Mlraskee, Feb. II, 1855
The money market continues TO be abundantly sup
Piled with capital seeking employment, while the IN
activity of trade is SO great that but little vent can be
found for through paper. The discount houses are
doing but little, and favore signatures can be pressed
low 5 d6 = cent. The current rate, however, s
: T. cent. There has been seldom small an amount
of good paper fvr sole in the street at present On
call the supply of money is in excess of the demand,
and the rates range from to e cent. The leading
stock houses have considerable amounts on loan at e
cent. Appearances indicate that this state Of plethora
will continue for some time TO come, and the prob
ability is that even lower rates of interest will be
touched. Under such state of things there can hard
ly fail to be an active and exciting speculative move
ment in stocks which must or later extend TO
merchandise.
This lack OF profitable employment for capital mas
attracted attention to the better class OF Railroad
Bonds and to State and City Bonds as avenues ofperma
nent vesmen This is forcibly shown in the Y cent
Bonds of the Michigan Central Railroad, which, taken
at 20, have within two three months advanced 10
100 City Bonds Of established reputation have been
absorbed to considerable extent at 81 10 T. cent i'm
provement. Cities which have not loaned their credit
Railroads stand deservedy the highest in the estimation
of capitals and nearly all the floating lots OF such
Cities have been taken off the market The absorp-
ton has already been large enough TO cause de-
cided advance in the market value OF most OF
those which are considered desirable for investment
Brooklyn 6s Chicago Is and IS, St. Louis ts, Cincin-
matt 6s and others find ready market and are steadily
advancing, while in the Boston market, Portland,
Hartford and Bangor is considered desirable secu
rites at about par. Beside these have daily trans
actions in the Stoke of various smaller Western cities,
such as Davenport KeOkuk Alton, WatertOwn, Mad
ison, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, &c Some of these last
named have issued their bonds for railway enterprises,
and in consequence of the embarrassment OF those
concerns TO which they have loaned their credit, have
been obliged to delay interest payment but az the
times improve, most OF them will doubt work into
better credit.
Among the frst-clsss Bonds, Brooklyn 6s take high
rank and Chicago IS and ~ though not often publicly
quoted are esteemed very desirable security on &C
count of the small city debt AID from the fact that its
loans all for municipal purposes, the entire deb.
being less than 81 OOO and the assessed value of
taxables amounting to more than s36 10000 600. The
