MONEY AND STOCK MARKET.


WAsHIEGToE, Augesi 1, 1851.
The large shipments of coin to Europe excited
some alarm in New York during the week, and
caused quite scarcity Of money. The banks.
curtailing their loans, forced large amount Of
stocks on the market, which caused decline in
many of them. Yesterday confidence aeemed 10
be somewhat restored, and prices were frmer,
with a tendency TO improve. Money was also
easier. II is thought the shipments OF coin to Eu
rope will now fall of, while the receipts from Cal
iiornia will show large increase. There is con-
siderable inquiry for the different railroad bonds
quoted in the list; many persons selling Govern
ment and other high priced stocks and investing
in those considered as safe and paying a better
interest
The Little Miami Railroad must prove profit
able investment, the net profits paying dividend
of five per cent for the last six months and leaving
surplus Of forty thousand dollarsi the receipts
increasing and expenses decreasing. Its seven
Der cent bonds convertible into the stock at option
Of the holder, are considered among the best in
vestments offered.
The earnings of the Vermont Central and Can
ada Railroad for June. 1851, were $50,5ld 40, and
for the six months $273,62s SO.
The New Jersey Central Railroad Company will
pay the interest on their mortgages bonds on the
LIST of August, at No. Wall street, Office Of John
Johnston
The debt of the city Of Cleveland, Ohio, amounts
to 439 0O0 Of which $4,000 is local debt, and the
remainder issued to railroad conpsxaeG, for which
the city took the stock in lieu of their credit The
dividends from these stocks are sufficient to pay the
interest of the $500 900, leaving nothing but the
interest on $4,000 TO provide for, The popula-
ton of Cleveland is - 900, and he yelle OF tax
abes about $7,000,00O

GREAT LAND SALE.-All the surveyed lands in
this district, amounting to near 100000 acrea,
will be offered for sale at this place i'll the month
of August next. This is, we believe, the largest
amount before offered for sale at any one time,
in any land district in the United States, and
braces tract of country extending nearly from
the Wisconsin river to the Mississippi, and north
to the head waters of the st. Croix. The first sale
will commence on the 4th of August, and close on
the 18th This sale will include the lands lying
on and between the Black, Chippeways OClare,
and Nominee rivers, which is valuable for its inn
mense tracts of pine and numerous water. powers
on those streams. The second sale commences on
the 18th Of August, and includes all the surveyed
lands between the Chippewa, Mississippi, and st.
Croix, which is of the finest sections offarming
land in the State and possesses advantages Of tim
Der, prairie and water not enjoyed by any other
portion of the West. Weapprehend that the lands
in this immediate vicinity, and along the borders
of Lake st. Croix and the Mississippi river, will
meet with ready call, and soon be thickly settled
by set of industrious and enterprising inhabi-
tants. The various tributaries of the st. Croix
furnish an abundance of water-power for manu-
featuring and numbering purposes, and the vast
quantities of pine to be found at the heads of these
streams will warrant the use Of any amount of
capital in building mills, and manufacturing lum
Der for the southern market, as well as our own.
