The deceased on his deat bed made a atate- shooting, while, on the other hand, Mrs. rittenour m- sists that she did it, which statement she no doubt made for the purpose of screening her son.

The money market was easy at five to six per cent during the usual hours for making engagements, but became active late in the day, with a smart In- quiry at seven per cent, which rate was reported to j have been paid m gold by @ few bor. rowers toward the hour for closing te banks. The better demand was attributed to several causes, among others to the sudden necessity imposed om certain parties to carry over about a million government ponas rejected at the Sub-Treasury to-day, which they bad expected to sell for cash, The larger volume of business and advance In prices at the Stock Exchange have also helped to make more occupation for money; but the sudden activity this aiternoon may possivly have been engineered by the cliques with a view to reviv- ing the flagging and drooping spirits of the operators on the “bear” side and induce. fresh sales for the decline, Indeed, the very absence of a short inter. est serves to account for increased activity; for with @ “bear” toevery “bull stocks require no capi- tal, the transaction between each pair of such specu- lators becoming simply a bet in which the loss or gain is secured by the margin advanced to the bro- kers. As cach “bear’’ Closes his interest, profitably or otherwise, be imposes on the ‘huil’? the tau burden of the stock on which issue had pecn joined. Furthermore theré has been a curious change of opinion among banking officials as to the course of the money market during the interval to the new year, which change has come about within a day or two.
