The Richmond limes explains why
raising funds for the j Jefferson Davis
monument has ceasedi An organiza
tion was effected in Richmond last
December for the purpose of soliciting
contributions for the fund. Enough
1 1
money was quickly securer to insure
the success cf the movements, from the
various Southern States and from men
in the North, and Mayor Ellyson
"wrote to Mrs. Davis, asking her if
she would agree to the monument be
ing erected in the by-gone capital of
the Confederacy, which for. so long
was the object of her illustrious hus
band's watchful solicitude. Mrs.
Davis replied that she was then un
able to decide where she . would give
her consent for the monument to be
placed,as both Mississippi and Louisiana
had presented urgent claims for it,and
requested Mr. Ellyson; to wait twelve
months, by which time she would de
cide.. This somewhat arrested the ac
tivity in Virginia in raising the money,
as the contributions had been made
with the view of erecting the monu
ment here. This accounts for the
seemingly abandonment of the project
It will, however, be renewed when Mrs.
Davis shall have been heard fxosrf, with i
the usual interest, and ifc ltitfct&$fy
amount will at once be raised ' South
ern patriotic leaders hope to .have, it
erected by the time one to Grant is
completed in the North.' V
Hon. J. M. Brower has instituted
suit for libel against Gilliam & Oliver,

The Week In Trade Circles
Philadelphia Record.
Commercial affairs during the last
week have necessarily reflected in some
degrees the disturbing effect of the
financial stringency and the enforced
liquidation in the speculative markets
While no large mercantile or indus
tral interests havejbeen directly affect
ed by the disasters that have overtaken
the Stock Exchange speculators and
and the promoters and backers of va
rious schemes of investment, the mone
tary v crisis has nevertheless had its
influence on the commercial markets.
