quiet at par IS) 4 prem.In New York there is no change in the posted rates for Sterling Exchange, which remain at $4.834 for 60 day bills, and $4.883 for sight.Gold continues at par.Speaking of the disappearance of the premium on Tuesday, the New York Journal of Commerce says : \u201c Gold sold at par in currency for the first time since January 11, 1862.On that day there was no premium for gold, and the first record of any price after that was on Monday, January 13, when sales were made at 103.The immediate cause of the decline to-day was the unloading of the conspirators who bought gold late in November and early this month for the purpose of locking it up in the expectation of influencing the stock market.They failed in their design upon stocks, and having no further use for their gold disposed of it in the market and privately.\u201d London advices report Consols weaker at 94 3-16 for money ; 94 7-16 for the account.In Paris Five per cent.Rentes are at 112f.85c.The local

\u201c \u201c ® 1011 Montreal Telegraph.125 IS 108 In the history of banks there is probably no record of greater hardship than has happened to the Caledonian Bank, which has been forced to go into liquidation through an act on the part of the Directors which was dictated by motives of prudence, that were praiseworthy in themselves though the results have been disastrous.The case is a simple one.The Caledonian Bank was carrying on a sound, steady business in a portion of the country which was least likely to be much affected by any commercial disaster, and few provincial banks were apparently in a more healthy condition ; none of the hazardous methods of increasing their profits, which have so often proved to be the bane of other banks, had in this case been resorted to.Paradoxical as it may appear, the ruin of the bank was brought about through obtaining security for an over-draft.The advance was entirely within the scope of the legitimate business of such an institution, being for a comparatively small amount to a local man ; and, to make the debt safe, the bank took as security four shares in the City of Glasgow Bank of the nominal value of £100 each.This was the/ons ei origo mali.An apparent exercise of ordinary caution in protecting the bank has turned out to be its ruin.The head office of the Caledonian was at Inverness, and it had twenty-two agencies, principally in the north of Scotland ; the paid-up capital amounted to £150,000.The average circulation last year was £125,000, its authorized circulation £53,439, and its deposits £1,043,000.The shares were £10 each, but only £2 10s.is paid up.The last annual dividend was 14 per cent., the same as in the previous year, and 4 per cent-more than in 1868.The other Scotch banks have made arrangements for carrying on the business of the Caledonian, so that the local difficulties of the situation will be reduced to the smallest proportions, while the effect on business in other parts of the country is very slight.The Economist states that beyond the temporary inconvenience to depositors no further evil consequences are likely to arise from the stoppage of the Caledonian Bank, and no doubt is expressed as to the solvency of the institution, which appears to have been well and honestly managed.Its suspension is due to its unfortunate position as a holder of four shares in the City of Glasgow Bank.The liquidators of the City Bank believing that some of the wealthier shareholders of the Caledonian Bank were getting rid of their shares felt it their duty to insist either upon the deposit of a very large sum as security for the calls they will require to make, or the closing of the transfer books, so that the shares of the Caledonian Bank might not be permitted to pass into the hands of persons without means.the other Scotch banks advised the Caledonian to go into liquidation, but at the same time they showed their confidence in it by undertaking to take up its outstanding notes immediately, and to pay its depositors in full as soon as the Court of Session sanctions the arrangement.The commercial columns of the Boston Advertiser contain the following obituary notice of Gold Premium :\u2014\u201c It becomes our duty this morning to chronicle the fact that, from the effect of a slight fall to-day, an old acquaintance of business men who, for the last sixteen years, has always been consulted when any important business enterprise was on foot, has ceased to exist.Having been an invalid for some time past ¦in fact, quite low\u2014the passing away was not entirely unexpected, although many thought it might linger along until the first of January.But it was not to be, and after a brief struggle, in which it did not have an eighth of a chance, it fell, and expired.The news was quickly sent over the wires, and doubtless the whole country ere this is prepared to pay its respects in a fitting way when the obsequies are observed.The deceased was nearly sixteen years old, having been born January 13, 1862, in the troublous times of the war, during which it thrived wonderfully.It reached the period of its greatest strength in 1864, and enjoyed a vigorous existence for several years longer, profiting largely from the inflated ideas of its acquaintances, which increased its own importance in a commensurate degree.For the past few years, however, it has been sickly, but, like Sebastopol of old, it \u2018 held out \u2019 wonderfully well, and fell only when all its defences had been captured and broken down.But it had outlived its usefulness; the friends of its youth had departed and there are but few left to mourn its taking off.The name of the deceased was Gold Premium ; a natural son of Legal-Tender Greenback, whose wife was inflation, of blessed memory to all surviving Green-backers.The funeral rites will probably be observed at the Gold Exchange tomorrow.No flowers.0 22 .0 21 .0 so .0 20 .0 00 .0 22 .0 32 ® 0 20)4 0

feet over 1877.The shipments were 596,681,171 feet, and in the previous year 572,576,398 feet.The Northwestern Lumberman says \u201c Advices from the Muskegon River in Michigan report from ten to twelve inches of snow in the pineries ; but, as the swamps are all open, and there is no frost in the ground, the hauling is not good, and very little is being done in the way of snow logging.The railroads are all busy, however, and through tlioir instrumentality considerable timber has reached the bank.Logging work is hardly as well advanced as is usual at this date, but, with the railroads to fall back upon, the operators are sure of having all the logs they want under any circumstances.\u201d Maracaibo.o 20 Jamaica.0\t19 Java [Govt].0\t29 Rio.*.0 19 Ceylon.o\too Singapore.o\t20

