from strangers ana examine well. Our
officers are on the alert and we hope will be
successful in their efforts to ferret out the
impostors. Wheeling Intelhgeacer.
The New York Herald, perhaps comes to
correct conclusion in the following, although
it differs much from the views heretofore
entertained by that print:
"A few weeks ago the position of financial
affairs in England was such as to induce us to
believe that orders would come out by every
steamer for the return of foreign capital
temporarily invested here. Since that time
circumstances have occurred on the other side
Of u character to remove all such apprehensions,
and strengthen the opinion that what foreign
capital we have, will not only remain among
US but that it will increase as rapidly as it has
at any previous time. The reduction in the
rate of interest on portion of the national
debt Of Great Britain is calculatedto turn the
attention Of British capitalists more directly
to American securities; and we have no doubt
it will have a very favorable effect not only
upon quotations for our stocks, but upon the
demand for them. The proceeds ofimportation
from Great Britain this spring probably have
not been remitted to the extent anticipated,
in consequence of this change in the position
of financial affairs in England. We cannot
account for the reduced rates ruling for
exchange, and limited outward movement Of
specie, in any other satisfactory way, and are,
therefore, disposed TO accept this version OF
the matter. It is fact, that within the last
week or two, the money market has been
steadily but gradually softening. We do not
look for any reaction, but on he contrary
anticipate, before the expiration of tn month
Of June, great ease and abundance in money
matters.
