Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1857-1865, 1857-12-14
The prices of the principal stocks, in the New

Illinois Central Railroad 90, bid 90.
The United States on the Sd of March last owed
$50, 04S, 900. From the Sd of March to the 30th
of June, she redeemed $9S3,O of her stock
From the lst of July to the 18th of October, she
redeemed $3,7ll 900. Since that time she has paid
off about Sl50, 900 of her debt. The present debt
may therefore be said to be S25 10000. Of this
sum about half 2462, 900, are held by for
eigners. 1t is likely, moreover, that the foreigners
will continue to hold this stock, for there is none
better.
The New York Post of Saturday afternoon, says:
Notwithstanding the inclement weather, there
quite active business done in the low grades
of -four at advance of five cents per barrel, but
this at the close reluctantly paid and only for
small parcels. The absence of demand tor ex-
port is very much felt. The stock begins to accu-
mulate gradually.
Wheat is very inactive, both millers and export
ers holding of. The orders by the America, we
understand are very small and at reduced limits
Corn is held rather higher, particularly old, which
is very scarce. Pork continues very heavy, and
with only moderate inquiry prices have further
ceded.
Lard is in fair demand in part for future delivery.
We hear of considerable sales for early January de-
livery at 10 cents. The large sale of 1900 hhds
city baaon for California, made yesterday, the
subject of general remark at the Corn Exchange, as
the quantity is unusually large for single opera
ton, and sufficient 10 supply that market for many
months to come.
The New York Post of Saturday afternoon, re.
ferring to the money market in connection with the
private and public accounts by the America, from
Europe, says
:, |. r.. ..
stock circles this morning, the mails per America
affording full details of the embarrassments on the
other side. The private letters are more hopeful
than the published accounts, and give unqualified
assurances that affairs were mending, particularly
among the bankers; distrust being much allayed i'm
mediately previous to the steamers sailing.
The New York Tribune, of Monday, says of the
money market:
The money market is without important change.
Strictly first class paper goes in the discount houses
freely at 7al2 per cent but the supply of this des
crlption, III consequence OF the unwilngness OF
leading houses TO make new engagements, is very
small. On call, money on favorte securities is OBJ
tanned without difficulty at per cent, and in ex
ceptional cases, loans made as low as sac per
cent.
The stock of Rio Coffee at Baltimore, on Satur
day, was 81, 100 bags. There was fair inquiry at
94allc for common to prime.
At Philadelphia, on Saturday, New York Ex-
change was l2a25 prem.
The Boston Post says:
To the indications already given of the revival of
business and the improvement of the times, We add
with pleasure that Fox & Rice's mill at Worcester
has recommended running; Chas. Washburn g. Son
have re-opened their large rolling mill at Qunsga-
mOnd; Saunders cotton mill in Saundersville, and
Skaters mill in WikiDsonville, Worcester county,
will also recommence running this week. Manu-.
facurers do not like to be idle any more than those
they employ.
The exports of specie from New York last week,
were Sl,S0S,750.
Railroad freights from Cincinnati to Buffalo have
from SO to soc on flour.
