The closing prices on many descriptions were much
lower than those ruling through the week Pennsy
SIS advanced to 65 improvement of 81 cent from
Thursday. Confidence in this has lately increased,
in consequence Of the lower house of the legislature
having passed resolution evincng their determination
not to adjourn until provision made for the
creditors of the State. We little foundation for the

that they hardly know which to act first The friends
of EACH wish push their through and we fear
the whole will result in adjournment without having
accomplished ything.
