Stocks March 81, 1854, and March 81, 1865:

Twelve active stocks show in the year a decline
Of SIS 5O0$71 so per share of 800, or an average
decline of S5l per share against fall of sl3 pei
800 in gold. With peace and specie payments,
these properties could not be replaced at the quota
tions which cannot be said of gold of any coIn-
modify. During the financial reconstruction upon
which the country has entered, lower prices are to
10 touched, but it seems reasonable to assume that
railway shares have experienced the heaviest part
of the storm.

Money is abundant among Stock houses at per
sent. and upon choice colatorals is loaned at 5a
Der cent For commercial paper there is little de-
mand. The movement among merchants is to ex-
change as many goods as possible for money, and
10 clear off their bill books upon the present qnota-
fion of Gold and so make their loans as small as
possible. Buyers move with caution, and 'froIn
hand TO mouth is the rule with iobbers retailers
and consumers. AS long as this policy prevails i is
idle TO expect any higher prices for goods or Gny
large movement in mercantile bills.

but on the street rates range from 2a4 per cent
