Tar sToc1 AND MONEY MARKET has been
somewhat affected BY the PRONUNCIATION OF the
financial bill Of the Treasury, and the bill re-
ported by Mr.. Morrill,, from the Committee on
Wavs and Means It is now regarded as GER
tain that Congress and the country will accept
the policy Of contraction Of the currency, and
will. therefore, adopt the necessary means 10
attain that end, to wit: the funding Of the Hoa-
ting debt. The process Of funding WILL certain
" be commenced in earnest under Mr.: McCnl-
loch's scheme. The provision in Mr.. Morr1ll $
bill forissuing I've per ct. bonds, the interest
on which is to be paid semi-annualyy in coin,
to holders in Europe, is considered as wise :'i
The bonds will be popular IN Europe, and VIII
serve 10 facilitate exchange. 10 the same ex-
tent it is true this will aid in piling up noun
tain ofdebt against us in Europe, in exchange
for imported goods and merchandise, which,
however, our people will have as long as they
can be procured by any form Of exchange gold,
bonds, produce, or credit. Little gold goes
out in exchange for imports could not be paid
for in gold for six months without advancing
the premium on gold to five hundred per cent

ExoRB5rANr RENTS IN RICHMOND. The
neonle Of Richmond held public meeting on
Tuesday. to take measures looking to reduc-
tion of the enormous rents demanded by land
lords. They passed resolutions and appointed
an Executive Committee to confer with land
lords. One Of the speakers Mr.. Berry, said
landlords now demanded higher rents than had
heen paidin Confederate money. "A house OPP
nosite the SpotsWood Hotel was built Tor
$4,000, and was rented for 1850 per annum.
Did not the usury law exist, and was it not
nsnry for man to obtain s.; 500 per year from
an investment in real estate OF $4,000.
