There 10 quotabe change in discount rates at pm
vate banking houses. The scarcity OF very strong pa
per- which would 60 at az cent, is still more EVIL
dent and negotiations mostly in class oil names
which though holding very fair rank in the market
are not included among the very select signatures
For these the range of discount is IN TO l. cent,
with scattering transactions up 70 ID. The banks make
liberal selections from their offerings, but do not md
enough of acceptable character to expand to any
material extent though in good condition 10 afford
much greater accommodation. No apprehensions seem
now to be entertained in regard to the effect of the
resumption Of specie payments, and people VINO
at first pronounced the movement premature
now acknowledge its wisdom, and its advantages IN the
gradual restoration OF the equilibrium of Domestic tx
changes and in giving credit and character to our cur
rency. The Bank Statement for the week will be gen.
orally favorable showing fair increase OF Specie ana
moderate expansion of Loans. domestic Exchange
is gradually turning against the City and the receipts
from the Interior though still TO some extent in the
redemption of Currency, on the diminishing scale
Boston and Philadelphia both drawing Coin irom
us to moderate amount, and the foreign outgo VIII DE
large during the week
rrl. al in
dispatches, is quite satisfactory in all items bearing
rpon financial matters showing rapid improvement IN
the position of the Bank of England a much easier
state Of the discount market, and constant accumi-
lation Of capital at the great centers of trade and
finance, after the storm has fairly passed over the
points attacked. England and France now fast
getting into the same condition witnessed in New
York-money gathering up in heaps under the immediate
control OF its propreos refused to the wants OF trade
which meanwhile augushes, and serving for the time
but one useful purpose viz that of bringing back con-
fdence to those who have been drawing in their re-
sources from all quarters to the general disturbance
and alarm of good portion of the whole mercantile
world.
The next phase of the Disorder will be, perhaps an
over anxiety TO employ this very money so Violently
torn from its various channels of employment; this
leading to low rates of interest brings naturally in its
train feverish impulse to trade aud enterprise OF
every description. If in this reaction we escape wild
and excited speculative movements, it will DO for
tundte.
We have received copy of Circular issued by
Mr.. A. G. Flagg, who is Treasurer OF the Company,
addressed to the stockholders Of the Chicago and
Rock Island Road The intention of the Circular ap-
pears to be to give the public the Information that Mr.
Facg opposed the declaration Of the stock dividend IN
January last and opposed il on the ground that IT was
unjust to the convertible bondhoders. The Circular
makes pamphlet Of 81 pages and it is little difficult
to discover from it why Mr.. Flagg in his individual
capacity felt call TO issue it.
