FRIDAY, P. 81.
The market for fancies was heavy today, and
with sales to fair extent the quotations arc Inc
Investment stocks are steady
In Exchanges there is not great deal doing.
Sterling is heavy n, 7a7l for city signatures. There
have been considerable sales Of bills drawn at New Or
leansat 6. per cent The Continental Exchanges

shipped as cd The quantity of freight waiting TO go
forward is immense To Germany q cents per bushel
is asked Cotton cannot be shipped at IS I'd to Liver

The following appeared in the Courier Of the
1lth instant,
The constant statements in OF the little papers,
,ha, bids have been made By parties named tor the
whole loan asked for By the Treasury, are necessarily
unfoundcd for rcasons-onc, that referred 10 by
Yesterday that the Secretary himself canno; properly
know what the bids uli the moment comes Tor open
ing all of them in public and another not less obvious
that the parties named the bidders certainly not
likely take the papers referred TO into their confidence
We adhere to the opinion, that no bid VIII be- made
for the whole loan and that such bids made nj all
will be for portions not exceeding altogether million
or million and halt, at par
The Courier mas probably discovered by this that
what 1t necessarily calls the little papers" know quite
az much about the matter The Times OF America
The all taken and nearly all par and por-
ton over The Bank of Charleston ii is understood

understand are sufficient to pay all the running eX.

the capital stock 1t is sad that two or three wealthy
individuals Albany have recently purchased up ma
loity of the stock and instead OF making dividend TO
the old stockholders who have held 1t Tor years they
are endeavorng to keep down the pnce OF he STOCK io
the purpose OF buying it all up and then commence
making their regular dividends OF four five per cent
semi. annually Is this fair Would 1t not be more
equitable 10 make small dividend OF say three per cent
ON the first of January and continue that policy every
six months leaving the surplus as sinking fund Inns
the Company assured, are well able to DO ana
think in justice TO their old stocknoldets tn"y are
bound 10 doit.
The Directors probably understand the true policy to
be adopted sufficiently well without prompting From
what learn the probability is strong that d'i
dend will be made next January.
Another effort is being made 10 obtain subscrlh-
ors to the capital stock Of the Buffalo and Hornets
Vile Railroad One hundred and ten thousand dollars
have already been obtained Boston capitalists have
agreed to take the balance after s2300o shall have been
subscribed elsewhere.
The York Bank, Pa has declared q semi annual
dividend of four per cent.
The Hagerstown Bank has also declared half
