauKhry. One of the petitions will be signed Sunday by the officials of all the churches interested, and we hope to have everything finished by the first of the week." SECXXTABT OSBOBIT, who is framing the petitions, said "We are confident that the carrousels will be broken up, snd if their license is revoked I do not think it will ever be restored again. We will begin to-morrow to circulate the petitions. One will be signed by residents and property owners in the vicinity of Madison street and Ashland boulevard, another by the residents and property owners in the vicinity of Madison street snd Oakley avenue, and the third by the official boards of the churches whose interests are affected by the West Side carrousel. "The petitioners will set forth that the carrousels are a nuisance, that they are the resort of lewd men and women, that girls meet their ruin in them that girls sre admitted free and that the place are a nuisance to the neighborhood and a menace to the people living there and a detriment to their business.

On these grounds the Chief of Police will be asked to revoke the licenses of the place," Satisfactorily Explained.

OF GARBAGE, The Finance Committee spent an hour yesterday in discussion of the Question of the disposal garbage. Dr. Ware was called in and gave the oominittee a speech upon the subject. He described the operations of the Ryder furnace in use at Pittsburg and Allegheny. That of the former city has been in use three years, burns 100 tons of garbage a day, and is located within 300 feet of the city hall, conclusive evidence, in the Commissioner's estimation, that it could not be a nuisance.

The Allegheny furnace bums eighty tons a day at a cost of $11.50 a day, and each of these furnaces cost $10,000. The Ryder furnace the Commissioner described as burning "pure garbage" to distinguish it from the Engel furaacj in use at De Moines, which, with equal relish, reduces desd horses, dead dogs, and tin cans, as well aspure gnrnage, to aaoes, au wiuumt causing auy uu-pleasant odor. Because of its enormous appetite Dr. Ware stated tliat he preferred the Engel furnace. The system of consuming garbage by evaporation followed in Buffalo the Commissioner did not fancy because of the strong stench caused by it.

Tbo establishment there is outside the city limits, and the local health commissioner said he wouldn't allow it inside the limits because it would be a nuisance. In answer to questions Dr. Ware said it would take four Engel furnaces, at a cost of $10,000 each, two on the West Side and one each on the North and South Sides, to properly care fot Chicago garbage. "How soon- could they be inquired Chairman Cullerton. "The company promises to build them within ninety days after getting the building material on the ground." "Wouldn't it cost more to haul the garbage to these crematories than it does to haul them to the present dumping grounds?" Baked Alderman Vierling.

"I don't see why it should." "Will they burn ashes, too?" put in another inquisitor. "Sn that's the trouble, the ashes must be separated from the garbage. It is done in Buffalo, but there they have daily service, and it is easier to make the householders keep the ashes and garbage, though they had to arrest a few of them at first." During the discussion the condition of the nver snd the possibilities of cleaning it were talked of, and Aldermen Madden, Vierling, and Mahoney were appointed a committee to consult with- Dr. Ware and report on the best method of disposing of garbage, besides investigating the claims of a local company to be able to disinfect the river. Commmioner Ware was authorized te consult With Corporation Counsel Miller, and if it seemed sdvuable have prepared a revised ordinance, more stringent than the one now on the code, requiring all persons to separate their garbage from their ashes and dump it into separate reoeptacles.

The Commissioners decided to recommend the purchase for $22,500 from the John Spry Lumber Company of a piece of land on Ashland avenue, south of Twenty -second street, 100 feet front by 240 feet deep, adjoining the city's water-pipe yard and running back to a slip on the South Fork. There is not room enough in the present yard and additional ground had to be purchased COUNTY The Finance Committee of the County Board yesterday decided to reissue $1,350,000 worth of county bonds falling due May 1, 1892. The total amount due on that date is $1,450,000, to meet which there is in the treasury but The new bonds will bear 4 per cent interest and will be issued in twenty series of $67,500 each. An amount represented by a series will fall due each year, thus wiping out the whole amount in twenty years. The Public Service Commifee yesterday took ud the report of the committee appointed to draw up the rules governing the Board.

