been holding meetings in this City this week, but
believe have as yet adopted no plans.
There is almost complete cessation in
transactions in Land Warrants.> The few ouis,and-
ing Mexican Warrants are held at about $40, but

will be made aSsignabe within few weeks, that
the demand is extremely limited.

have an easier money maIAe, than We have had for
many months
