him for their representative man in Iowa, on

The National Intelligencer says, in an article
on financial affairs :-f'Gold has rallied and
Government securities ara slightly depressed.
The losses experienced to-day, by holders of
railroad stock are so heavy that they tend to
to check all speculation whether in stocks, gold
or national funds. The recent, and still con-
tinued, depression in the geld and stock mar
kets is caused undoubtedly, first by peace ru
mors; second, by actual and expected military
successes; and third by the promised release
of large supplies of cotton from the South
As to peace rumors they are counteracted by
the radical sentiment of our Congress, and the
defiant and beligerent tone of the Confederate
authorities" But the Inteligencer believes
that there are prospects ahead for peace, not
withstanding.
The National Banks are about to issue ole
aud two dollar notes, which they are allowed
to do by law. The New York Evening Post
says: ''This will put into circulation very
active class of currency, and the call for these
notes will soon carry the amount of paper is
sued by the National Banks to the highest
point permitted by law. -
