none OF that hesitation with which new article i.

proof of their excellence. The following are few
of the reasons for their popularity:

HONEY AND STOCK MARKET.

WAsMEoros, July Is, 1851
There has been no great change In the money
market during the past week, and very little doing
in stocks. There is, however, large amount Of
money seeking permanent investment, and good
six or seven per cent bonds IN demand. Con-
siderable sales OF Chesapeake and Ohio Canal bonds
have been made during the present week at s4as4I
The demand for Corporation and Bank Of Metropolis
stock exceeds the supplyi the former has been sold
ut Z and the latter at q, and the Bank Of Wash
ngton at rs 10. st. Louis six per cent. bonds
meet with ready sale at 93l and interest So many
of the bonds of the Wilmington and Manchester
Railroad Company having been taken above 50,
and many at par. we may expect those who were
fortunate enough to secure some below the above
price will realize good advance.
The shipments of specie for the present week
have been upwards of million and half dollars
This will be more than balanced by the receipts
from California, which now daily expected.
The Northern Bank of Kentucky have declared
dividend of five per cent for six months.
The business of the Southern Michigan railroad
continues TO show large gain. The earnings for
the month of June 1851 and 1850 were

The above exhibit of the earnings sfthe Southern
Michigan railroad is perhaps without parallel in
railroad profits. II will be seen that the profits
nearly three hundred per cent. greater than last
year. and they were then sufficient to justify a
dividend at tho rate of fourteen per cent. per
mum. There nre few Of the seven per cent. bonds
of this company for sale, and, Judging from the
price at which they are quoted in our list, they
must DO an excellent investment.
The, third annual report of the Louisville and
Frankfort Railroad Company states that the work
is completed, and that the receipts of the year have
been S40.263 80. leaving profit of $l6.533 ~.
