There isa fair demand outside this charmed circle, but awents resolutely shut their eyes and ignore fis existence. 1t is very true that capitalists have been badly utten on past investments, snd the amount of foreclosure sales is some excuse for their present cxcessive caution. As the month closes payments are said o be improving. aund money is flowing in very satisfactorily. Inter- est rates continue as at the date of last state- statement. A raitroad mortgaze of £7,000,000 increased ihie figures for September. The amount of e Fitimate loans during the morth is the smallest of any month of tie year 5o far.

As a rule, small houses are sobadly built that much of the space they cecuy is wasted, to say nothing of neclect of ventilation and 'proper lizhting, Some houses ha centiy _been built in this cl[lrv on 166 feer lots on” Ogden avenue facing Union Square, for Messts, B.

Be- yond this is 1 hall extending at a right-angle with the front ball -entirely across the hous T this hall are the stairw1ys to the wnper oor and basement. Beyend tuis hall is the dining- roum, twelve by fifteen feet, taking the entire vilth aud having a door into the kitchen, which is ten by twenty feet. except the pantry off by this door. . A servant’s staircase leads up and down from the rear of the Kitchen. The cham- bersare nearly ideotieal in arranzement with the jower part.of the bouse, excepting that the arca over the kitcuea divided into two bed- rovms. Thus there is on the sccond fluor a fine parlor chamher. spacious family bed- room, and two smatler bed-rooms. By the side of the seeon? room named rans a hall commu- nicating with 1he rear bed-rooms, and over the hall is a goud bed-room and linen-closet. ‘There is Do city in the country where the ar- rangement and constzuction of small houses ghould bhe mere carcfully studied than in Ch sawo. Our population s growing rapidly, and will aiways contain a large proportion of the class that demand small but first-class dwell- inws. The horrars of tenement-house life have hapoily not pren vizible here to any extent, and the wreatest effurts should be made to prevent the adoption of that miserable system in_ Chi- caza which has room etough to wive every famil 2 house of itsown. The houses that we Duted above are of a more costly kind. and are built on more vxpensive ground than would be smtable for the homes of wurkingmen, me- chanics, 70l operatives. Some sugrestions for the construction of more modest dwvllings are mivenin a recent editorial in the Philadelphia Letyer. which sncaks trom the expericnve of a ity where more attention has beeniven to this subject in a practicel way thau io any other city of the world. 1t savs: On lote ranging from fourteen to twenty faet in front. dwelimg-house~ of from four to twelve or more rooms= are <0 vlanned ax 10 bave each room smdependent of all others, the entrics and starr- ways being common to 51l the rooms, except that in some houses the kitchen can be reached from the front only by paxsing thronsh the dining-room.

Activity, if not srin- gency, was expected this fali. but has not been evperienced. Even the failure of the savings bonks did not make a ripple in the slngzish cur- rent of the business of the commerciul banks. These institations are making ewall profits, and are not thoroughly satisled with the present condi- tion of the loan market.

The Public reports that the increase of transac- ns at the grain-shipping and grain-receiving cities continues to overbalance losses clsewhere. Last week the gawat Milwaukee, in comparison with clearings for the corresponding week last year, was §0.5 per cent, at Chicazo 12.0 per cent, at Cincinnati 16.4 per cent, at Baltimore 5.4 per cent, and at New York 13.6 per cent, of which, however, about 5 per cent was due to increase in stock transactions. Boston returns an apparent 1oss of 2.5 per cent, because the transactions this year embrace. only five business days against six lastyear. The losses at Philadelphia and Pitta- burg are somewhat smaller than usual, and the loss at St Louis is trifling. but New Orleans lags be- hind, contrars to its custom. _For the three weeks ending Sept. 22, excenting at San Franci<co, where the report 1s for two weeks ending Sept. 13, the exchanges compare with those of tne same weeks last year, as follows: 1877, NeW YOrK...oueserenessS1, 181,533 itoston.

The only imvortant losses are at Philadeiphia and Pittsbure, thonzh Lowsvilie and St. Louis also fall behind. The most striking feature in the reports is the ustonish- ing gain at Milwaukee. The exchanges there for the entire month of September last year were only $20,500.220, and for the catire month 1 1875 ey were $2G4245,760. Not only has the large Toss, resulting from the short wheat crop last year, been recovered. but the transactions for the month promisc to exceed those of 1575 by more than one- fifth.

