| The aggregate for the week again falls slightly
below that of the corresponding week last year;
but the falling off since January is small. Flour
merchants seem confident Of an active exporttrade
throughout the summer, and by and by we shall
begin to receive some Southern produce.
! The money market is very easy indeed. Five
per cent is the rule for call loans and six the ex-
ception. Money would fall still lower were it not
for the deposits at the Sub. .Tressurer's. Country
| currency continues on the increase.

any revival of speculation the stock will probably
advance considerably. AT the second board the
market was firm, without much business doing.

The advices per City of New York with regard to
the sailing Of an iron steamer called the Oyeto
from Liverpool on MARCH, 22, under sealed Or
ders have created some excitement among mer-
chants and shpowners. 1t was we'll understood in
Liverpool that the Oveito was intended to engage
in the same piratical business as the Sumter and
the Nashville. No impediments. however, were
thrown in her way in a seaport which has been
built up by trade with the United States. One re.
port states that she had no guns aboard when she
sailed, and that she was to take board an arma-
ment at Kingston Jamaica, or Bermuda; another
party states that she had guns concealed in her
hold when she sailed If she succeeds in her pur-
pose of piracy, she will be the most formidable pi
rate aioat, IS she was expressly built for a war
ship, is very swift, and is calculated to carry
heavy armament Shpowners seem to think that
our British neighbors are hardly acting fairly by
US in this matter Of privateers. The Nashville,
fresh from burning an American ship,
received in British port, sheltered there
sor many months, and loaded with arms
and munitions of war by Engishmen; she was con-
| yoyed to a safe point in the Channel by British
men-oi.war, which prevented the Tuscarora from
| molestng her. On her second escape she again
welcomed into the British port OF Nassau, and
! friendly Engshmen were found 10 give her new
| register and new name, and to place her under
! the British flag, which she will doubtless fly until
| she gets chance of burning another American
merchantmen. The Sumter lies quietly in British
| port in spite Of the Queens proclamation, and is
protected by the guns of the British forts at
| Gibraltar. If by any accident the Tuscarora should
| relax her watch, she would go to sea to burn more
vessels And now the climax is capped by the
deliberate building in British shipyard Of this
Oveito expressly for the business OF prvateering'
and by her departure on her piratical mission with
the full knowledge and apparent connvance Of the
| authorities and people of a city which lives 10y
trade with the loyal States of the Union.
The deposits at the SubTreasury to-day amount.
ed to 81 $40 900: the aggregate amount at present
is over :2i 900 900. 1t is evident that the limit
liked by Congress to these five per cent deposits
will soon be reached and there can be no question
Of the expedency of extending it TO 800 900 600
Financiers agree that money will not advance he:
youd five per cent so long az government con
tinues to issue paper, and there is no probability
Of any such demand upon the Sub-Treasury by the
dep Dstors as would cause any embarrassment. Al
the same time, the necessity for further Issue o
Treasury notes is being recognized by all the
soundest minds The present issue, which is limited
TO $50 900 000 is far too small to serve the pur
pose of a general national currency Further
more, if Mr.. Chase adheres TO his present pur
pose of paying of all his debts without
further delay, he will have to enter
the market as q borrower in May next
under disadvantageous terms RI he car
defer his next appeal to the public for money
until the plans Of Generals Mcclellan and
Halleck are contaminated, and the utter hopeless
ness of the rebellion demonstrated beyond pcrad
venture, be would save great deal of money. II
would be good economy for Congress to authorize
a new issue Of 100000, 900, partly in ones, twos
