cent- Business on the Stock Ex' change has been light.A cable despatch states that the Economist of the 23rd inst.says \u201c The variations, except in foreign government stocks, are mostly favourable especially in iron and milling companies, in consequence of the improvement in the iron trade.In Colonial Government de bentures those of the Province of Quebec have risen 1 per cent.In foreign governments, the resignation of Count Andrassy adversely affected Hungarian.There is also a fractional decline in Russian, Turkish and Egyptian.Despite the unfavourable weather and the bad traffic returns the changes in home railways are mostly favourable in consequence of speculators for a fall having been compelled to buy back at a loss, owing to dividend announcements being better than anticipated.There has been some excitement in Canadian railways, owing to the retirement of Mr.Childers from the Board of Directors of the Great Western Railway, which is now officially announced.There have been a number of fluctuations in.American railways.There was considerable depression on Thursday which was mostly recovered on 1 rid ay.Nearly all the changes, how.ever, are merely in response to movements of the New York market.Cairo and Yin-cennes bonds have fallen 2 per cent., but Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio bonds and Atlantic and Great Western Rental Trust, 1872, have risen 6 per cent.British bank stocks have improved all round in consequence of the reeent passage of the Banking Bill.Telegraph stocks are generally weak.Anglo-American are fractionally lower.\u201d To-day\u2019s despatches quote Consols quiet at 97 13-16.The local money market is quiet; there is a moderate business at the banks, good commercial paper is discounted at 7 per cent, and less desirable lines up to 8 per cent.; loans on collaterals are made at about 5 per cent, on call and 6 on time.Sterling Exchange is dull at about 8} for 60 day bills between banks and 8} @ 83 over the counter; in New York the posted rates are $4.82 for 60 days and $4.84 for demand.Currency drafts on New York are quiet at par to 1-16 prem.On the Stock Exchange there was a sudden accession of strength in bank stocks hut miscellaneous securities were quiet and im some cases rather weaker.Bank of Msnt-rea opened at 130, an advance of } since yesterday, and closed firm at 131 bid,.131} asked; Ontario\tchanged hands at 564 and later 56} was bid and 58 asked ; for Consolidated 4 is offered holders ask 8}; Peoples is steady at LUMBER It is a pleasant thing to read that marked improvement is perceptible in the lumber trade, so as to create a considerable demand for craft at Ottawa.This is something new in these late years, and, unlike many new things, it is good.We presume it is a fresh demand in the United States market which is felt at the moment, but we hope that England will soon again want the sort of wood goods shipped at Quebec, for we perceive it is noted that stocks held on the ether side have greatly declined.We have, however, in this as in everything else active competitors in other countries ; and it will be a mistake to expect ships to come to Quebec if they are to be subjected to unreasonable rules intended to create a demand for labour at enormous rates of wages.Ship masters, like other people, must pay the usual rates for the labour they require ; but that is another thing from artificially augmenting wages especially by refusing the ship roasters the right of employing the labour that belongs to them on board.COMPROMISE.sent by us a one of A Montreal merchant has postal card forwarded to him his creditors as follows :\u2014 Digby, August 12th, 1879.Dear S.ib,\u2014After careful consideration I have concluded to ask my creditors to accept a com uromise of Twenty-Five cents, payable in three and six months.This is the best offer I uan make, and I can only do this througb the assistance of my friends.Please advise me by early mail if you will accept f his offer.Should the larger proportion of my creditors agree to accept this, I will h ave a deed of composition prepared at once.If they refuse, I shall not be able to pay anything.Yours truly, F.A.Braman.Mr.Braman is evidently a very cool and deliberate man of business.If creditors do not take what he offers they may go without.A settlemen-, however, in this way is not without its advantages, the cost of the machinery of the Insolvent Act will be avoided.LONG CREDIT.We have frequently urged upon the mercantile community the necessity of reducing the credit system to a minimum, if trade is to be placed upon a healthier basis.Some improvement has taken place, hut much remains to be done, and we hope to see a great reform carried out.Since the principal mercantile countries in the world are moving iu this direction, it should be all the easier for or,hers to follow in their lead.In New York there has been a movement against the \u201c daving ahead \u201d system and something of the same sort is going on -in England, for the London Draper has the following ; \u2014 \u201c The question of \u2018 dating forward \u2019 naturally exercises attention just now, for there is, indeed, ample canse.In most other wholesale houses except the drapery, there is a disposition to limit credit down to the lowest limits possible while the bad times last, to escape the risks of losing capital, owing to the bankruptcies which have been so frequent of late, and which threaten to lie even more numerous as the autumn- progresses.We rejoice that the g eneral standing of retail drapers is suffiei.entiy good to allow of more confidence t han this.The very fact of \u2018 dating forward \u2019 being a question of debate proves this much; but we should say it is much let's likely to be in favour either with wholesale or retail traders just now than it was when prospects were better.We take the opportunity of adverting to a fact which'has not beennuilicientSy called attention to\u2014that retail drapers themselves are often called on to give much longer credit to their customers than they ever obtain even by the \u2018 dating forward\u2019 system from the wholesale houses.Now, we fully admit the long-¦ credit system to be an livil in every way.Whether it be a uecesa» ry one or not is *she only point for consivierati.n.\u201d \tt-S*\t1 *¦ u 'A - lip\t\t

Tribune\u2019s Washington special says a brother of the murdered Captain Dixon has arrived.According to his account, Barksdale fired at his brother from behind, at a distance of not more than 25 feet.Barksdale had been lying in wait in the drug store of McCormack, chairman of the Democratic County Committee, armed with a shot gun.The instant Birksdale fired, 15 or 20 men, armed with shot guns, suddenly appeared in the streets, crying: \u201cWhere is he!\u201d \u201cKill him!\u201d \u201cKill him!\u201d As soon as they found Dixon was down they dispersed, The day before Dixon was killed he began to prepare a written statement of his troubles, but the manuscript could not be found after his death.The Independents are determined to nominate a full ticket and keep it in the

correspond with those charged to Ameri can inventors.Many American inventions, it is said, are now freely appropriated in Europe.San Francisco, August 26.\u2014All quiet this morning.The authorities
