SECOND BOARD.
"WEDNESDAY, July l6-P. n.

The transactions ct the Board to-day were lsrEe.
but the market generally was heavy with lit
tie recovery of f'mDess at the close. Thero
seems to be no special reason for the gen
ersl heayiness to-day, except the realizing VI
profits by parties who bought at lower prices and the
apprebe nsors that before the moLth ont the mDAey
market will become tighter. At present there IL ~
difficulty in carrying st.cks and but for the cOatiDued
large specie shipments, which sppear b indiosse
a necessity, before many week., OF conrsS-
ton of bank loans, there would doubtless ~
strong speculative action ia the Stock market. mo
bear are operating this possibility of tight mony
market in the future, and are becoming again quito
short of the leading stocks. Should they be disaP'
pointed in their impressions in regard t, the moeey
market, ard some Of the leading money houses ddd
from til. m there will undoubtedly be another up wsrd
movement in the market, materially assisted by the
buyirg in of these shorts The shipments Of sPoeiS
have il is true been very large since the ls nst snd
cannot continue 10 much to exceed the receipts
without producing bank contraction; but o.
the other hsnd it is the opinion of many well informed
parties that the shipments during the remainder Of the
season will not be large Of late aud that within
the next thirty days there will be renewal Of the de-
Inand in England and on the continent for Amedoaa
securities to great extent, which will furnish bills IN
place of considerable proportion OF the gold, which
would otherwise 90 ia the settlement OF the balance u
trade. There strong indications in the foreign
letters of this revival a investments Of foreign
cepita in our securities and the effect has already
been felt. Within our knowledge, not less thss
two and bali millions Of American Stocks and }eods
have been purchased with foreign capital within q
bri, peroo and lo doubt the amount is much larger.
Tie rec ucor of interest in London will tend TO induce
these Investments, well as to retain foreiga capta
