New YoRK MONEY MARKET, Thursday evening, July
2l.-rhere is more activity in the money market. and
with better demand, money call is bringing six per
cent, for prime security. with sbor, loans a,
higher rate. The regular Wall brokers are quite
nlirposed to take hold Of any speculaons on their own
account and the outside operators who furnished the
tive power for the last great turn in stocks will put
their fingers into the crucble again. There is
class OF mining stocks which have been brought into
market 10 the very great profit Of the original projectors
and which ma pay 10 the stockholders large dividend
upoa their present market value. We do not wish 10
express any opinion in regard to their intrinsic worth
DO think reliable valuation can be given to them
by any public writer who has had no PRACTICAL expe-
eEce IN mining, and who must acquire all his data from
interested parties But we wish 10 notice movement in
connexion with them, in some cases dangerous to the
publc which be considered apart from the question
Of their real value We aude 10 The investments made
in them by men Of small means. (and some without any
means at ALL solely for the purpose of speculation If
merchant has surplus capital, and above the wants
OF his business he may buy stocks with il, If he thinks
best, although in that case the probability is that
specuations of this will draw his mind from his
business. and snft him for more legitimate pursuits
But for the young who has his fortune all TO make
and who has not dollar of capital 10 spare to buy
shares in mining any other company, with view
OF selling GU, again al an enhanced price when the
scheme is more fully developed, is not only 10 peril bis
own in his regular BUSINESS but il tends also 10
unhiDge his mind and give him dis,asie for laborious
pains taking empoymens, and a contempt for the slow
accumulatons OF honest industry. There is no royal
road TO anything truly valuable and wealth could
be seized in the manner which many to expect and
afeIwsrd retained its possession, after such acquisition
would no, be source OF enjoyment
Our readers will remember that difficulty has
occurred IN relation TO the paymen, OF the interest on
the portion OF the United States per cent stock which
matured on The first instant and was redeemed by Simon
Draper, esq. The department has decided TO pay it, in
accordance with The understanding of the holders here
