The “ boys’ of our” party were delighted with the many curieus things to be seen here. Bot the greatest curiosity of all was Cleopatra's needle— Egypt's present to the City of New York. This needle is a solid square block of granite, considerably emailer at the apex than at the pase. It is not se high as many of the wobunents in the United States, but when it is considered tha: it isa sol d block, hewn out of the quarrie, as it now stands, it 1s proof that the ancicuts knew a good del more, than we, the people of modern days, are willing to give them eredit for, ‘Lhe they may be called, were perfect hierogly plics tous.

At last one broke te silence, with this uaintremark : ‘*Biil, Where du you think tie beys that made that are now.” Having tired vit Central Park, with all its maguificent atiractions, we determined io have a ride over the Elevated Railway. 1t was quite a sensation to the majority of our party. Sheeting past windws over the heads of the vast mult.tude which thronged the streets beioW, was quite an exciting experience, but it was greatly enjeyed by tue whole party. Leaving New York on the evening train, we reached Philadelphia aiter a two hours’ ride, and at 9 o’vlock the next morning we were in the smoky depot of Pittsburg.

The following letter appears in the latest number of the *‘[usurance Society” :— Dear S1r,—I wish to call your attention to the subject of Bank Agents and Bank Clerks, actsng as lasurance Agents, which, as a shareholder in instituuons of beth classes, | think wrong, and 1 am surprised that the directors of our monetary institu- tions permit it. Two of our principal banks here have seen the error of their ways and discontinued allowing it. It is unwise to permit bank mamagers to act as insurance agents, because some may be induced to give custumers who transact their insurance with them more accommo- dation than they would otherwise grant. Not leas is it so to allow clerks to act, for they are paid by the bank, and should have all their time devoted tothe bank's business. Many of them get their books muddled quite enough without attending to anything else, and few of them have sutt- cient brains to atterid to mere. Now, to be a good inswrance agent, ope who reads and siudies up his business, requires a con- siderable anount of brains. I am not speaking of the kind of agent many com- panies employ in the present day: but intelligent men, not those who have failed at everything, and get hold of an agency for some young company, and thivk they can “‘run the machine for their own bene- fit. To the regular agent it is discouraging to find that some of his regular customers have to give their business to the bank because they keep their account there, and are afraid that if they do not, it may act to their disadvantage. 1 know this to be the case in the town I live in, and | have had a pretty long experience. Most agents act for two or more companies, and | know for a fact that they put their bea: risks imto the company thatempleys them only, and very naturally, too. have spoken to many agents in various places, and find that they all think and act alike in this matter, and many of them will net keep their deposit accounts in hanks whese em- ployees act as insurance agents. I conld point ont several cases where bank agents, acting ip both capacities, have made ad- vances on bogus warehouse receipts, on t e strength of loswrance receipts issued by themeelves. I remain yours reapec'fully, April, 1881. A SHAREHOLDER. -_:* Seat Fisueries — The steamer New- found'and which arrived at Halifax, reports the beantiful * All Ripht” coit owned by Mr W.D McCoubrey.

Most of these are for the United States market, which for the past week was remarkably firm, but which yesterday, the 28th, commenced to decline A circular received, dated Boston, 25rj, says:—‘* The potate market still retarmn: its firmness, and thongh there is not quite iso much call fer Early Rose, the other i varieties are still wanted at our previous quotations, viz. : Prolifics, 85 to 90 cants ; Chenangos, 75 ceuts.

New York market circulars of the 25th report pork about 25 ceuts lower and dull-— old mess on the spot being $17. In Chicago on the 23rd, pork closed 20 cents lower at 17.474. Various reasons for the decline was assigued. A letter from Chiczygo, 1e- ceived in Boston, on the 20th. describes the onslaught on previously leading bulls as very exciting. It seems that the reporter who wires the quotations to the loc:] Ex- change, makes the tour of the Chicago Board every five minutes, and that in one of the intervals early in the day, 1,000 bar- rels were thrown into the pool at 20c¢ less than buyers were bidding. This let the price to $17.59, and before the reporter hard returned the market touched $17.65 twice, and rebounded te 17.40. In this one whirl three brokers sold 6,000 barrels. ‘The ix - pression of Chicago is that the ol? bulis will return to hft the market again, but at | what moment they may again try to wreek the market by a bear throw is uncertain FLOUR.

Our Chicago contem- porary considers it folly to go west in the dehief that all sections ef the west are eminently suitable for settlement. On this point it says:— ‘* Experience has proved that agricultur- al pursuits cannot be profitably or even safely undertaken anywhere west of the 99th degree of longitude in any of the vast territory south of Dakota. The droughts and the grasshoppers aro the plagues of that region. Even irrigation, expensive as it is under all circumstances, has been found impracticable for want of water outside the immediate valleys of the Platte and Arkansas rivers. None of the other streams drain from the snews of the Recky Mountains, but run dry just when their waters are needed for irrigation. Thousands of families that moved beyond the line of ninety-nine are striving to se- cure homes further east, and find them more costly now than when they abandon- ed them,” These statements are quite true ef many sections of the far western States, and to some extent true also of Dakota and Ne- braska; but they do not apply to the newer Canadian territories, where water is quite plentiful, and droughts do not come. * Tuk Boston Silver Plating Company is now repared todo all kinds of Gold and Silver lating, such as kuives, forks, spoons, cake baskets, fruit stands, tea sets, watches and jeweiry of every description.
