STATE STOCK.

An article under tho above caption in the sig of yester
day. is but continuation of the treatment which the pre-
sent Board Public Works have uniformly received from
tina, paper with addition of side blow the agents
Iected by the Board dispose of bonds Of the State
The by the Wing of the discontnuance OF
sales of stock at the treasury understand is correct
This order made for the simple and sufficient
that the Board Public Works had contracted sell bonds
10 an equal all the anticipated demands upon the
internal Improvement fund.- growing out Of existing appro
pations Under the circumstances continuation OF sales
at the treasury would have resulted 10 unnecessary and
unwarranted increase OF the public debt We also under
stand that Messrs Seden, Whers s. Co., have bonds
now sell State account but that they have still some
deliver under contracts time since made. This will
explain the apparent Inconsistency In the Of sales
that is published by the Whg "curious statement"
from which the inference is drawn that stock sold here
l06 while the time 1t sold of the State
at l0l TO I03" The explanation we understand it, is,
that the dates In the statement represent the times which
tho bonds dipere under anecedently made
The agents entered into contracts with certain persons
time when the market value of the bonds l0 deliver
from time time, bonds at that price, In the time,
the price of the bonds deprecated and sales made
the deprecated price the time that bonds previously sold
at higher delivered If This la the only evidence
the Vhig adduce, "hat the State Is in the hands of
shavers" think it will be long time before The editor
will snake out his case.'
