lss S4rURDAT EVENING Jan. 6, 1856.
Congress has re-assembled, and our ma
tional Legislators having, it is supposed, en-
joyed their two weeks holiday and perhaps
added something to their working ability,
it is to be hoped they viii proceed vigorous
ly to the consideration of the important
questions Upon which their action is await
ed. In the first rank of these are such as
have reference to the finances, viz. tariff,
internal taxation, and the measures asked
for by the Secretary of the Treasury to en-
able him to take the necessary steps toward
the reduction of the national debt and the
disposal of the short date obligations of the
government. Something is needed to arouse
the trade and industry of the country from
the lethargy that possesses it, and as we are
disposed to think that a good share of this
condition is due To- the fact tina business
men are haunted with the apprehension
that something may be lone to derange and
disturb trade, We regard the action of Con-
gress as to a great degree necessary to re-
lieve the public mind of this embarrassment
and enable business men to proceed with a
clear knowledge of their surroundings.
Local monetary circles were very quiet
to-day, the demand for discounts being on a
msderate scale. The tendency of the mar
ket is to increased ease in currency, though
the daily changes are light.
Eastern Exchange is steady, the supply
being sufficient for present wants, which
are light. Rates are firm at par buying and
ITO premium selling. D
Gold was further depressed in New York
to day, the price closing at 14I5. Govern
ments were strong for gold bonds, but with
out decided change; 1905 quiet and a little
weak. Later foreign news quotes 5-2O's in
London, Dec. 2lst, at 66@661, an advance
of HOB upon previous quotations. AT these
figures, with the present price of gold, rates
of 5-2O's in London and New York are very
nearly equal.
Dealers in coin and governments in this
market bought and sold at the following