The first important change was to take from the President of the Board the power of discharging a county employe without his having recourse to the Board. A provision was made that no presents or emoluments should be received by employes other than their salaries. Appointments by heads of departments will not hereafter have to be passed upon by the Public Service Committee. A bill was presented by the Coroner of $150 for a. chemical analysis of a stomach in the Langgenhajrer case.

This was also referred. Dr. Hoffman, who has had charge of the county sick on the North Side, wrote a letter denying the charge that he allowed a boy to die of neglect. The boy in question lived at No. North Market street.

There were, the doctor wrote, three sick children in that house. Two of them got well snd one died because he refused to go to the hospiial, where he could obtain proper care. The committee on outdoor relief reported that they bad decided to divide the South Side into two districts, divided by Seventy-ninth street. They also reported that they had also decided to discontinue the furnishing of coal to the county poor. In lieu of the coal pro-visions will be issued to the value of the coal.

In this way the stealing of coal from wagons delivering coal to the poor will be stopped and the poor will also be able to buy coal with money now used to buy provisions. In regard to the salaries for the two North Side physicians, Commissioners Skalierup and Stauber, of the committee, made a minority report to the effect that the physician for the division north of Division street should receive $500, while the one south should get $000. The ma-' joriry report was in favor of $500 and $400.. Commissioner -Ballard moved as a substitute that the whole North Side remain under the charge of one physician, and that the pre-ent incumbent. Dr.

Hoffman, be re-elected. This was lost, and the division was made, and the salaries fixed at $500 and $000. Dr. D. H.

Reader was elected for the south division. Land Dr. John S. Clark for the north division. J.

W. Clarke wrote the committee complaining that it was almost impossible to get any service from the South Side county physicians. In the case of a family named Doyle, No. 703 Root street, one child had died from neglect. The letter was referred to the South Side Commissioners.

B. Honig wrote to the committee complaining of the action of the Superintendent of Public Service in canceling his contract for meat. He was given no opportunity, he claimed, to answer to the charge of violating his contract. Had he been given an opportunity he would have brought a "dozen reputable butchers" who would have sworn that his meat was up to contract. -Action was deferred till the board meeting Monday.

--According Commissioner Spencer the chickens furnished at the hospital had the "biggest spurs'' he had ever seen in his life. It is probable that there will be a shaking up of the dry bones among the contractors when the board meets next. Chief Engineer Gielow at Dunning resigned his position yesterday, Mr. Gielow gave as his reason the acceptance of another position. He was, Mr.

Burmeister said, disgusted with the attack made on him by certain Commissioners, and thought he could not afford to continue in the county's employ. PRIVATE STALLS ARB ILLEGAL. Mayor Waahburne yesterday morning revoked the license of D. H. Harris for the saloon at Nc.

157 Michigan avenue. Mayor, in passing the saloon the night before, noticed that heavy, curtains hung in front of the private stalls or drinking-rooms, in violation of the order, he issued revoking Archie Wilson's license for the same place Nov. 17 last that the doors or curtains of all such ptalls be taken do4or arris obeyed the law for a while, but die temptation to restore the curtains was too strong. It is possi ble that the policeman on the at. who winked at the violation, may jMa his star.

BLAMES THE AtifeBRMEN. In regard to the building of structures contrary to the law inside the fire limits" Com-missioner O'Neill says UO ft' every case it has been done on the sttength of a special order by the Council. He say i that when his inspectors attempt to case in court against an offender some alderman comes along and fixes it up. He Is to that exteat powerless, and the city legislators are to that extent law-smashers. When asked to g.ve names the commissioner refused to do so much on mere suspicion that aldermen sold out their assistance in such cases.

