Thero lé no disgutsing the fact that onr local moncy market is somewhat stringent, although uo diffleulty is expericneed in making loans for legitimate purposes on scceptahlo paper, at 14{@1%5 per cent. per month; but speculative designs are frowned down, thoir projectors being compelled to submit to harder terms, When gold took its lait upward flight in New York large amounts were forwarded from here to secure the premium; hut it may be douhted whether tha operation was wise. It is true that merch was p d and placed in this market at greatly reduced figurea; hut tho market was bared of coin, snd the stringeney which succended exerted such a depressing cffect upon business that the bulk of tha gooda remained on hand, whlle the increased rates of money more than countcrbalanced any tomporary advantage gained hy heavy treasuro shipments to realizo the premium paid on gold at the East, Although the new crops arc commencing to make their appenrance we learn of uo concerted attempt to market them, ner docs there appear to be any great demand for mioncy to move them to the seaboard. It is generally beHeved that the financial pinch experienced for soveral weeks hns gone through its worst stages. Cases of individual tightness cannot be heid as iudicating tho actual condition of tha market; hut, liko all news of an unpleasant character, they create more remark and produce a senso of uncasincss for which if a reason were demanded uone ratisfactory could be given. It is very certain that bnainess 1a being done on a sounder basis, and although we learn of no very marked or notewortby transactions, the character of that which is dono is more satisfactory.

Medjcated with the finest Culasaya Bark (also gathered and prepared by the employces of the firm in South America), and other rare vegetable curatives and restoratives, the Plantation Bitters are in all respects the best tonie, atterative and regulating preparation ever eompounded for tho use of man. yk Tr spectacles are used before they are required, or if their use is postponcd when needed, the eye is injured.

An ApsotuTaLy Port Stimurant,—Ask uny analytical chemist who has tested tho comparative wholesomeness of distilled liquors, and he will tell you that St. Croix Rum is the purest of them all.” This matchless stimulant is the only alcoholic element used in the mapufacturoe of Plantution Bitters—and mark this: it is not tho St. Croix Rum of commerce that is so employed, but an articls mado from the sugar-cano by tho agents of the proprietors of the Bitters, on their own sugar estates ot St. Thomas, and far superior to any rum obtainable in the general market. Medjcated with the finest Culasaya Bark (also gathered and prepared by the employces of the firm in South America), and other rare vegetable curatives and restoratives, the Plantation Bitters are in all respects the best tonie, atterative and regulating preparation ever eompounded for tho use of man. yk Tr spectacles are used before they are required, or if their use is postponcd when needed, the eye is injured.
