MONEY. STOCKS AND BUSINESS.

In regard TO the eastesn money market, the
New York Commercial Advertiserol the 24th
inst. holds the following Language
The sixteen million loan was negotiated
upon more favorable terms than was gener-
ally anticipated. the rate being considered
high in view OF the peculiar state OF thllgS
affecting the value OF every species OF proper
ty both here aud in Europe. although low
compared with the price which securIues 81
such ] character command when the general
state oiaiiairs is not calculated to operate un-
iavorably upon them.
The stock OF our w state is very largely
absorbed as the basis of our bank note cIrcu-
laion, and a similar remark will apply TO mat
of Ohio, (though not to 80 great an eXteni)
the two state stocks current at our stock eX~
change, winch com nand the highest prce.-
The debts Of other states which sell at ornear
par. are much smaller in amount aud the
quantity offering in market is very moderate
these as we'll as the others in question being
held both Tor domestic and foreign invest
ment.
The bonds OF the Erie railroad bearing
seven per cent interest, can be purchased
some SIX per cent less than the stock OF The
Government beati.g only SIX per cent inter
est. We suppose there is no question about
the security OF the former, bat being less gen
orally known and understood than The latter,
the number y no are willing to purchase them
Is moIs limited, and hence those who are
willing, have 50 much the greater inducement
presented 10 them.
The settlement Of the loan question upon
terms considered so advantages has aided IN
restoring confidence and the confidence and
the general belief that a large amount Is golhS
abroad has affected the rate oi bills OF eX-
change Tor which at the moment the demand
is moderate. individuals conversant with
the subject express the opinion that the ship
ments OF specie have nearly terminated, an
opinion which Tor general convenience II may
be hored will prove TO be we'll founded.
