COMMERCIAL RECORD.


The I'D of February being b. the law OF the state
holiday, there has been very general suspension
of business to-day. No session of the stock Board

By reference to our Congressional report it will
be seen that the Loan bill reported some time since
by the Committee of Ways and Means. came up yes
terday for discussion in the House of Representa-
tves, and from the debate which took place upon it,
it is quite evident that there is good deal of differ
ence of opinion among the leading members of the
House to this most important measure, and it is
by certain that the bill, which it is under
stood has been framed in accordance with the sug-
gestions of Mr.. McCuloch will receive the sanction
of the House. The future discussions upon this bill
will be watched with the most intense interest by all
business men, the business interests of the country
largely involved in the fate of the measure. For
ourselves venture to hope that the wise sugges-
tons of Mr.. McCulloch may be adopted, and that
the finances of the country may be so arranged that
we may return as speedily possible to specie pay
ments.