SECRETIVE ALDERMEN. The Council committee; to investigate all the questions that have been raised in regard to the work of Con tractor Onderdonk on the four-mile tunnel, met. yesterday morning In the private office of the Commissioner of Public Works. Aldermen Cullerton, Kent, Noble, Roth, and Hepburn, filed into the office, and no news of any moment has succeeded in escaping from that office since. The meeting was secret, and every alderman played sphinx as soon as the' two-hour session was over.

Alderman Cullerton, In speaking of the reason for holding secret the first movement in a publio investigation, said: "We wanted to establish a line of policy. All the other meetings will be open to the public" No information was given as to whether the services of any of the Western Society of Engineers would be required or not; nothing, in fact, but that another meeting would be held this morning at 11 o'clock. EXTENSION OF HOMAN AVENUE. People up in the Thirteenth Ward were very much pleesed when the city won the case with the Illinois Central; establishing the right to cross railroads tracks by the extension of streets. For a long time they have been hoping that Homan avenue would be extended across the tracks of the Northwestern.

1 It was about a year ago that an ordinance was introduced into the Council providing for the opening of that street. Most of the people in that section use the Lake street cars, and if they happen to live anywhere in the district between Kedzie avenue and Garfield boulevard, a tract over a mile in width, they have to get off and walk a mile or so. Between Kedzie avenue and Oarfield boulevard not another street crosses the Northwestern tracks. Homan avenue lies about half way between the above-named thoroughfares, and its opening would vastly improve the value of all the residence property in that section. The Northwestern Railroad Company opposed that ordinance, and When Judge Shep-ard ruled against the application for an injunction, the case was appealed to the Supreme Court, where it is now pending.

The fact that nothing has since been done has made considerable dissatisfaction. "I don't see why the: Uv Department doesn't attend to thisirifttfer'," said a property owner in the interested section yesterday. It looks like neglect of eiverr iJn portant matter. I've tried to get Aldermen Kno'les to make a move in the he doesn't seem to get a clear nn4kirUnding of it. Alderman Roth is for some' reason very inert.

From a political standpoint it's bad policy for them. The man who interests himself and secures the extension of- Homsn avenue across the tracks befote election will he the next Alderman of the 1 hrtenh Ward. rr i CITY AND COUNTX NpTES.

pertinent for an opinion: on the question whether the police department is legally required to take In custody prisoners anested by county constables on Slate warrants and keep them at the -different police stations. The law seems to require constables to take their prisoners to the jail, but frequently as a matter of convenience they leave them at police stations. CUSTOM TAILORS DANCE.

DAYS OFTHE OLD HOE Racalled In Story at the Vehicle Club's Banquet. BACHELORS' ANNUAL HOP. Young; People Hold Merry Carnival at Bournlque's. Mr. and Mrs, Taylor's Dinner Party-Charity Ball Returns-Society Notes.

IMPLEMENT AND VEHICLE CLUB. The Grand Pacific was the scene last night of the first annual banquet of the Chicago Implement end Vehicle Club. Over one hnndred members and friends were present, and the Occasion formed an auspicious beginning for the social part of the club's work. H. C.

Staver, President of the club, presided, and the Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, led the toast list with a speech, in his uual vein, on "The World's Columbian Exposition 5 Its Relation to Agriculture and the Industries Related Thereto." A short reception was held in ths parlors of the hotel before the banquet was served. At 8 an orchestra struck up a grand march and the company was seated in the banquet-room. Mr. Butterworth did not confine himself to the subject assigned him by President Staver.

He talked of the implement industry and the part it had played in taking the drudgery out of the farmer's life. It was a wonder to him, he said, that the world had existed for forty centuries without an effort to relieve tbe hard condition of the tiller of tbe soil by means of improved machinery. Tbe effort had not been made until governments had given to the producer the right to vwn exclusively the machine he produced. In reference to the World's Fair, Mr. Butterworth said it had no higher purpose than to educate tbe people.

