Is Money Scarce.

In our recent remarks with reference
to the pressure in nancy matters, we tool
occasion frequently TO express the be
lief that the stflngency was attributed tc
want Of confidence, rather than TO de
liciency in the supply of capital The
facility with which loans are btaineC
when first class security is offered, fully
establishes the accuracy of this opinion
There is really no scarcity of money
There never was better supply capita
in the country than at the present lime.-
The bids for the New York Canal Loan
show how eager capitalists are to make
sale investments. The amount adver-
tsed for was s 900 900. at Sir per cent.
interest, The offers exceed six million
dollars. and at rates varying from par
to 2006 percent premium, and on the
whole amount Of the loan a premium Of
l64 to 2006 per cent was realIzed.--
Tqus parties were found anxious 20 pay
an average premium of $l8 on the 500

1DoLATRY IN JAPAN.-An officer in the U. 8.
frgaate, Powhattan, writing from Japan, says
"ldolatry is everywhere to be seen, even more
than in China, and statuary seems to be very
common The grave yards are full Of rude
sculptures, and images of gods and heroes, placed
there as tutelar guardians on the tombstohes, or
for,some such purpose. Tbetan letters andsen.
tepces are used as.charms about the graves, no
one knowing at all what they mean; if they, were
intellisible, the charm would be broken. Tenn
pies are common, and wayside divinities present
their weather-beaten faces every few rods"
