days Stock Market there's
The week closes with dull, unsettled
feelipg in the Stock Market. There is not
the /, ast pressure to sell, in consequence of
the easy condition of Money matters; and,
on the other hand, there is but little temp.
tation to speculate for the rise, on account of
the political uncertainties Of the times. The
result is inactivity, which can not be re-
moved until glimmer of daylight is permit
ted 10 visit us. The Stock Exchange, like
the Iest Of the business community, waits for
the development of the policy Of Govern
menI; and its members, with divided opiu-
ions, are ss much adrift upon the sea of
doubt os the dealer ia Merchandise.
Iu this way not only is speculation
checked, but the investment demand is mar
Iowed down TO securities which are the least
liable TO disturbance by political events.
The comparatively low prices of Federal Sc
Curiti6s attracts purchasers, but in ordinary
times a Loan of IS, 100000 would have been
absorbed at and above par for investment in
less than q week. Stocks of the Southern
States, such as Missouris, ViTginias and Ten
nessets have fair market but fail to COM
maDd the confidence to which they would
be entitled ia the absence of political agita-
ton. The favorite Securities OF the time are
undoubtedly Railway Bonds, aud the mac
ket continues steady for the better descrip
tions while, for low priced the demand has
considerably increased.
There was no material change in market
value sat the First Board, and the transactions
weTr quite moderate. Galena and Toledo
were he most active Of the Railway Stocks,
and he former was the subject of a tolerably
vigort us Bear attack, but held up under it
With Il fair degree of steadiuess. At the
Second Board the most important feature
was the large business in State Stocks, which
came out freely and were heavy at the close.
The aggregate amount of sales of Missouri
and Tennessee was $l08, 900, large business
for en- afternoon session. A large portion of
the sales were on sellers options, but the
impression is that the bonds are ready for
delivery. II is notimprObable that the Fed
eral Loan will absorb larger share of the
proceeds. The transactions were small in
Shares and at slight decline from morning
price,. The markets closed dull, but gem
orally steady.
Mondays Tribune remarks respecting
Saturday New York Money Market:
The business of the Clearing house to-day
was Sl8, l07, l39 10. We have no essential
change 10 report in Money matters. There
is no disposition to make further concession
in rates, and the impression is that with the
temporary employment of large amount
of the floating capital of the street in the
new loan, the market will be somewhat
titmsr. The negotiation of Paper in the
open market is on a limited scale, on ac-
count OF the large absorption by the Banks
TO replace the loans paid off on Government
STOCK, ard the s,aTcity Of choice names. On
cali, we near OF loans as low as 4004h per
cent, but these are exceptions, aud the
MINIMUM rate can be fairly quoted at per
cent.
The next Bauk returns promise to show
reserve considerably above forty millions In
SpecieInn amount Of the precious metals
lever betore gathered at any central point
IN this Country. In the Spring of 1858 fol-
lowing the crisis Of 81, with the contraction
OF credits and the slagnaiion of business the
Banks accumulated, at the highest point, be-
tween 35,0O00OO and $50 900, 0OO and this
appeared 10 be an extraordinary phase in
the political economy of our New World;
but row, three years afterWard, we pile up
more than forty millions and scarcely won
der Of the change.
