SiA per Cehl lTcsssury hOtes are IN actlve demand
at o. paper moves very slowly and the right
names ar scarce. The appeal of the Secretary Of
the Treasu, the subject of general conversation
and divides public attention with the news from
st. Louis and Hatteras.
Foreign exchange, for the steamer of wednes.
day from Boston, ~ weaker. Bankers are selling
at 1914 x for ste~ling, and $685.. for francs.
There is very little inquiry for bills.
Stocks continue inactive; the advance which
the news from North Carolina was calculated
to cause was quite slight and was not maintained.
The coupon skies of 1881 rose to 50, with fair
business Tennessees and MssOuris were both ac-
tive, at an advance Of about u per cent. North
Carolinas were rather lower. Pacific Mail also fell
OF fraction. The speculative railway shares
were all rather better. New York Central ad-
vanced a Reading u, Galena 4, Toledo 4, Rock
Island 14-the only active shares on the list being
New York Central, Gaena, and Rock Island.
In an ordinary market the news OF the
day would have led to marked i'm
provement in prices and general recovery
of speoulation but so much uncertainty overhangs
the future of stocks end the railways are earning
SO little money, that people are discouraged, and
even those who would be best pleased to see an
upward movement are unwilling to become heavy
purchasers Between the boards and at the Sc
cond board very light business was done; the

Nearly quarter of million was paid into the
Sub-Treasury to-day by the people on account of
the national loan. Secretary Chasc's appeal
which will be found ia another column, enEOrces in
an eloquent manner the arguments we have fire.

machinery is in working order the subscriptions
to the loan will equal his expectations; but it is not
reasonable to expect that the pulc will pay their
money as freely before the Treasury notes are
ready as they will afterwards. There il a good
deal of talk about foreign bids for Treasury notes
Nothing so far as we can learn, has yet been de-
termined on the subject. Not only Germans but
Frsnchmen and Englishmen, will want Treasury
notes as as they !earn how eagerly they are
taken here. Probably half Of each fifty millions
placed on the market will be wanted abroad as
