sell. The goldbearing bonds arc weak, except nYo,
twenties Of 1865 for which we observe growing oeana
from investors of small means
One of the most gratifying fea'res OF the stock market
is tho great rnoss of government eocures Whlcn are
more fixed in price less liable TO any severe declno anu
more to be relied upon than any other species OF ordl
nary assets During the last few weeks a1roao shares
and other securities have declined to 10 per cont and
merchandise has fallen 20 to 40 per cent governments M
have fallen less than per cent There are reasons tor
this The amount of governments on on tho Market is
growing less continually. and rs creditors hecone III
able as security for borrowing when nothing else will
command the money. The fact that banks usually VIII
call in loans other colateras and leave the loans on
povarnments uncaed OF the reasons for what VIC
see every time pinch comcB in the money market.
Another is found in the advantage as to e1emp
ton from taxation III favor OF governments over any
other personal property @
