VIRGINIA CoUPoN BoEDs.-lt is announced in
New York that Messrs De Launey, Iselen e.
Clark, have just concluded purchase from Mr.
John Thompson, of Virginia per cent. bonds,
of 1868, for London account, the whole nego-
tiation amounting to nearly S 100000. The N.

red to on Tuesday, Of Virginia Coupon Sc, is tor full
e million OF dollars Il gives pleasure 10 say So
We desire to cast no unnecessary doubts On these
magnificent dolngs in Wall street"
At the New York Stock Exchange Saturday,
$1,000 Virginia SIS changed hands at slo5

A sale of $4,000 Virginia Coupon 6'a, was
negotiated in Baltimore last week, by Messrs.
Selden, Withers g. Co., Of Washington, at terms
not yet made public, ii is true, but yet believed
TO be highly favourable to tho credit Of the Sc
curities.
These sales certainly exhibit gratifying evil
dence of the wholesome condition OF Virginia
State Stock; but when We recoIlect that the Cou-
pons are payable semi-anauaIly in New York,
and the final redemption Of the bonds is provided
for by sufficient sinking fund, we see no reason
why they should not command as high premiums
az those of any other State in The Union of the
same class. The ability Of the State to meet all
his engagements is, and always has been, undoub-
ted.
