Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1852-1859, 1858-04-26


following interesting summary of commercial
news for last week:
lFromthe Herald's Money Markell
Money continues to be abundant; il anything
il grows easier. Large amounts can now be
had by the brokers on first class securities at
4a4 10 percent; and the prevailing opinion IN
the street seems to be that there can be no
change for the worse until the fall trade sets in.
Even then there is no likelihood of the CONNER
cial movement being of sufficient magnitude to
absorb any very large portion of the capital
now lying idle at the financial centres, and the
impression gains ground that for many months
it must find its principal employment in the
stock market. The strong market of yesterday
held good throughout the day to-day, in spite of
The business done at the boards, though not
large, was fair average for dull times. 1t was
noticed that most of the buying was confined to
the commission houses. This steady though
moderate buying by the outside public has al
ready caused so great scarcity of stocks that
as much as one per cent is freely offered TO"
thirty day option to deliver. This condition of
the MARKETS very favorable for sudden and
violent upward movement; it only seems to need
the first impulse to renew the scenes of
last February. The outside spectators are
waiting till the impulse is given, and when it is
will buy freely at much hi CHER prices than those
ruling to-day. Accounts from several of the
April, notwithstanding the dull times.
[From the Tlmes.I
Money is cheap and abundant, on short loan,
to-day; Exchange dull; Cotton buoyaDt with
large sales, and Stocks firm on n moderate bust
ness. The absence of advces from the overdue
steamer at Halifax was no check upon the buy
ers of Cotton, who took about 5000 bales at
very full prices AS the news will probably be
at hand in season for this paper, our readers will
know with what sort Of Judgment the trade have
anticipated it At all events there is evidently
growing confidence in the staple, notwithstand-
ing the terrible shock to consumption by the
crisis of last FALL as the season advances. The
Southern markets are nearly all reported active.
The purchasers being mostly destined for Eng
land, the effect upon exchange is to dull the
rates on London, which we quote sa4 per cent.
weaker than on Monday; business in the first
class names, los 3-4 per cent; the extremes
10S 3.4a109.
[Prom the Tribune.l
The tone-of the Stock Market was very dull at
the mornings board, and there but little
disposition on the part of spectators to operate
to any extent, either for the rise or fall. 1t was
evident, however, that prices had touched sub.
stratum of firmneSs, and although quotations
hung through the session at about the closing
quotations of yesterday, there was an appear
ance of sluggish strength which indicated an
improving tendency on general scale. Since
the decline in Erie yesterday, the stock has been
of the short interest calculated to bring about
the same scarcity again, as soon as the opposing
party decide to take advantage of the peculiar
condition of the market. The sales at the FIRST
Board show but slight variation in leading stocks,
and the transactions were not large III any par
ticular security.
