We are informed by dealers in wha, termed out
aide secuIiesby which Is meant securities that are
not called at the Brokers Bosrd-that an unusual
quiet prevails IN those securities, arising partly from
the general want of faith in the speedy reSusctaon Of
Western matters but chiefly from preference given
to securities producing q reliable income, however
sn ALL The bonds of the Western cities which have
failed TO pay interest are saable at from 80 TO so y
cent but there are few transactions, because hold
ere, having faith in their ultimate payment, sell
only as their necessities compel tberl TO. The
difficulty in organizing the House, and the
dissolution speeches are having but little efe,t upon

cation Of the opinions of this intelligent and observant
portion Of our people 10 the stability of political
institutions could be dese than is to be found in the
fact that the bonds of Southern States and cties COM
n.nd nearly high prices now, making allowance Tor

Of TIE House have gradually appreciated in market
value until they are in demand at 92l to 80 per cent
rate far exceeding what would be considered their real
value, If there any doubt Of speedy election Of
Speaker of the lower House of Congress. That the
same feeling pervades thinking men residing in the
| Southern States and owning shares in Northern
porations is shown in the fact that although they
talk Of ceiling and make msuy inquiries az to market
values, the cases Of selling are infrequent
