There is nothing new in the money market.
Capitalists turning their attention to Treasury
notes, which are being freely taken. The foreign
exchange market closed firm.
The stock market continues dull, and prices were
lower again this morning. Heavy sales of Virgil
Mas, Tenncssees and Missouris were effected this
morning and, Notwithstanding the demand for
them for delivery, virginias fell off "a Mssouris 4
and Tennessees q. We have nothing further with
regard to the action of the rebels in the matter Of
these securities. 1t need hardly be remarked that
the Confederate Congress has no direct authority
over the State of Virginia; it has authority
over every citizen of Virginia, however, and
can pronounce the payment Of money by
any Virginan to an alien enemy high trea-
son. To make the reputation OF these
bonds certain, we understand that the Legislature
of each State, will, on the recommendation OF the
Confederate Congress, proceed to repudiate them
We learn that there precedcns for the act in
our revolutionary history. Federal stocks were
steady to-day, with moderate business. The in
quiry for six per cent Treasury notes continues

A bond of the State of Virginia for 81 GOO, dated
lst October 1850, has appeared in Wall street. 1t
is identical with the regular Virginia skies, so far
as the body of the bond is concerned, except that
it ia made payable in Richmond The sheet Of
coupons attached, however, is printed in red, while
the OLD is in black. This bond has just been for
warded from the West, where it has doubtless
| been put IN circulation, and so far as we know is
the first issue of tic rebel authorities. These bonds
| WILL of course, find circulation here, as they
| bear all the marks of spurious issue.
| The new demand notes Of tivcs, tens and TWEEN
ties are nearly ready for use. The American Bank
| Note Company expect to be able to forward the
first nstalment to Washington on Thursday next,
and the calculation is that half million per day
can be supplied after the first day of September.
| These notes will be issued in the proportion of
| equal amounts, payable in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, and one-haf in st. Louis and Cincin-
natl, which are the only points at which they are
rcdeemable in gold on demand
