FINANCE AND MARKETS.

ftnr latest reports in this department are for 1 Monday evening, June 26th. From the Inter-Qcean comes a statement that there is increasing talk of dull timos in banking and monetary circles, and also to a considerable extent in the jobbing trado and in mercantile affairs generally. They hope, however, that it is no more serious than the usual and expected summer stagnation. It is thought that the present week will be really livelier than after the 4th es July, because now a great many transactions are being hurried up to complete them this month. From the first of July to the last of August, it is predicted, will be found much duller trade than has yet been experienced. Money is still reported abundant in the market and is quoted at low rates of interest, 90-day loans being made on good collateral securitise atiho rate of 6 per cent, per annum, and 80-day leans can be procured for 6 per cent, per annum; this at Chicago. Chicago brokers report receipts of small pack&gos of gold dust from the Black Hills mines, and the Inter-Ocean , which has oil along been very sanguine and enthusiastic over the richness of that region in the precious metals, expresses a probable hope that four to' fiye millions of dollars of gold dust will be taken from there this season. Should this hope be verified,of course it will have its influence upon tho gold market for the belter. Still speakingof Chicago, for that market interests readers of Tub Union more than any other, we notice very lutle change for the better, either in grain, cattle, or hogs. On the eighth page of this paper will bo found quotations for last Thursday. A comparison of them with what is here presented will show any important changes of a permanent nature that took place between the middle of last week and the first of the present one.

Pay Your Taxes Promptly.

The books in my office show a large tax delinquency. It is nearly two-fifths greater than lost year. These taxes must be collected. The law compels it. I am left no discretion in the matter. Those who owe delinquent taxes will please call within the next thirty days and make'payment, otherwise I shall be compelled to perform the disagreeable duty of making forcod collections by distraint and sale of property.

Treasurer Jasper County, Ind. Rensselaer, lnd., Jnne 29, 1876.

A Goad Solid Newspaper, Without Much Nonsense.

The Rknsselaer Union has been cut down to a 6-column quarto, with four pages printed at home. The change is a good one, and no doubt will be hailed with pleasure by the many readers of that paper. Tiie Union hasn’t much nonsense about it, but can be classed as one of our good., solid newspapers. —Remington Reeved.

All that F. J. Soar* & Co. ask of (be trade of Rensselaer and vicinity is to call and examine their stock of goods !ja They guarantee that their general stock through is cheaper than that of any other house in town. ■s» Messrs. Geo. W. Burk and Riley Noweß shipped a carload of hogs to Chicago last week, for which they got $5.90 per hundred weight. The hogs were nice smooth ones, that averaged a trifle upwr-da of 200 each at the city yards. Baseball fever is again prevailing in this locality. Quite an excitement was occasioned by a little game played in town on last Saturday afternoon, belweon the Rensselaer Clippers and the Nubbin Ridgors. The Booro was 60 for the former to 12 for the latter. It has made the Clippers awfully conceited. If your watch needs repairing leave it at the Austin House and it will be done in a workmanlike manner, on reasonable terms, by J. 8. Wigmore, who is with Will H. Fierce, (late Morgan & Son,} at Remington. Mr. Wigmore is well known in this vicinity, and needs no recommendation from us. All work warranted, #5. At a regular meeting of Iroquois Lodgo No. 148 I. O. O. F. June 27th, officers W6r4 elected by acclamation for the ensuing term es six months as follows: Noble Grand, Charles H. Pries; Vies Grand, Jehu W. Duvall; Secretary, Nathaniel W.

Unequalled Success of 1875! '• 5'x..... .i ;r r—■ ——— *' V il "'uv:T^'. i » } .'"" i "yr;" —* .‘f’., But ’7,6 is Bound to Beat It! LEOPOLD OF THE STONE STORE ' Says so, and wlat Is sap is is \mi is is is spite of Competition! . Mb. A. Leopold respectfully announces to his numerous patrons that in consideration of past favors shown him and his unequalled success in business since in Rensselaer, and especially in 1875, he has concluded that no customer shall leave his store (when goods are wanted) without purchasing, if low prices are any inducement, which will be realized by all who favor him with a call. Mr. Leopold Recently Spent Four Weeks in the Wholesale Markets in order to select good, honest and reliable goods to suit a good, honest and reliable trade, which stock, in quantity, quality and style, cannot be surpassed by any other house in the country. Advantage in Buying Gives Success in Selling. A few words to illustrate this proposition may not be out of place. Mr. LEOPOLD buys for cash only, discounts all his bills, pays no high rents, sells only to good parties when credit is wanted, and, best of all, has no partner with whom to divide profits except his numerous patrons, and to them he promises a fair share of all these advantages, thus equalizing them to both buyer and seller. HIS STOCK OF DRESS GOODS IS COMPLETE AND VERY LARGE! Consisting of Black Mohair Lustres, Black Alpacas, Cashmeres of all priees, Pongee in all shades, Plaid Poplins, Plain Mohair Poplins, Tangier Cloth, French Damesse—latest styles and in all shades. THE FINEST SELECTION OF SHAWLS IN THE MAMET A.isrr> iA.T PRICES TO, STJIT ALL CUSTOMERS. Ladies Linen Suits from 81.50 to 815 each. New styles Sackings. Dress Trimmings and Buttons, to match all shades. The Rosalie Corset, the best fitting corset made. His stock of Ladies’ Hats is very large and the priees will suit all pockets. - Ready Made Clothing and Gentlemen’s Furnishing Goods in large assortment. His stock of Merchant Tailoring goods cannot be excelled in quality or cheapness in any town. Finer Mohair Coating, Centennial Cassimere, and other late styles. Call, examine and judge for yourselves. The stock of BOOTS AKTD SHOES and their price’s can only be appreciated after examination. HATS AND CAPS. His selection of hats and caps cannot be beaten in this market for quality or cheapness. SEVERAL IMS OF FINE CARPETM-METM A LITTLE EXTRA FOR TUIS MARKET! rgrCall and see these goods and a thousand other articles not mentioned here. Remember, he considers it no trouble to show goods. Respectfully, .A. LEOPOLD. ~■.. ■ ' . i _ _ _ 111 'WBBBBMW rt—i! |'T~ " - ——“— “ 2 7 " ''" r Standard Groceries and Provisions. In regard to Flour, Sugar, Coffee, Tea, Rice, Hominy, Beans, Cured Meat, Saleratus, Indego, Spices, Pepper, Dried and Canned Fruits, Starch, Cheese, Confectionery, Cigars, Tobacco, Pipes, and, in short every thing usually found m country ero, eery and provision stores, it may be said that we will not be undersold nor excelled in the quality of goods by any establishment in region! Our resources and facilities for buying and freighting render competition simply impossible. On freight alone over one hundred per cent, was saved, and as we do oor hauling from the railroad with our own teams another large item of expense is saved. Then, again, we have no rents to pay. Thus we are enabled to successfully compete with the cheapest, and again say we will not be undersold in this marhet! All kinds of merchantable produce taken in exchange for goods at ruling prices. .. rsr*Don’t mistake the place—one door below A. Leopold’s famous Stove Stoke. 1 CHARLES PLATT, Salesman. ' . *
