The money market is quite easy at a per cent
on call. There ia some more good paper in the
market, which sells at about per cent. Foreign
exchange closed duh at last quotations. The Etaa
took out s55i ,236 to-day.
The stock market is buoyant and prices are all
higher than yesterday. The action Of the banks
last evening is regarded by some as having exer-
cised an indueace on spectators. But the com
bined causes to which we have aluded-the sue

and certificates OF government Indebtedness, and
the heavy and increasing traffic ON our railways
are quite sufficient to account for the advance and
to justify belief in its continuing for the present.
The buying this morning was chiefly on commits

moving as actively as usual: some Of them are be-
lieved to be taking line on the bear side, while
Others are waiting for more news from the war
before they buy. 1t is generally conceded that
victory on the Potomac would render our market
rampant. Comparing yesterday prices with those
