MONEY AND STOCKS

We have no prominent feE.ture to notice"since our advices
of the Ist inst. There has scarcely been• any variation in
our money market; the export of specie-is too-moderate to
affect it unfavourably, and rates of exchano too, weak just
now to create any fear of its immediate Itioreard.
The business of the week in securities for permanent
investment, as well as in those for specUlation, have been
moderate, and there is but little speculitive spirit in the
market ; notwithstanding that the news from Europe to the
22nd March is looked upon as very favourable, it remains
withoutiany material effect.
In CITY BONDS there have been moderate transactions in
Wheeling, 0., (Haicipal). Detroitls at better rates, in
miitivankee j7s' • Cleveland 7s, Chicago 6s "atKl.7s, atid St.
Louis 63, at well maintained prices ; ; and-in San Francisco
6s at a decline.
