Il will be observed that the city banks stronger
in reserve than in 1851 prior TO the settlements In
April which did not advance the rates Of call loans
above 6a per cent or make any stringency among
merchants There is no commercial demand IN ek'
cess of 1867. and unless some new stock compiica-
tions should intervene there is no sound reason why
the April statement and settlements should not be
made without embarrassment in any quarter.
The secret investigation of the affairs of the Erie
road at Albany eXcites remark, and the sooner tho
doors of the Committeerooms arc opened, the better
1t will be for members of the Legislature so far as
character is concerned. Two such fat birds as the
Erie and Commodore Vanderbilt do not often iau
into the hands of Legislature in one session. and
the general desire have the pucking public is not
unnatural.
