MONEY MARK ET.
Sunday, March a.


During the past week, the stock market has expe-
renced many severe fluctuations Several events have
ranspired seriously affecting prices the result of which
rative quotations Several brokers broke down in
quence othe large and rapid decline The week closed
with little better feeling caused partly by the tenor OF
the European advices and partly by the alaying OF the
excitement regard to the domestic political questions
OF the day. The calm and quiet that now prevails
in the stock market will he followed by another
excitement more permanent than the last The move
ments in Washington Of very important nature.
Secret negotiations going on that WILL on being
made public have very great influence on the course
Of trade generally. Many reports are afoat and the
public mind has been operated on by rumors from
al quarters giving all kinds Of constructions to the
course of the cabinet The true state OF the Texas
question has not reached the public eye The in
bear this question: and the course
adopted by the British minister at Washington will result
in something more alarming to those against the annexa-
ton than is at present dreamed Of Great Britain WILL
probably take different stand regards Texas thtn
that regarding Oregon The late foreigniadvices gives
us accounts in relation to movements OF the British 60
vernment connected with the disputed part of Oregon
that pretty plainly shews their determination on that
subject
The stock market will doubtless be much influenced by
any open misunderstanding regarding these questions
and TO certain extent by the present uncertainty that
hangs them The operations lately in all securities
show this must be the result of the agitation Of all po
cal questions of Importance. Stocks somewhat like
the mercury in thermometer; the slightest puff initiates
i them.

WASHINGTON, March ", 1874.
I have taken every pains which the time this
morning allows me, TO send you the most au'heh''c
information as the true position OF the great Ore
gon and Texas questions. On the following points
you may confidently rely.
The votes of McDnifie and Huger, (and proodoy
Heywood) will not be changed on the oregon oliia
hereafter to be taken up. This is what l finally
wrote toyou last night. They are opposed entirely
to the whole Oregon measures. In this position
they are sensible that they eopordize the annex
alton of Texas. They uncompromisng men.
possessing little tact, and great obstnacy.
Some of the most sagacious Senators doubt whe.
Their any treaty-as has been surmised and publish
ed-has been formed at all for the annexation Of
Texas 1t may be in contemplation
There is at present ratona! ground at all to
expect there can be any annexation al the present
session OF Congress.
There Is now only one mode-and there IS one
| nv which the annexation can be effected thus SEES
| sion-to wit: by some negotiation to be ratihed
not by the Senate but by the joint legislative &C
ton Of the two Houses Of Congress, which would
require simple majority: Whether any thlns o.
| This kind is in contemplation or not at present,
| have no information. 1t is matter which mas no
been much talked of here, and have not consl
dered it, 49,.
of McDulfe, Huger, Haywood, Holmes, and oihc
friends of Calhoun, are but the echo of Calhoun
sentiments. They are opposed to Orego"-@ tn
| there is no doubt.
Nor is there any doubt but this position of Cal
houn and his friends has already greatly injured III
prospects at the west, and will totally destroy hin
| in that region.
Some of the southern members boldly aver tina
| the western members dare not, respects thei
constituents, vote against the annexation OF Texas
This may pass for what it is worth l great.
| doubt the averment.
| Everything looks favorable to the formation o
a treaty for the settlement of the Oregon Boundar
| by Mr.. Calhoun. Doubtless it will be so formed
as to get two thirds of the Senate votes, bu
whether it peases the west not admits of grea
| doubt
am not aware that any of these matters hav
any particular influence upon the respective posi-
tons or prospects of Clay and Van Buren,.
You will find in the newspapers all manner o
opinions, arguments and prophecies on these mat
ters-but you may confidently rely on the foregoing
| as the truth.
The feeling here is very deep and intense.
S.B.
P.S.-The city is filled with letters of brokers
Spectators, and others, from New York and else
where. The answers were as varied as are the IN
terests of the parties concerned. They had bette
