There was a large amount Of business doue at the
Stock Board this morning, with an eguar marker,
some descriptions showing an improvement, Whhe
others were lower. There was good demand Tor cash
Stock not only to Gil for shorts, but from parties VINO
buy for Investment. At the Second Board the feeling
was heavy especially in Reading, which fell of to 49i
having been 50 in the morning. This stock is unfavor
ably affected by the in regard to the amount
of its floating debt, and the price at which
i.s paper s selling, to p cent per
month. 1t YVES also depressed this afternoon ~
current reports of the failure of the Union Canal

somewhat and left off lower. Erie q d2ll; South

chases at the Second Board under the rule. Cash

We hear of $l50000 engaged for the steamer to-
morrow The specie by the Cahawba, alluded to yes
terday was $50 900 Mexican dollars Gold continues to
come in freely from the interior, Philadelphia, Boston,
&c and the letters from the West state thai must
tinue TO come from that direction as Exchauge is
scarce and high. One bank received to-day
Sl50000 from Boston. The uncurrent money
brokers continue to buy at high and irregular
rates but the market is gradually becoming quiet, and
rates approximating to those ruling previously The
banks and brokers throwing out the notes of Oliver
Lee g. Co.'S Bank, Buffalo, the Bank of Dandy, VI,
and the Niagara County Bank, LockpOrt. The former
closed It's doors oday, its means being largely LOGGED
up, and it having privately been under protest since
Wednesday. The President of the latter was robbed
yesterday the Central cars of $50 600 in securities
which loss has probably been the occasion of this
action on the part of the brokers' An attempt being
made day to raise money to enable the l-land Cty
Bank to continue business. The amour. needed,
we understand, is only twenty thousand
dollars The circulation is very small. Tue
demand for Money continues active both on call and
on paper The rates of the latter as We have before
reno,ted show decliue of to T. cent on the high
est rates of the week. First class names, however,
sti 90 at l2 10 cent and in some cases still higher
On call higher than legal rates of interest freely
paid and lenders not disposed to part with their
funds The leading bsDbng-houses have accumu'
lated very large balances in bank preerrng to hsve
in immediate control FOR the present their funds, aud at
the same time strengthen their Banks. This hoadiog
however will soon be abandoned if no serious dsas
ters occu, in the financial world. notwithstanding the
sringency in Money the street wears more cheerful
,snect and in the absence of further city fa ures the
reaction of panic from the West produces but htle
excitement Il is generally conceded that our Money
market will continue tight during the Fall, but with
shortened sail this viii not be seriously felt.
