Free Coinage Bill Promises Simple Silver Policy
The house committee on coinage will adopt a free silver coinage bill with a vote likely eight to five, contingent on Gen. Tracy's absence. The bill allows free coinage of silver totaling $100 or more and issues certificates payable in coin meaning gold or silver, preserving parity. It sets a dollar at 412.31 grains, but allows 400 grains if an international silver conference dictates.

Prices Again Advanced by National Cordage Company
The Boston Commercial Bulletin reports the National Cordage Company has raised rope prices by a full cent per pound, the second hike since mid October. It now dominates cordage and binding twine markets, aided by reduced duties on binding twine that limit domestic price gains. The Marchioness of Westminster dies at ninety four, having managed estates and charitable concerns, born 1797, married 1819, mother to four sons and nine daughters, with an income of £40,000 after her husband’s 1869 death.
