Ax Ohio man has compiled a table vvliicli shovs very clearly the effect of Lard times upon tbo matrimonial market. Just before the -war tbe number of marriages in tbe state averaged about 23,000 a year, tbe total in 1800 being 23,10G, out of a population of 2,339,51L Tbe influ ence of tbe war was reflected in Ibe fall to 19,010 in 18G2 and 19,300 in 18G3, while the return of peace was followed in 1SGG by tbe unprecedent ed number of 30,-i79. The average settled down to about 2G,000 a year after 1870, but the influence of tbe panic of 1873 is seen in the drop from 2G.G7S in 1874 to 23,489 in 1875. A similar result has fol lowed the business depression of the la3t two years, and the number of marriages fell from over 30,500 iu 1SS2 and 1SS3 to only 23,720 in 18SL Two other things are shown by an analysis of tbe table. One is the fact that tbe number of marriages in Ohio is appreciably less in proportion to the population now than it was a quarter of a centu ry ago. Before the war there was one marriage every year to a little over 100 inhabitants. The same ratio now would require an annual average of about 32,500, while for five years past the average has been only 29,255, and the highest number 30,G59 in 1883 is well short of these figures. Another discovery is that the number of children to each marriage has fallen off iu a marked degree. In 1SG0 there were 23,10G marriages, aud the mmber of births wa3 71,170. During the last five years the number of marriages has averaged 29,255, and number of births has been but G8158 fewer births than twenty five years ago, with a married popu lation over 25 per cent larger. Tho disparity would doubtless appear still greater if the comparison could be restricted to the native population, for a full eighth of Ohio's inhabitants are of foreign birth, and another con siderable percentage are the descend ants of foreigners, among whom large families are the rule. It would prob ably be found upon such an auahsis that the fecundity of Ohioau? who are cf New England descent has di minished iu as marked degree as that of the inhabitants of the region from which the' went Evebxbody is familiar with the general effects of the business de pression upon manufactures and trade and tho labor market, but it was left to a Chicago paper to show that there is no business which has suffered more from hard limes and tbe dullness of trade than the banks. Kates of interest have been extreme ly low, and have been constantly growing lower for three years past. But low as interest has been, the banks have been unable to lend any largo proportion of money in their vaults, and it has laid idle for tbe want of borrowers with acceptable credit. The banks have been so gorged with money that they have bought 3 per cent, and other extreme ly low priced bonds for investment, and paid &uch premiums that they realized little more than 2 per cent intorest on their money. Bankers ba e never had quite so hard limes aud so heavy a pull as they are hav ing now. Heretofore in periods of depression interest has been high, and the banks could find more bor rowers than they had money. Now the depression affects the bankB more than any other class, and they sensi bly feel its drain and exhaustion. The city of Minneapolis has a cur ious provision in its law relating to the liquor traffic. Besides charging a license fee of $500, the law marks out certain patrol limits, including tho business core of the city, within which all tho saloons there are must be established, and where they can ba kept under close police inspection. As to the rest of the city, including all tho main residence portions of the city, where, probably nine-tenths of the inhabitants have their homes, ab solute saloon prohibition prevails and is rigidly enforced. It is reported that Commissioner Black, who received some weeks ago a letter from 'a little girl twelve years old," in which she pleaded for tho re tention of her father, who is a Bepub lican in office, and which request was noticed publicly as having been granted, has been overwhelmed with letters from "little girls twelve years old," asking the same favor. The letters are now consigned to tho waste basket The Milwaukee expert, Talmadge, in his final estimate places the total wheat crop of tho United States at 324,000.000 or 305,000,000 bnBhels less than last year. Montana's output of gold, silver and copper this year will reach $30, 000,000 much the largest figure ever attained, and Montana thinks herself on tho eve of a remarkable mining development, which will rival in mag nitude that of Colorado in the "seventies," and be less speculative and more enduring.

The fire losses in the United States and Canada during the first seven months of 18S5 aggregated SG0,000, 000, the total for July having been about $9,000,000. NEW TO-DAY.
