Messrs. EDITORS,
You copied paragraph from a New
York paper in which it is stated, that some
person had offered to deliyerto the direc-
tors of the United States Bank ten mil
hons OF dollars in specie, for ten millions
OF collars III per cent. stock, which is a
mistake. Stock is selling in Philadelphia
at 70 per cent. under par, and dollars at
3 per cent premium, so thatit is not like
~ that any man would commit such an
act of folly.
presume the story was fabricated to
raise the price of stock, and persons
who wish to keepup the deception say,
the offer was made by an EngIishnlan,
which IS still more absurd. Our 6 per
cent. stock is plenty in England, at rs per
cent. discount, and would cost. delivered
here, at least s per cent. premium. You
will observe by this statement. that the
people of England can purchase our stock
i6 per cent. under par, and that pur-
chase here, payable in dollars would cost
6per cent. above par, makinga difference
Of 81 per cent. i'll favor of Il purchase in
England.
