MoSEY.-There is very little change 10 nete
in the money market, which continues strin
gent, with an increasing demand and unless
the Legislature shall pass the bills making ap.
preparations 10 our Railroads, the prospect for a
better state of financial aft ,rs, soon, is poor.
In consequence of the large amounts loaned the
Railroad companies by the Banks, those instl'u.
tons are prevented from granting greater facll-
ties to the business portion OF the community,
and as the demand increases the street rates ad-
vance This difficulty would be to great ex-
tent obviated, by the passage OF the Railroad
appropriations which would put the companies
again in funds, thereby enabling them to re-
imburse the Banks, and at once the present
stringency would be removed. Such notes as
find their way TO the street are taken, first class
at 10 and IL per cent discount. But little de.
mand for second class, and rates are irregular,
ranging from ltG23 per cent. month.
EXCHANGE The rate for Eastern exchange is
still high, owing in some measure 10 the pro-
TO resume specie payments, from the lst OF
April 10 the LIST OF November We now quote
drafts on New York, Philadelphia, and Balti
more, at 2iG3 per cent.
STocKs.-There is very little capital seeking
investment in Stocks, and the market is mac
tive, though we have no change to note in
prices.
LAND WARRANTS are dull. We quote New
York rates as follows 40 acres 95G lOOc SOS
s5GS7c: l2O's sOGs3c., and zoos o5Go7c.

The Legislature.

If your readers would like to know what
the Legislature has done, thus far, during
the extra session, can inform them in one
word: Nothing. The question of mileage
is tine aborbing topic in the House. Last
night, Mr. Raymond, of Marion, occupied
almost the entire session with speech, In
favor of this compensation, after which the
resolution was laid upon the table. This
morning, Mr. Anderson, of Richmond. offer
ed resolution restricting speeches to fifteen
minutes, but objection being made, 1t hes
over. Mr. Anderson, undoubtedly, had Mr..
Raymond in his minds eye, when be propo-
sed the resolution. The last named gentle
man left for his home this morning, and un-
less the gag is applied he will exhaust the
vocabulary on his return.
Thus the House goes on. The Senate pro-
crosses well with the pubic business, but
finds no response in the other branch.
observe this morning handsome nag
of the Union waving over the House OF Del
ega,es, In place OF tue old blue flag of Nir-
GINA This may be designed as silent ap-
peal to the members, in behalf OF union and
harmony. Whether that desirable object
will be attained, or not, remains to be seen.--
The majority seem in no hurry to 20 to work,
and the session will probably continue two
months at least.-- Corr. of Petersburg Er-