Many a genius would visit tbe exposition and receive there ideas that would enable him to produce great results. Ibe idea that our multiplied industries sre due solely to competition wss not true. They were due to the inventive genius of the people, snd the record of the Patent Office attested tbe fact. He condemned the. fact that seemed so prevalent, snd which led certoia classes to rave over art.

It was said to ba an evidence of high civilization, but he instanced Greece snd Rome ss examples of degeneracy and art existing together. The useful was what the world needed. C. W. Marsh gave an interesting scoount of a trial of the first harvester msde in Hungary in 1806, and then told of "early days in tbe implement trade," the happy old days of the the rake, the scythe, and the cradle.

Willxrd A. Smith spoke to the subject, "Tbe World on snd G. H. Burrows discussed the relations between the implement man and the buggy man. The following were present, accompanied by ladies: J.

West ChleaM Stret Kallwmr Xansueyes Have BWoreasiaJ MjqTmle. The second grand prise masquerade given by the West Chicago Street Railway Employes' Benevolent Association, Lodge No. 1, blazed out last night at Battery D. About a thousand people, marched to the music of the Zouave Band around tbe big hall at 10:30 o'clock, up and down and zigzag, while tbe band made frequent expeditions into the neighboring streets in order to increase the attendance. Some twenty prizes were offered for the most striking costumes, and tbe offer brought out some that eou'd have knocked a person down a block away.

The announcements set forth tbe fact that "a masque carnival is for old and young, and the sight is never to be forgotten." That is true. A bould lad was carried, always and all, upon the arms of two other Conne-mara men one clown on another's back made the rounds; there was a hod-carrier and a fine assortment of terriers, with hosts of Indians whose furs made them mightily uncomfortable. The women did not have this beauty enhanced to any marked degree by the domino mssks they affected. Among them were the Queen of the Night, of course, with other sovereigns, of the Harvest, of the May, etc. There is no doubt about their having had a good time far ail that.

There wai a Grand Midnight March of the Merry Men, where the grotesque had full swing. The men preferred that type apparently, many of them putting on feminine attire to get a better effect. The dancing was uniformly good, and nothing wa; neglected. The band pumped and tooted until they were tired out and the drums were beaten black and blue without in the least diminishing the ardor of the reveler. The conjunction of Jupiter and Venus had no deleterious effect upon the aasenjblage, though the end of the world might have come snd gone without much effect, so engrossed were tbe maaqueraders in having a good time.

Before the night was out fully 2.0U0 persons had entered the hall, and the treasury of the benevolent association is richer by many dollars. Tbe prizes were given out after the grand parade, when, according to tbe announcement, "The whole was a mass of dazzling splendor." The general effect was tnat of a kaleidoscope with delirium tremens. Danoers glided and shot at all sorts of angles every which wsy. Costumes sparkling with gilt and tinsel scintillated in the glare of the electric lights. The balconies were crowded with eager spectators, and as near as wai consonant with safety more thronged near (he danoers, seeking to recognize friends beneath the dominos and masks.

CREAM CITY NOTES. Peculiar Hone-atvallng Case The Ctt Hall Fight May Battels the Courts. XL A UK IK, Feb. 5. Special Tele gram.

In the United states District Uourt a rather remarkable case, that of James Arm strong, charged with horse-stealing, resulted in a verdict of guilty. Armstrong is a rich farmer living near the Menomonee reserva tion. The case grows out of a horse trade made with John Latender over a year ago. Latender is a Frenchman who married a Menomonee squaw and settled on the reservation. A year ago last fall Armstrong sold him a team of horses for $275 and took in payment an mare, three Indian ponies, and a note for $110, secured by a chattel mortgage on the team of horses.

