ment, which this community has at all
times so literally extended 10 enterprise,
having for its object the advancement
and prosperity of these important inter
ests.

part to their Journal charter thoroughly

und detailed reports Of the daily opera
tons in the market, with careful review
of the monetary transactions will be CIV
en-; 10 short, all information which may
be useful 10 the man of business, will be
embodied in their columns. Every effort

correspondence with writer's of acknowl-
edged ability, in Europe, and in the North,
