The IadcDcndebt of the present week says;
"From almost every important point West we have
received intelligence the past week from travelling cor
respondents OF the most encouraging character bus
ness has greatly improved in consequence OF the hne
sleighing The depth of snow has not been so great
as to prevent free communication IN almost every u
dull Winter, and the merchants, especially in the IN
terror towns at distance hom railroads, suiier eA-
ceedngly Produce cannot be moved to any great
extent and business drags heavily with all classes.
'In consequence of the great activity in business
we hear no complaints of the scarcity of money among
Western merchants. Such being the case, they are
able to meet their payments with great puhcI aalty.
Stocks of goods on hand are reported generally very
low Many of the larger dealers already on their
way to New-York for Spring goods The lob6mg
trade Of this city, therefore, promises to De earlier than
A {. fo;i,, hoe Inherent
points wit hin few days past, but there has oeen no
Winter for years when so little money has been lost
A retail dry-goods house in Buffalo OF considerable
importance has lately suspended payment
1.-THE demand for money among the lobOlng mer-
chants except for duties has been much less pressing
during the past week. On the 18th of May the sales
TO this class of business community usually term
nate. The payments, consequently, Tor last Sprlng
purchases lat eight months) have nearly AL matured
From May Is to August the transactions are very
small. The demand for money, therefore, IN TINS par
ticular branch Of trade, will continue 10 fail on, we
think until the middle of March or the first of April,
when the early fall purchases will begin to mature"
There is no change in the tone of the foreign let
tiers by the Baltic from those received by the Africa
The writer's speak of a stringent Money market,
although not more so than before, and are generally
dsLelievers in peace. An advance in the Bank rate
Of interest is anticipated. The depression in Consols
appear to have been mainly the result OF the growing
doubts in regard TO peace and the understanding that
n new English loan would soon be on the market.
Trade and commerce appear to be active and healthy
II WAS thought that considerable amounts of gold
would begin to arrive from the seat OF war IN the
East in payment of the large amount OF goods sent
to that quarter. We hear of a few Government
State Stocks sent out for sale, and we hear also OF
orders for various stocks and bonds to the amount OF
one OF two hundred thousand dollars.
The Bank of France Statement was considered In
London as unfavorabe, as notwithstanding the large
purchases of gold, the bullion was down to $4,000
600, loss of f772 900 during the month. The Presi-
dents Message was looked for with much anxiety.
Baring's Circular says:
For American Stocks the demand still continues
very limited A small parcel of Virginia Sterling 5s
has been done at 81 j. and of Pennsy vana 5s Bonds
at so; there are buyers of the Certificates at 70, ex
div with none on SALE Canada 6s, 100,

MrEF SatteIthw ate reports as follows:
Although prices came very high from Newly ork,
we have in London no activity in American Securities

Construction and Freeland Bonds are fully T. cent
below the prices received by the Baltic Transactions
have been very limited"
