Nothing Of d special character transpired to-
day. Tie telegraph brought no hurry. bnrlys dis
paschea3 and matters moved along quietly. The
movements ii and about the banks were confined

ing paper with some offers for the exchange now
on the market for sale. Some Would-be buyers
were called on for an offer for good sterling they
offered los, which is the highest buying rate, unless
for something very nice. The banks are selling
small sans at much higher rates, as several of
them have balances which have been lying over
for months, and, Of course, they must make a.
profit, or stockholders might complain when the
next dividend season comes round.
There have been several negotiations of paper
within the past three days at most exorbitant
rates, considering the character and strength OF
the security say pledge Of stock between SIS, 600
and 600 of loans have been carried through at
from Il o. and "a 59ct. per month rather heavy
interest for regular business
The old defnnct United States is in very tight
1 Nlace for the needful. The arrangement made for
the loan of $50 900 900 appears to be that this
is 10 be issued at in Treasury notes. which the
banks are to receive. On the 10Th of October
another issue Of $50 900 900 is to be made, and on
the 18th Of December the third and last batch Of
$50,000,000. But should these banks not work of,
Or force the circulation Of the first fifty millions

coin in their vaults Will they stand the pressure

any houses Of influence would be found willing to
act as agents IN sush an operation, fraught as it

SIR: Recent adFices from America leave no
doubt that an attempt will shortly be made to in
duce British capitalists to participate in the mon
ater loan which the Northern belhgerents have re-
solved to raise for the prosecution of the civil war
The question arises, will not every British sub

This behalf Of the law of nations In relation thereto
as they will answer to the contrary at their peril
IL Is TO be hoped that before Parliament separ-

intention of the Government to enforce strict neu-
trality, and IT, whether the law officers of the
Crown viii be instructed to prosecute all offenders
who may supply either belligerent with the sinews
of war. am etc., NEUTRALITY.
