The sale of the public securities during the past
week has caused q material appreciation in the
value of sundry stocks and bonds 1t has also re-
| lieved the tightness of the money market and
created buoyancy from which the most favora-
BILE results looked for. The confidence evinced
by Northern purchasers in our several State Sc
curities has had similar effect upon own Peo-
ple and hence it is believed that prices will not
be depressed to their former low figure, unless it
be from events now unforeseen.
Money commands from to II per cent, accor,
ding to the character of the security offered and
the time required. On the whole the tone Of the
market is greatly improved, and business is brisk.
