against the market appears have led outside
orders to buy, and none to sell. From ali that
learn we infer that the of bids for the public loan
be awarded Saturday next will at least equal the
amount required by the government and may it,
No general consultation has been held among the
bankers here the subject. 1t is understood
however that one or two parties are making up combi
nation bids for large amounts very wide difference
OF opinion appears to exist with regard the rate at
which the loan i'll be awarded. The skies of 1863 with
only seven years to rum sold this morning-an odd lot
at 80 The brokers report that get 600 of them it
would be necessary to give ss9loo The bonds are
OF course more desirable than the bonds of 1862 they
have thirteen years to The domestic exchan-
ges are working more evenly. From table kept by Mr.
Van Week perceive that at New Orleans and Mobile
the exchange New York at par so that shipments
OF gold to the South end At the tow ms of Vr-
gina and North Carolina exchange rules at 516 nre
MUM, and at Chicago and the Illinois and Wisconsin
and Iowa cities at 6S per cent. premium The people
OF me vest ought not to allow this winter to pass
without establishing new and sound banking law.
The New York Commercial of Wednesday, says
There is considerable conversation on the street about
the prospects of the Government loan of eight millions of
six per cent the bids for which opened on Sat
proportion will be bid for by parties out of this city and
that the bids from the New England States will be to
liberal amount As to price, the option seems prevalent
that the average will be over ninety per cent

The Cincinnati Gazette says:
An important suit has just been commenced by the
Little Miami Railroad Company iE the Superior Court
against the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad Company to
test the question of whether the present Company
titled successors of the original Marietta and Cncin
na Company, to any of the benefits and privileges of
the contract made between these roads for the joint
pancy of the track between Cincinnati and Loveland and
IN case the Court decides that it is then Miami Com
pany asks for an injunction to prohibit the Marietta
Company from violating said con tract by cutting the
rates OF freight or to declare the contract rescnded and
annulled.
The Philadelphia Ledger, o. to day, says:
Within the last week we have had reports of many
five six failures. The effect of these are to stop
pretty nearly all street negotiations of paper and only
the very best bills offered The banks dis
counting most OF the good paper growing out of current
business offered while that which acceptable to
operators is done at el0 per cent Call loans rule
al per cent, and paper at all questioned cannot be
placed reasonable terms 1t is almost universally
ruled out There is rather stir in business circles
and some few orders have been filled during the past
week, The registers at several hotels gradually
filling up, and among the list Of many politicians are
found an encouraging sprinkle of of Western and
Southwestern merchants.
There is some anxiety to the collection of revenue

is pprehended that if the Southern Confederacy under
