New YORK, August l5 1851
The money market continues dull. Capitalists
are making preparations to deal in government in.
stead of mercantile paper, and brokers look for
considerable activity in Treasury notes and United
States stocks.
There Is rather more frmness in foreign bills.
The leading bankers ask 1917 again for sterling
and $500 for francs We hear Of sales of bankers
bills at 1917, and of good mercantile bills at 1867
lO7. This rather unexpected advance in the rate
of exchange will discomfort the plans Of those who
were looking for revival of specie imports from
Europe. AT present rates it is losing operation
to send for gold from England.
Stocks continue dull, without much change from
the lowest prices of yesterday. Government secu-
rites are an exception to the market however.
The two year treasury notes (six per cents) ad-
vanced u per cent this morning; the new coupon
skies of 1881 rose to SO, and the fves of 1874 to
81. Itseems to be expected that we shall witness
a general advance in the funded stocks of the
United States, as the arrangement with the banks
contemplates no further issues of this de-
scription. When the SKIES touch 81, however, the
banks would probably be willing to grant leave to
the Secretary to avail himself of the provision in
the Supplementary Loan act which permits him to
issue skies at that figure. Iennessees Tell on Is,
and virginias a per cent this morning, with large
transactions. The scarcity OF these stocks causes
them to be maintained, notwithstanding the pros
pect that the Southern rebels will conscate all OF
those which are held in Northern hands. Htrans-
pires to-day that the scheme Of confscaton which
is now passing through the rebel Congress is q
shrewd trick intended to relieve the overburthened
State of Virginia Of o large portion of her debt.
Quite large proportion of the debt of Virginia is
held in the name of New York houses for foreign
ers. All of this will be wiped out by the contis-
eating bill Some operators and bankers affect to
disbelieve that this bill will become law. just
so the people of the North have been incredulous
with regard to every step in the pending rebellion.
Holders Of rebel State stocks will discover, sooner
or later, that the rebels are as much in
earnest in their schemes of reputation as they
were in their treason. Toledo, New York
