FINANCIAL.
NEW YoRk. septsmber IA

NEW YORK; september IA.
The stock market is, upon the whole il
an unsettled condition and the prevadinJ
disposition is to sell.
The railroad list steady on the first open
ing of the Board, but the market dull ex,
cept on Erie.
At the Stock Exchange there was scarce
ly any change in quotations, and transac.
tions were generally in a very moderate
state Tho market was dull and weak this
evening, both at the second and last board.
Erie, Pittsburg, and Northwestern shares
and Ohio certificates were the weakest
stocks on the list.
Governments are decidedly firm. There
was q demand for old 5-2Os, which is met
to large extent by exchange for new ISSUE,
with financial Institutions.
State bonds better.
Miscellaneous stocks unchanged.
The gold market has been steady to-day,
with small operations.
Money continues easy at sac per cent.
The demand from stock brokers is mod
crate.
The Commercial says: The effected
proposals of the Secretary Of the Treasury
to fund q portion of the interest bearing
currency into $50 bonds, is regarded as
being the probable Inauguration of the
policy of contraction, intended to bring af-
fairs back to a specie basis. At the same
time, the probability of the banks of the
s1-+s~ ~HJeinins SlNies ea0Psing the plan or
enforcing the redemption of the National
currency, is regarded as decisive check
upon tendency to bank and currency ex-
pansion. There are at work elements
which have an opposite tendency. A party
is assuming shape and consistency whose
purpose is to operate powerfully when the
next Congress meets, for having large ex-
tension OF National banks, increasing bank
circulation, making currency legal tender,
and require the Government to assume
the responsibility of redemption, holding
as security, bonds deposited by the Ma
tional banks, and withholding interest
thereon as compensation. This party is
headed by a prominent fnancier, who has
considerable influence with the National
banks.

and they now constitute the majority of the
arrivals at some of the hotels. Among

gresham De Gsrnette and Brigadier Gene
sral Banks of Virginia.
RUMoRs.
An unusual crop of rumors, concerning
Hon. John Wilson's Executive Bureau at
the White House, were afloat to-day with
as little foundation as usual. The name of
6 prominent Cabinet officer was given as
authority for the statement that the bureau
was fixed fact, but the gentleman declares
he knows nothing about it save what he
has seen in the newspapers.
MONEY FOUND.
The Tribune's special says 100000, for
merly a portion of the Confederate States
Treasury, and since the demolition of that
institution secreted in the South, was re-
Gently unearthed and turned into the Uni
ted States Treasury. This sum, which con-
sisted of of 500, 600 in gold, $4,000 in silver
and s., 900 in silver bullion, was recently
sent North, in charge of guard of $50
picked men of the 10th 0. s. Infantry.
REBEL oFFICERs IN MEXICO.
The Times City of Mexico correspondent
saws there are at present in this city about
forty rebel officers, of different grades.
Among whom may be mentioned Generals
Price, Magruder, Shelby, Wilcox and King.
They all associate themselves with Amer
ican citizens, here who have maintained
a loyal attitude with the utmost cord iality,
and no bitter vituperation against the Yam
KEGS Is heard. many bcnemes oA colOnl1e-
tion are proposed by them. The most
measurable one Is that of the Duke of
Crowns; which came to an untimely end.
Among the most important and feasible
ones now pressed upon the attention of the
government, is that the United States
should cede or donate large tract of land
in the vicinity of Cordovs for founding a
large colony. If the donation is obtained
il is proposed to issue circulars for general
circulation, particularly throughout the
South, under the signitures of Kirby Smith,
Price and Msgruder, and it is confidently
attested that this will induce large num-
berB, particularly of those who have been
under these officers, to emigrate from the
States.
Notwithstanding the persistent refusal Of
the government of the United States TO re-
cognize the Imperial government of Maxi
millian, the only government de .Gaeto ex-
isting in the civilized portions of Mexico
This government has very carefully main
tanned position of impartial neutrality
