STocK AND MONEY MATrERs.-The Ledger
says that Saturday large of tho Five-rwenty
Government loans were reported by jay Cooke,
the agent of the Government for the disposal Of
these bonds. Some SOU, 900, We are Informed
were sold by him, an evidence that the Govern
ment is daily more aud more in favor. The
shown comparative smalness OF the national
debt the improved condition of the trade of the
oouutry, and the probable large increase of rev.
enues from the Tax Law, are among the causes
that have attracted attention to these particular
loans, They are also, like all other comnod
ties in the market, moro or less influenced Ly the
great abundance Of paper money in circulation
as compared with coin. The more rapid advance
Of other stocks within the last few weeks, to the
neglect of these Five Twenty bonds, has placed
the latter among the most desirable securities on
the market, in the opinion Of many OF our large
and most intelligent capitalists Under the in-
fuence Of this new current Of speculation, the
future of prices must inevitably tend higher, so
long as the same causes nre operating, The
| outside public who Ure now dealers in the fan
ccs look only to the surplus funds for which
they have no use in their business and to the
profit they expect to realize thereon by purchas-
lug stocks to hold for a rise.
II. II. Robinson 4 Co, are agents for Jay
Cooke in this city. They charge no commission
for furnishing these bonds.
