better feeling and some symptoms of demand for
stocks; but the weakness of Reading soon became
contagious, and some leading operators moving
boldly on the bear side, prices gave way generally
Between the boards still lower prices were realized;
in the afternoon there was slight rally, but the
market closed inactive. Reading was the heaviest
stock on the list 1t opened at 39a, but sold down
to 37a between the boards, and closed in the after
roop at 3s bid, against 40 at the close Yesterday.

The stringency in the money market is unabated;
seven per cent is gladly paid by brokers, and
shrewd lenders obtain a commission besides. II is
likely that the banks are reducing their line in Or
der to keep pace with the decline in their specie
II the Treasurer at this point were to call on
the successful BIDDERS for the new treasury notes to
pay up the amounts Of their awards, it would pro-
duce quite q panic in the market. As it is, he
wisely grants delay till Congress organizes, thus
saving the government some needless expense for
interest, and sparing the banks some pressure
The parties who took their share of the new batch
of notes have not made much by the operation;
money cannot be borrowed on them st six, and We
presume. that airy quantity even of the six per
cents can be had at par. Some Of the old
notes bearing q per cent interest are being
turned into the treasury for redemption;
il the present stringency in the money mar.
ket lasts many days longer, all the overdue
notes bearing less than 81 per cent will be
paid in for duties. or presented for payment.
Should business hss>nssxtive this year, Mr.. Cobb
viii find his Treassp!soeroming back upon him
faster than is agreeable, and Congress will probar
bly, he asked to authorize reissue of Treasury
notes bearing seven per cent At the discount
houses the market continues steady; the very best
short acceptances go at per cent? but first class
business paper, a 6 months to run, can be had at
from to 10, and very good paper, snch as was
lately current at a s, sells at one per cent
