DRY consciousness continues excit-
ingly active, and with increasing buoyan-
cy ofprices. Western merchants are nu-
merons, and city and nearby dealers are
buying largely. Domestic standard cotton
goods have risen, and have still an upward
tendency. The print market exhibits
great activity, and purchases are being
made in heavy lots, besides quickened
activity for small parcels. Stocks are much
reduced. Prices are still looking up, and
some holders have withdrawn their goods,
waiting for higher prices. Ginghams are
steady. DENNIS are scarce and in demand
A very brisk demand has obtained fer both
brown and bleached shirtings and sheet
ings, and prices have risen. Printed der
LANES are greatly wanted, and the demand
cannot be supplied The Manchester de-,
LANES are being eagerly competed f0f; and
Messrs. J. G. Howe Il Co. have already or
ders for all the fall goods their mills can
produce. Prices have advanced since our
last report, and still tend upward.

i Army kerseys are quiet. iSatinets are
rather more active. Flapnels are quick of
sale, and orders are large for future deliv-
cry. Shawls also attract great attention,
but at present the stock i1 small The
greatest activity is, however, shown In the
market for fancy cassimeres. All desira-
BILE FOODS of this class are taken up on ar
rival and the productions of the Manches-,
ter mills are eagerly sought for. Light
colors are found attractive. The better
qualities and styles command high prices
and yet are thnoyant in price. In tOreignf
fabrics the market is equally excited. The
choice productions Of the French looms are
in good request. French silks, French de-
LANES, French ribbons, French merinoes,
are all active, with an undersupply, and at
rising prices. The reaction in the price of
gold has partly occasioned the new ad-
vance in prices, but the excess Of demand
over supply is the chief cause of the adj
vance. British goods are taken with avid
ity on arrival. Plain colors are most
sought for. Coburgs are scarce Of desira-
bile co1ors, and goods on the way across
rive. The whole country seemsr alive with
apressing demand for goods, which can
not be fully met at present. Auction bu-
sinessis active, and the active competition
exhibited is resulting in a constantly ad-
vancinng market.-N. Y. Independent.
! Rich SCENE ON RAILROAD TRAIN
An affair worthy Of notice occurred few
days since on the train between BALTIMORE
and this city. A number Of soldiers, were
on, board the train Two of them lWQte
blouses of q differentcolor from those worn
by the rest An old Copperhead on the
train noticed this, and supposed them to
be .sSouthern brethren" He approached
them and entered into a conversation
something like the following: 10 bssa lt gsa.
Gopperhead-"Yo gentlemen do rot be-
long to this party of soldiers?'' tsEauEa
Z :SOldiers-"No, sir"
Copperhead-"Do yon belong to the
Southern Confederacy?'
/, Soldiers-"Yes, sir.''rr ay.sr.r
q opperhead-"Have you any money!"
i Soldiers. No, sir" oer.c,T
! Copperkad -"Have you no Confederate
soldiersN"No, sir; we i I, lost St every thing
when captured by the Yankees
,er Copperhead-(giving each of them FIVE
dollar billy 'It is pity that gentlemen
engaged in good cause should be robbed
OF every thing.'' After this generous act
on the part of the old man he asked,
saWhat State in the Confederacy do you
p soldiersEssFroms me state IT Mdyaet'
+, Copperhead "simmered down. and left
the train before it had fairly stopped at
Hanover MISUNDERSTANDING Telegraph.

FINANCIAL AND CONNER CiAl,

SUNDAY, Feb. |, 1863.
The money market was quite active last week
though rates varied widely, according TO borrow
crs and coateras. The best borrowers in
the street have much money offered them
Al and a. they can use, and, in their case
margins are not closely scrutnized On the other
hand, the weak spectators who have been operat.
ing at the public board, in many cases to an ex.
tent wholly unustiiied by their means, find il ex.
tremely difficult TO borrow money at seven, with
margins OF ten TO fifteen per cent. On dividend
paying stocks, such as Central, Erie preferred
Michigan Central, Galena and Rock Island
bankers are generally willing TO lend within fifteen
TO twenty per cent of the market price of the
stock az not over 8 per cent per annum.
But, on non-dvidend paying shares, il has
proved difficult to borrow. at any rate OF
interest, except on margins which few OF
the smaller spectators can AFFORD 20 pu, up In
one word, money is abundant; but money lenders
are cautious and distrustiul OF The advance in
stocks and Of the strength OF the spectators who
are operating in them. To certain extent the
prudent caution OF the regular lenders has been
defeated by the willingness Of private capitalists
10 lend money on ten per cent margins on the
binary speculative stocks Of the day. Bank de.
positors are naturally anxious to make their ba-
lance earn interest overnight, and many OF them
now make q rule OF depositing their money with
some established stock firm AZ the close Of bank
hours This practice is likely to become general.
Every merchant or capitalist knows some broker
who will take his bank balance at i've or six per
cen, and give him stocks to secure the loan, with
such margin to leave but little risk OF loss The
recent attempt 10 check speculation in stocks BY
calling in loans and refusing to renew them. ex-
cent with excessive margins, is neither novel nor
can II be oifectual Devices of this kind are Just
as idle a. Congressional attempts to restrain the
legitimate prosecution Of the banking business
The business of a banker is to lend money on ade.
auate security at the market rate of interest.
Whenever a banker-from extraneous reasons
declines to lend money on adequate security al
the market rate Of interest he departs from sound
principles, and will lose money by the operation
II il Just as ridiculous TO deplore the present rise
in stocks and to try TO prevent il by illegitimate
combinations a. II was in 1857 to try to prevent
their fall. The laws Of trade viii assert their
supremacy in spite Of the coatriyances cf indiyi.
