This is about what was expected The increase
&C specie would have been greater but for the
negotiation of s3,0OO,000 Of government skies,

win be taken ont Of the banks and exchanged for
Treasury notes: 40 that il Is possible we may
have seen tho highest specie average for the
present. Gold, however, rapidly flows out Of the
Sub. Treasury into the banks again. and, notwith-

We notice That the Edinburg, arrived this after.
noon, Las lalf million dollars on board.
The money market grows easier. Many brokers
fciu money OF deposit at -four per cent having
more han they can use; first class paper is wanted
mt five per cent for short, and "a Gl2 for long.
Ehc condition Of our money market, and the GER
ta'n'y that the supply Of money will continue to
be IN excess Of thc consumption of the mercantile
Iubh., are phenomena which are engaging the
attention Of spectators.
Foreign exchange has hardly opened vet for the
