"rhe new Canal loan Of the State Of New
York of one million of dollars, was taken on
Thursday, January 18th, .at,an average Of !; LA
81 per &lOO 90. The loan made by New Horl.
in October last brought $l137lper $100 CO."
What contrast the above presents to the
shameless sacrifice made Of Ohio credit in the
New York marketin October last! The State
officials at Columbus allege that they were com
PEELED to let the Ohio loan Of So, 100000 goat
$10S 50 per S10o %. If there had been far
end competent management on the part Of the
State, who believes that such sacrifice would
have been necessary? During the three years
immediately preceding Black Republican rule,
there was scarcely month when Ohio stocks
having twenty years to run, could be bought in
the New York market at even double the pre-
MUM at which the recent loan for longer period
was parted with by the Columbus officials.
That there has boen something wrong in this
matter, is evident, and we shall wait with some
anxiety to see what action the State Legislature
may take on the subject Ns,ga,k A@vocdte,