Julioh ! It really is very peculiar ! I don\u2019t know why, but really I Should like to be married to-day 1 Oh, Julier ! Julier ! It really is very peculier ! I don\u2019t know why, but certainly I Wish to be married to-day 1 \u2014At Wednesbury a few days ago, a girl, named Julia Burns put a metallic sleeve link in her mouth for the purpose of hiding it from her sister, who was searching for it.She swallowed the link, which was about the size of a live cent piece, and fell down upon the floor.She turned black in the face, and, although an emetic ol salt and water was at once administered, she died in about fifteen minutes.\u2014In May, 1874, a bill intended to limit the privilege of franking, was sent from Ireland to England for the Royal approbation.In it was a clause enacting that any member who from illness or other cause should be unable to write, might authorize some other to frank for him, \u201c provided that on the back of the letter, so franked the member doth at the same time give under bis hand a fullcertificate of his inability to write.\u201d \u2014It is found in England that many of the artificial manures act chiefly as a stimulant, and that after a time the land refuses to answer the spur.This is most apparent on the poor and lighter soils, but even strong land loses heart unless a fair proportion of the farm yard manure is applied.The loudest agricultural complaints in Great Britain are from districts where scientific farming has been carried to its highest pitch, such as the Scotch Lothians, and in Norfolk.\u2014At the Brighton Aquarium they have a young sea lion named Prince, which is getting too big to be agreeable.He enjoyed greatly playing with a crooked stick, which he would toss and catch dexterously, but when he began throwing it at the heads of visitors tne keepers had to interfere.Then he amused himself by pulling the plug out ofhis tank and thus draining all the water off.If the night watchman does not keep a sharp eye on him, Prince climbs out of his tank every night.\u2014In an old record of the abbey at Barking, is an account of the agreement between Mr.Greenland, then vicar, and the Lady Abbess, which contains, among other, the following remarkable stipulation, curiously illustrative on conventual manners :\u2014\u201c That if the said vicar should have any familiarity with any one or two of the nuns, he should (after proper admonition) lose his diet for a week, after a second admonition forfeit a month\u2019s diet, and if he should offend a third time, be excluded the convent during life, unless restored by the special grace and favour of the Lady Abbess.\u2019\u2019 Lenient enough even for a Brother Beecher.THE CIMEUMN BANK RELIEF FUND.(COPT OF CIRCULAR SENT TO MAYORS) Ruction titles.BY M.HICKS & CO.the\u201ctrade.TO Merchants\u2019 House, \\ Glasgow, 9th November, 1878.j Sir,\u2014I offer no apokgy for bringing under your notice this Fund, and expressing the hope that your valuable services may be enlisted in promoting its success.It is the conviction of our Committee that an appeal to those who have still so many bonds of connection with their native country will not be made in vain.From the accompanying report of the proceedings at a Meeting in Glasgow, held upon the 4th instant, you will observe that it was resolved to raise a Fund of not less than £300,000 for relief of the necessitous Shareholders of the City of Glasgow Bank.Since that Meeting was held, it has Jjicliou titles.Unreserved Clearing Sale OF BOOTS AND SHOES.The Subscribers have received peremptory instructions to sell, without reserve, on account of whom it may concern, and to close consignment accounts, at their Wareroom.?, No.430 NOTKE DAME STREET, on Tuesdav Morning, 24 :h December, Fifty-seven Cases and Cartoons of BOOTS and S HOES, consisting of : Men\u2019s Stoga, Kip and Alexis Boots, Men\u2019s Fine Calf Wellingtons and Gaiters, Men\u2019s talent Embroidered Slippers;

but with others it may be necessary to direct attention to the fact that, according to the Investigators\u2019 Report, there was a deficiency as at 1st October, 1878, of the enormous sum of £5,190,883.to which must be added interest, contingencies and expenses of Liquidation, all which has to be met by the Shareholders, in addition to the loss of the value of their Shares.These figures speak for themselves, and in plain language they mean the ruin of a large majority of the Shareholders.The proposed Relief Fund is projected, not to assist the Shareholders to pay the calls that may be made upon them, but to relieve those who may be# deprived of their means in consequence^ of these calls.I leave it with yourself to take suoh steps as may appear to you best calculated to insure for this appeal the widest publicity, and also the most gener-ous response.I would respectfully suggest the formation of Local Committees, or such other means as may secure the best result.May 1 request the favour of a reply in course, and also of your communicating from time to time the success attending your efforts, which, no doubt, will bear corresponding fruit to the necessities of the case.I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM COLLINS, Lord Provost and Chairman of Committee.Goods on view the day before the sale.Sale at TEN o\u2019clock a.m., sharp.M.HICKS & CO., 303\tAuctioneers.giutdcml iifltices.BANQUE VILLE MARIE, Notice is Heret>y Given, 1st.That the General Annual Meeting of the Sh'ireholdeis of this Institution will be held in the Directors\u2019 Deliberation Room, above the offices of tho Bank, WEDNESDAY.THE I5TH DAY OF JANUARY NEXT, 1879, At ONE o\u2019clock, P.M,, For the Election of the Directors, to receive the Reports of the Directors and the Cashier, and for other purposes.2nd.That a Dividend of THREE PER CENT, upon the Paid-up Capital Stock of this Institution has boen declared for the current half-year, and that the same will be payable at the Bank,on and after Satnrday, the first Jay of jFehrnary Next.BY W, E.SHAW.TO THE FANCY COODS DEALERS AND OTHERS.5 Cases Wax Dolls and Fancy Work Boxes, Vases, &c\u201e Tine landlord ejected the L®1 ®Il>m %elower part of the house, tla tenant's family kept possession ?upper flats, where they are be- teiv u \u2022 be *an¦ Quebec, 2nd December, 1878.)
