An important sale of furs and skins has been com-
menced this morning at the Hudson's Bay Company's
House. A system of exclusiveness appears to belong
to the Corporation—most of the lots were bought in.
There were very nearly 40,000 skins and Furs
offered for sale.
The state of the United States money market is thus
described:—" The money market is quiet, without on
the one hand any large demand for purposes of busi-
ness, or on the other a disposition by banks and private
capitalists to loan freely. The Government have not
yet, as far as known, made any issue of Treasury
notes, and the impression seems to prevail that the
determination at present is to exhaust the balances
in the banks before putting any in circulation.
Whether they will be as readily absorbed when it is un-
derstood that the Government has no other means of
paying, as they would be now while it is optional to pay
Treasury notes or money, may admit of a question.
" It is quite certain, however, that unless the
expenditures of the war have been greatly ex-
aggerated, not only must the issue of Treasury
notes be resorted to, but the amount authorised will
be exhausted before the assembling of Congress can
give authority for additional issues. We look upon this
as highly probable, whether the war ceases or not. The
receipts from customs prior to the Ist of December can •
not be expected to be large, as all merchandise upon
which the duties is reduced and which is not wanted for
sale before that time will undoubtedly be warehoused.
It will not surprise us if the Secretary of the Treasury
should be compelled to issue the Treasury notes from
the commencement at the full rate of interest, or, if the
war continues, that they should fall in value so as to
prevent their issue in conformity with law, and em-
barrass still further the financial operations of the Go-
vernment."
