MONDAY. Feb. I6-P. N

There was a very active Stock market this morning,
with no special features the market being sustained at
about Saturday closing prices The decline OF last
week has brought in some buyers, and considerable
amount of short stock also taken in. At the Sec
ond Board, after the figures of the Bank Statement
were made known, there was very buoyant feeling,
more especially manifested in Michigan Southern and
Cleveland and Toledo. The former sold as high as
&c, and the latter at 723 with large sales. This is an
advance of y cent in Southern and y cent In To-
ledo. Rock Island was firm at 9SI; Central, $50.
Reading shows an improvement of per cent, closing
at 49, Hudson River was heavy, and sold at %. The
damage by the late freshet said to be very great,
beside the interruption of traffic. Cumberland ia l75,
and heavy. Illinois Genital bonds were hrmer, and
sold at $751; In other descriptions there is very little
doing The transactions in State stocks were large,
$65 OO0 and prices rather frmer. Missouri 6s
sold at the Second Board at S3i CALIFORNIA; are 90 G6oI
Private letters by the last steamer express the opinion
that the popular vote will without doubt be in favor OF
legalizpg the whole debt. Vrginias sold at 81 and
Tennessee 6s at VI.
After the Second Board there more disposition
TO sell the leading ancies, and the market In some
| descriptions was lower.
The market for foreign Exchange is lower and unset
tied. The prominent drawer put his rate for Sterling

The business of the Clearing House was $33 1000.
The money market on cali appears to be less active
than at the opening of last week, and the supply
rather better. We hear but few complaints to- day in
stock circles The receipts of gold from the interior
are only to moderate extent to-day, WHILE on the con-
,rary Geographic orders have been received from
New Orleans by banking house here to send more
gold at present. The Empire City has 800, 900 en-
gagged, but this nay be countemsnded; she was to
have left tomorrow but her day has been changed to
| Thursday The steamer for Liverpool on Wednesday
will have $500 600, and this, ii is understood, will
probably close the foreign shipments for the
present. With the foreign and New-Orleans
drain stopped the Banks will only have the Sub-Treas
ury to contend with. 1t is confidently stated, how
ever by the importers that the Spring goods are now
nearly all in but the statements made last
Spring, and proved untrue If the importatons should
materially fall off the Government disbursements might
be sufficient to keep down the ac,umulations Of the
Treasury. We fear, however, this will not be the re-
suit and that unless some means adopted before
the adjournment Of Congress to dpete the Treasury
rously the amount locked up viii be so grea. before
the next session paraze trade and commerce and
| bring ON a general financial crisis.
1t was currently stated in the street to-day that the
| Sub-TIeasury would pay out TO morrow or next day
$50 OO0 on account of the purchase by Government
| of the Brick Church property.
The Bank Statement of the week shows a contrac-
ton in all the items but in both loans and specie less
than we anticipated. A portion of the contraction
which was felt in the street has been countersced by
the increased loans of the Shoe and Leather. The
loss Of specie SOLO the expectation of the street
being 8, 100000. The nominal deposits show de-
crease Of g. 100 Co., but sowngfor the smaller amount
of transactions at the Clearing House there has been
DO change worthy Of notice, the uadrawn deposits BE-
