MONEY MARKET.
Sunday, April 23-S p. NJ.


Tho stock market during the past week, has been ra
thor quiet and prices remain without any material al
teraton, The late advces from Europe have had no
particular influence upon our markets. and every thing
appears TO be stau quo. We see nothing calculated to
give any great activity to the stock market or to have
IL favorable influence upon prices. Money is plenty
much so as expect it to be in times of the
greatest prosperity; and still there indications Of
any improvement any of securities but those
the government. Every thing depends upon our re!a
tions with Mexico With the prosperity existing in
ry department of trade and commerce. there would be
the greatest imitation in commercial affairs 1t
for the hostities existing between this country and
Mexico. In the event Of peace with Mexico, there
would be immediate relief in the financial affairs Of all
classes, and such increase in public confidence
would tend to rapid advancement in the market value
Of all public securities We cannot admit that tho
Mexican war has in fact injurious effect upon our
commercial and financial affairs; tho imaginary effect 10
doubt sufficient to dcprcss things slightly and at
times considerably, and tho nero fact that exists
cannot but have bad influence upon all financial
operations. There is not, in opinion, the
most remote probability Of peace with Next
co being very soon brought about, but the war will
hereafter be attended with very little expense the
enemy will be compelled to foot the bills fast they
created. The tariff of duties established by
government upon all goods imported into
Mexico, 1T Is estimated, will net n revenue OF
about ten millions of dollars, and a direct tax
be levied in the cities of the interior, upon pub
lie and private property upon tho churches and the
clergy to make up any deficiency in the expenditures
oar and above the from customs. Those
Intimately acquainted with the Spanish character,
Of the opinion that the Mexcans will make
treaty of peace long armies upon their
rory and navy in their waters If that Is the case
shall never have peace with that country until we
have revolationzed the people, and made them feel the
influence of our institutions We shall be obliged
tabsh military government in the city Of Mexico to
garrison every city, to retain Of every seaport
and to adopt system Of contributions for the purpose Of
raising funds to meet all the expenses We shall then
which country will hold out tho longest Fortunate
ly for there vast amount of wealth in Mexico and
there other people the face of the earth
calculated to turn this wealth advantage as the uni
rcrsal Yankee nation. Under the indomtable energy
and perseverance, of the Americans the mines of Mexico
would become immensely productive, and the mineral
resources Of that country would become rapidly devel
opsd. II the Mexican people, the Mexican leaders,
persist in carrying hosttes with the people of this
country there will be alternative for but to take
possession Of the whole territory from the Gulf to the
Pacific cut it into States appoint Governors support
them with proper military force and mako the Next
pay the piper. The evils and burdens of war will
be removed and the people of that beautiful but
much abused priest-ridden country will have to
bless the day we invaded 1t.

for stocks In this market for each day of the past
week. and at the close of the week previous 1t will DO
perceived that there has boon material alteration In
