When The figures OF the Bark Statement were kno xn

infused rew strength into the market, which exhibited
itself at the Second Board where nearly every descrp
ton touched higher points than in the morning.
This was patty produced by the purchases of soms

This is certainly very satisfactory, and must en-
courage stockh oders 70 believe in the capacity of this
read to eventually give them some return on their IN
vestment
We hear as yet of but little inquiry for gold bars for
export this week The business of the Clearing
Honse was PASS, 900.
The Coyington and Lexington RaiLosd was sold at
Lexington KY under decree Of foreclosure, on the
9Th inst. The frat bid was made by j. +. ID. Lsnier
of this city, Of 81 500 000 for and in behalf of the
holders of the 100000 Cd mortgage bonds that
sum covering the st and I'd mortgag debts interests
and costs. The biddings finally ran up to - l2O Oo
at which price it was struck of to Il. Ii. Bowen esq
of Cincinnati, and other parties in Kentucky. The
bidding was quite spiritedthsre being three parties
or combinations wishing to purchase. The Cincinnati
interest Oay prevailed much to the benefit OF that
city, This road is doing good business its receipts
for the psst year reach $500 600, being 900 over
the year previous The line will now be put in good
Order Larger receipts expected for the year to
come. This sale puts the 2d mortgage bonds on high
ground and insures their payment.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 9Th says:
"The fret new Corn of the season was received on
the 9th by the Indianapolis and CINCINNATI Halrosd,
and we may hereafter look for heavy receipts 6y thai
road, the crop in Southern Indiana being very large
The weekly statement Of Bank averages Is sstsfsc-
tory in the specie line-much more than was antcl'
p.ted. The Contribution from the interior must have
been larger than was estimated The loan line shows
conservative action on the part Of the banks which
is calculated to inspire confidence in the stability OF
the money market. The Lesson Of 1851 has evidently
not been lost upon bank managers. IL has taught
them that ability in bank officer does not consist
exclusively in making large dividends The contrac-
ton Of the deposit line rtnuss partly the result OF
the decrease in loans and party Of the activity OF
money in the crop movements at the West, which
causes draSipg down Of balances. The line 10 now
| lower than it has been aimee the commencement Oh
| 1853.

condition of the Banks OF the City Of New-Iork;
