On the subject of the money market, the Courier and
Inquirer says—
" Foreign-Exchange was less in demand to-day, and sellers
of bills on London were more readily found at 61/2 than
buyers; and the opinion seems to be entertained in some
well informed quarters, that the rate will recede below 6. If,
however, another opinion which is gaining strength be accu-
rate, that through the large issues of Treasury notes and
other causes, there is to be an abundant money market,
Foreign Exchange can hardly fall so low. We shall see."
