and at the opening considerable frmness exhibited
but at the close quotations generally showed decline
yesterday prices There vas fair demand for shares
for covering shorts, but the time transactions were
limited, and for buyers options especially there was
little or no deGand. The dep cssed feeling which was
exhibited the receipt of the aGvces Missouri

The action of the Bank Committee the Government
loan, although yet adopted by the banks at large
had favorable influence in strengthening the market
The advance however, was not very material between
the boards there fair activity in stocks some ad-
vance on the board prices and this rmness connued at
the second board.
The Herald Of same date says:
he banks Of the cities of New York Philadelphia and
Boston have at length agreed with the Secretary of the
Treasury for the money required by government The
committee met this morning and after discussion
agreed report in favor Of the purchase by the
S5o00o 0G0 of 10 per cent Treasury the banks

the conmittee-ed by gentlemen whose hostility 10 the
whole negotiation marked-voted down the proposal.
The money market continues dull Paper scarce,
and capitalists content to await the development of
the schemes for supplying the government with money.
On call with sound collateras the brokers borrowing
at iG5 per cent
The foreign exchange market closed dull, with down
ward tendency. Rates must fall lower yet before it
be profitable to import gold. Bankers ask l0714 for
sterling aad 35 for francs.
The Herald also says:
Letters received here to day from the South mention
that bill has been introduced into the Confederate Con
gress Richmond, coniscatng all Southern bonds and
evidences of Southern State Indebtedness which not
registered by certain date the property of citizens
the Confederate States of citizens of nations peace
with them. 1t is added by the etterwrers that the bill
will probably become a law. We thus enabled to
understand the heavy purchases of Southern bonds which
have been made for Southern within the past
month. No idea b. formed of the amount of Vir
ginas Tennesse' Louisianas and Georgas
held at the North Perhaps s35 coo 00O will cover the
whole amount held, including the bonds in the hands of
savings banks here and banks of issue at the West The
whole must be considered valueless We take plea
sure in recalling, in thus connection the repeated
ings have given readers against purchasing any
of the bonds of the rebel States.
