The volume of money in circulation outside the treasury is about $11,000,000 larzer thav a year ago and is more actively employed. In the interior, however, there Is some sizns of abating demand aud money is plenty at Chicago with rates unchanged, comparative- 1y easy at St. Paul, in good supply at New Orleans, fairly active at Milwaukee, the de- mand being moderate at 7 per cent; in good demand at 7 to § at Detroit and at 6to7 at Pittsburg, in brisk demand at Cleveland where some banks are close but others well supplied, still tight at Phila deiphia, with 6 per cent stiff and in sharper domand at i3oston since the fire, the supply being small at §to 7 per cent, ‘T'tie treasury has taken in during tho week 81,600,010 more than it has disbu The reports of bus indicate some falling off at the west which is considered temporary at Chicago and attributed to rain ané unseason- able weather nt Milwaukeo where dealers appeur apprehensive and collections are only fair.

The speculutive markets for products have been strong but not very active. The gen- eral tenaeucy of prices is still upward, the rise since November having averaged .4 of 1 ver cent for all commoditics.

A The earnings of the railroads continue re- markably large for November, exceeding those of lust year by nearly 13 per cent. Much of the past week’s depression was du. to fears of withdrawal of government de- posits from the banks, but 1t is now plain that no disturbance can result from the grad- ual measures adopted.

If Charles H, Hoyt or some good com= edy writer would' come to Washington and spend a season he would get enough material to kegp him in stock for a year. There are some awfully funny things in the treasury corrido: The Washington Post has heurd of some of them. The halis are dark at all times, especially so on gloomy days. The doors of the rooms open inward, but the Ven- etian blind doors swing outward. Now here is an incident in skeletos Portly, well préserved, much dressed visitor meets pretiy treasury *countoess’ flitting through the corridor. He steps to ono side, tukes off his hat, brings hi heels together to bow in second po: tion. Just as the bow is achieved and hefore he begins to straighten his back, a Venetian door bursts open, smashing his hat against his manly buzzom and smashing his nose against his manly phiz.