When tbe no'e came due it was not paid, and as Latender had disposed of the team, Armstrong took a colt and an old harness in liquidation of the debt. The City Hall fight, in which Architect Cobb, of Chicago, is interested, is likely to be taken into court before it is finally ssttled. If the Koch plan is adopted by the Common Council, as it is now conceded is probable, the other architects will serve an injunction on tbe city. Such an injunction can be sustained in court by bringing in experts to show that tbe building can not be eree'ed according to the Koch plan for $690,000. The advertisement issued by the Board of Public Woiks distinctly stated that any plan t-ub-mitted which would cost over $680,000 to erect would not be considered.

Hence it will be held that the Koch plan should never have been considered. It was remarked this morning that Koch's building could not be erected for $1,000,000. Shailer k. Schmglau, of Chicago, the water intake contractors, are having no end of trouble here. At midnight last night from some unknown cause, the large Knowles pump on the float stopped and could not be started again.

Five feet of the tunnel had then been pumped out, and preparations were being commenced to get the stationary pump at the bottom of the shaft ready for operation. The float on which tbe Knowles pump is located is no longer afloat, on account of one side of it being chopped off a few days sgo when the fallen pipe was removed. The result is that there sre now two pumps covered with water at the bottom of the shaft, which is again full of water. A dispatch from Aspen, states that a new strike of ore has been made at the Mollie Gibson silver mine and that the ore yields $10,000 to the ton. There is not less thsa $300,000 of Milwaukee capital invested in the Moilie Gibson stock.

NW Yobs, Feb. 5. Special Telegram. There was a spirit of animation in a portion of the share list at the opening of business on the Stock Exchange to-day, but succeeded by a considerable falling off and sagging alt around. The great feature of the London buying was the taking of about $800,000 Atchison incomes which attracted much attention, in view of the bearish feeling on this side.

Edison General Electric was a eonspicuouo figure from announcement a basis of consolidation between it and the Thom son-Houston Electric Company bad been It is understood that a new oopo ra tion will absorb tbe two old companies. After the opening advance Edison fell off but later moved up 1J. Atchison was the stock to suffer the most in the general marking down of quotations. As ti dsy wore along Chicago for the first time in a week or more sent favorable telegram in regard to Distilling and Cattle Feeding, which led to an active buying movement. rending tbe stock up from toe lowest amid much excitement.

CHICAGO GAS likewise improved about a point. These movements, in connection with a rise of a point in Western Union, had a good ef-' feet on the leading railways, which rallied fractionally. Lackawanna suddenly loomed) into prominenee and advanced 2 from the lowest of the dsy and i from yesterdsy'e final sales. Reading and the other coolers were strong in sympathy. Few variations of moment were recorded by the specialties, fluctuations being compassed within the fractions.

Up to 2 o'clock the market wss slightly irregular, but for tbe most part steady, with advances here and -there. The feature of the late afternoon dealing was the strength and activity of th coal stocks. Around delivery hour Delaware and -Hudson recorded an advance of over last night; Lackawanna, 11 Jersey Central, 2, and Reading The rise in these properties was accelerated by the rumor from Philadelphia that capitalists friendly to Reeding had bought a large block of Jersey Central stock. The net result of the day's trading outside of tbe industrials, the coalers, and Louisville and Nashville, ws a decline of nearly a point in Atchison and until losses in a number of other stocks. Some shares, however, in -eluding Western Union, Northern Paciflc preferred.

Northern, Rock Island, and New England were better. Money, 2 per cenk BRADSTREET ON FINANCES. New Yoke, Feb. 5. Special Telegram.

Bradstrett't Journal say "The burden of complaint in the New York loan market is at present that the existing de mand for funds is entirely inadequate to provide employment for the enormous and increasing amount of idle money now available for the purposes of ths market.

"The rise in exchange rates has attained proportions which justify a skkious view or th srrcaTios. In view of our enormous commercial export -the current advance of rates may not alto- gether justify apprehensions of gold shipments setting in, but the anomalous nature of the situation would certainly show that the disturbed financial conditions en the continent, coupled with ths persistent foreign sell.
