Wsmpbib. 1'k-NB.. August 26, 1871. J
Xbe money market continues to rule
quiet, and is devoid of much interest.
Money is in active demand, with a fair
supply of currency. The banks are
granting favors to regular customers on
anexceptionable paper at 1012 $ cent.
$ annum; on the streets money is active
at 2(22 J $ cent. $ month on good col
laterals. Brokers are paying 108J109
for gold; with few transactions. Ex
change continues scares, as follows: On
New York, Boston and Eastern pointB,
buying at par and selling at o premium
and on New Orleans at ic discount.
Scrips and city bonds rule dull, and are
not in much request. County and State
warrants are in light demand and limited
transactions. There is nothing doing in
railroad stocks or foreign securities.

The market this morning opened quiet,
with a better feeling in the market, but
little doing. New York was quiet and
unchanged,' with futures easy. Liver
pool was dull and unchanged. New. Or
leans was firm and unchanged. The
market here presented a fair feeling, but
was inactive. A. few buyers were on the
market making inquiries. Offerings
were light, with the market bare of me
dium and bright cottons. Several small
lots of ordinary changed hands on spin

at 15J15jo and middling at lGlCJc.

Kon-Freeclnsr Hater flpea.
A device to prevent freezing water
from bursting water pipes bas been in
vented in England. It is well known
that when water freezes it expands, and
that the force exerted la so enormous
that no pipe can resist it. This inven
tion is intended to give the water a
chance to expand without bursting the
pipe. It attempts this by securing in
the inside of the metal pipe a space
equal to the difference in volume be
tween water and ice, so that when the
water freezes it occupies the space re
served for it, instead of exerting its
force on the pipe and bursting it. This
is Dractically carried out by passing
through the water pipe a small India
tuhe, specially made for the purpose,
aid of such diameter that the space in
side is a little more than equal to the
increase in , volume of the ice. The
India rubber tube is always kept full of
air so that when the water freezes it
finds the necessary space for expansion,
for by compressing the air tube it dis-
Dlaces the air and takes its place. W ben
the ice melts the tube again expands,
becomes filled with air and is ready for
another froat, and so on for any number
of times without requiring attention.