The rate of interest 1s almost certain not to be lower, and way be much higher. 1f any prominent speculators were interested in de- pressing prices, they could easily do o by cre- ating a étringency in the loan market. THE BANK OF FRANCE AND RESUMPTION OF SPE- CIE PAYMENTS. ‘The Bank of France is permitted by the law un- der which specie payments were suspended to re- sume when the debt owed it by the Government is reduced to $1i0,000,000. The date fixed for liquida- tion of the debt to this point was Jan 1, 1878, But already the reduction has progressed so far that but $2,000.000 remain to be vaid in order to bring down the frures of the debt to $60,000,000, the last statement of the Bank of France showing that $5.600,000 have besn lately paid by the Govern- ment. The resources of the Government allow it 0 pay the halance of §2,000.000 at any moment, but it is believed that the letter of the law will be &0 followed as not to resume specie payments be- fore the date set. THE METROPOLITAN NATIONAL BANK OF NEW TORK. The Presidency of the Metropolitan National Tank of New York left vacant by the death of the late John E. Williams bas been filled by the elec- tion of George I.

The Tudson River Railroad recently refused to take payment in sitver for a freight charge of $1.10. The reason given was that the silver was worth lees than the amonnt called for by the bill. The law is against the fludeon River Railroad, as it distnetly provides that eilveris u legal tender for paymente not exceeding $5.00 in onc amonnt. Not that the l{udson River Railroad cares anything for the law. AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD.

Of this immense quaniity only 6,992,534 bu was furnished from the Atlantic sea- Dboard of the United States, and 665,400 bu from Canada; makinga little more than one-tenth of the whole. ‘The contrast in flour is even more against ns. We note that Russia this year has furnished 6,105,367 quarters of the above totals, asainet 5.128,604 quarters for same time last year, and 849,644 quarters for do in 1875, The Rouman- ian Provinces have ulso contributud more to the total this year than last, in spite of war, though most of the Zrain'was exported before the Russians reached the Danube. A leading packer revorts that daring last week he emptied 7,000 brls of pork for the purpose of sellingitas **strips™ in boxee.

The leading produce markets were irreular Sat-’ urday, with fair activity, but mostly in makmg provision for contracts which expire Saturday or may be filled Monday. Trovisions were weak, and cash wheat strong, barley Jower, and oats easier, while corn was unsetled, and freights easy. The receipts of produce were large. and advices from other points had not so much weight as usnal in determning quotatlons. Dry goods were dealt in very liberally. Bavers were numerous, and their orders were larze in the agzregate. While the demand was general in its character, prints, worsted dress-goods. shectings, shirtings, ticks, flannels, hosicry, shawls, and no- tions received the most attention. Prices remained steads and firm. The demand for staple and fancy groceries was satisfuctorily active, and a firm and healthy tone pervaded the general market.

The wheat market for September has been an ex- citing one, and proved & great disappointment to most parties in the trade. It was expected that wheat wouid rule quite low here in the latter part of the month under the influence of very large re- cemts; end the grain did come forward freely, 9,061 cat-loads bel inspected into store. ‘But there was 8 steady demand for the article, which absorbed all the offerings, eome_bemng wanted for dircct export, and the rest to Al short sales made o the Sea- board. Hence the men who had sold short, in the expectation of lower prices when the market was below SL.00, found themselves obliced to buy itin among the teens above S1.00. The market was quite excited during the latter part of the past week, and prices mounted upward steadily but not rap- idly. 1t fs cetimated that nearly 2,000,000 bu wer filled in between $1.13 and_$1.18, of which 800,000 Lu were covered Saturday. It s esti- mated that the quantits defaulted is between 150, - 000 and 200,000 bu, which will have to be,ettlac this week.

Correspondence London News.” RoME, Autr. 3L.—Last night’s Capatale containg the following on the projected fortifications of Rome,—a vroject which formed part of the grand scheme for fortifying the whole -Italian coast line, and was conceived by the Minghetti Ad- ministration many months before the -preset Government entered upon office. The specula- tions of those journals, therefore, which give out that the fortitications in question are mo- ve by dauger anticipated from the present war, and -are especially devised to meet a probable invasion from France, are, in the literal sense of the word, preposterous: CapnEra, Aug. I2.—My Dran Dovziui: Dare the zaodness to publish the followinz words: **The country does not live hehind fortificd castles: it lives in the breasta of the cltizens. ™ This beaatifal saviogof Medoro Suvini should be pondered by Depretis (the Prime Mimster) and Mezzacappo (the War Minister) in " their ill-advised desizn of fortifying Kome. Rome requite to be beantifed, preserved from inundations, as Depretis will recollect having &3id (and promised) in_his Stradella prozramme). nob surrounded by trenches and ramparts like those of Castie Saint Angelo, which are little better than fever preserves.
