FINANCE AND TRADE.
1m inaxcial matterrf notbinR changes
lur the rate of goM, and that baa some
lictJy pirouettes. Up to two o'clock yes
terday the telegraph reported the follow
irjr i-ripps at dilTereut hours: 114,113$
114,; here brokers were paying for
g ki llJfo.llSJ. The New York Bulletin
Myn : "In the gold room there was some
little excitement, by reason of a decline
in the price. This was immediately
caused by the unloading of a number tf
weakeper ulatois, and, indirectly, bydis
pstrbes from Washington reiterating the
iletermication of the treasury to sell new
live percent, bonds in excess of the55Uu
(xei (KM authorized by the funding act of
Js7 for the purpoee of getting silver
with which to supplant the fractional
currency. How this csn forward specie
p3yru tits is uot understood, but it had
as good an ellect as if it were clearly an
aid to that inuch-C"e3;red end. In the
afternoon it was announced that Secre
tary Bristow had issued another call for
Slo ot;u 000 5 20 bonds, interest to cease
o.uotwr 14th, the call having been
made attherequestof the syndicate sell
ing new lives." The fillowing European
news shows the ellects of the English
liaufcrupticiea: "The .London and
Westminster bank, the next largest in
KtitoUon in London to the bank of Eng
land, lias reduced its dividend from 20
per cent. pT annum to 10 per cent, per
Hunuai. Their lo3ie3 on bad bills, etc.,
owing to recent failures, have used up
half thf ir reserve fund. Other leading
hanks have suilt-red seveiely of late
in ntnilarcauses; but it is some satis
faction to know that the bulk of the
large failures has fa'lon upon institutions
so well able to meet the losses." Ex
chan onntinues very dull at unchanged
rates. Yesterday we ropied the
following: "The New Yolk Chron
st of July 1st, saya the Hamburg and
Bremen lire insurance company claiine,
lu its advertisements, to have $2,000,000
auets. but its returns to the State of
New ork show only $323,400 paid up,
with $1 SI, 663 surplus " We leara from
the respected agents of the company in
tbis oity that tM paragraph conveys a
wrong impression, because it gives only
part of the fact. The company's card
gives total aeetain the United States at
i4'j, but claims a total of "capital
and a- -umulations" of $2,000,030; the
balance ia then fore held in Europe. In
local securities we heard only of the sale
of 20K) Ktate notes at SO; we quote 6S
30, fire and police, 88; school notes, 8Sg)
oil Hlielby county scrip, 7475.

The Courier-Journal man Is doiisg
good work exhorting for the Poorman's
meetinghouse in that city. Here's one
of his efforts, and it's a good one, too.
We hopa to hear that the era has come
when the rich and the poor alike can
attend divine worship without being
subjects of criticism, either in admira
tion or contempt. Hear Will Hays:
"When you hear the little bell in the
steeple on top of our Poorman's mectin'
house sending forth its cheerful aud in
viting music you may be satisfied it
means, 'Come to meetin.' Wbeu y u
go, and you see tho preacher put on hia
specs, open the 'singin' book,' and
'line out' the old familiar hymn:
'Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
To imca a worm as I' Sing,
you may rest assured that his whole
heart and soul is happy when he sees
'poor, needy sinners' in that little
meetin'-house throw their heads back
and all sing as if the Lord was deaf and
tho angels were asleep. When tho
man of God' saya: 'Let ns pray' you
musn't be too proud or stiff to bend your
knees or bow your heads in humble pen
itence. You needn't ba afraid of occu
pying another man's seat. If you have
no coat go in your shirtsleeves; never iet
clothes keep you away. It is the soul
that God is after, and not your clothes.
When the doors of that little bethel are
thrown open, they are opened to the
poor as well aa the rich, and wo want
ycu to feel that it is your privilege to go
there and enjoy the benefits of a poor
man's meetin'-hoose, and not a rich
man's church.
