The New Work Money Market.

T.
"The money market was more active, and seven
per cent was paid in all cases on stocks, and in
nearly every instance on Government coilaterals
The occasion OF this disturbance was primarily the
TACT that as the day was the first of the month, q
great many loans were changed owing to the expra-
ton OF contracts and the making OF new apreenents
This activity was taken advantage Of by the bears
who aggravated matters much as possible II they
did not actually tic up funds some bank accounts
were not made up until after three O'clock.
Commercial paper shows slight concession in rates,
which, for the bulk OF transactions, range from
stances, particularly where the maker is not dis
posed to go shopping for market, but wishes
money in haste, or where the amount is larger than
the usual OF notes. good paper has been sold at
as high as nine per cent. discount. The private
market and the country banks are subjected to more
competition from the city banks, which, from the
redundancy OF national currency received on deposit
by them as well as on account OF the tendency to
lower interest, so usual in summer, are inclined TO
enlarge their accommodation.
Governments opened with great buoyancy, In re-
sponse to rise to 81 for bonds In London and prices
at the noon board touched their highest since the
sharp decline in gold. In the afternoon there was
considerable realization, while some uneasiness was
occasioned by an erroneous cable quotation giving
the London price as 7O4 at 1 O'Clock. Later in the
day this was discovered TO be for sOs1. The
activity in money, however prevented reaction,
and the market closed dull

French View of the Importance of Minister
Washburne,s Duties.

Wnshburne's Duties.
From, La Ltberte, May 81.
We have already announced the arrival OF Mr.
Washburne, who comes to assume the duties Of
United States Minister in place of General Dix. In
view of the eVer-increasng Importance Of the poll
tcal influence of the United States in Europe
in view also OF the hostility of the United States
Senate to England and OF the complications
that might arise should the now existing diff
Guilty culminate in serious conflict, bio
tive interest Mr.. Washburne is one of the
most popular men in his country; the friendship
binding him to General Grant is of the most nti-
mate character; hence the mission he has come to
fulfil in Paris has an especial significance. =
Since the Union war, American policy seems to have
had for its object the augmentng Of the share Of in
uence OF the Republic that had hitherto stood aloof
from the contests Of Europe The mission OF
Admiral Farragut, the negotiations commenced with
Turkey and Italy for the establishment OF an
American naval station in the Mediterranean,
the persistency OF the American Senate in
eXactng from England amends regLe for
the support given the pro-slavery party,
would suffice to vouch for this tendency were
not evidence of all kinds at hand attest its exist
ence. General Grant, it is said, is disposed to en-
phasze it still more strongly by making OF the pro-
gramme refer to the objective point OF his policy
his Government, Uis-d-Uis the European powers, men
upon whom he can place as perfect reliance as upon
himself. Mr.. Washburne is such man; he can at
least be regarded as one OF those persons who pos
sess the fullest confidence of the Executive and are
the best informed as to his secret plans.
What France Thinks of England and the
United States.
The COnstitutionnot of Paris, of the 21st ut., re-
ferring to Senator Summers speech, comments as
follows:-
The opinions in England must be much rritated
against the United States for the speech, Of Senator
Sumner, with his expressions of violence and
menace, to have drawn the Times from its
habitual calm and measured attitude. What
is the demand, supposed to emanate from the
Federal Government to submit the difference to a
foreign arbitration. The Times will not hear of it,
and to those Americans who complain of the con-
duct of England during the of secession it re-
wives the language and attitude observed by their
journals and statesmen during the war in the
Crmea and India Both evidently have their blood
up and all the prudence Of the two Governments
will be necessary in order to prevent matters from

brief two months ago the cry among our bus-
ness men was, 'Where shall get money? Never
mind the interest," only give me money! This
memorable epoch for banks, bill brokers, and Shy
locks generally, and whoever were the fools, the
lenders were certainly the wise men. The strin-
gency which had Teigned during the pre-
yious month was nearly as great windfall
as the Rebellion was to some of our rail-
roads leading to Washington. But this too
good to last, and now all is changed. complete
metamorphOsis sort of palingenesis has literally
turned the money market inside out. The cry is all
among the money-changers, "Who wants money?
Never mind the interest give what you like but
only take our money" The change would be com
plete but for thing. The cry falls still air and

the work. Il engaged no external attraction to
induce pressure outward or from within 80 as
to divert the public mind from the work. There
never was an instance in the history of humanity
when society possessed so many elements
calculated to devote the attention of a great
people towards internal development, and turn
their thoughts from the fatal policy of forcible
ACKNOWLEDGMENT which instinct, combined with
the spirit of international discord carries with
it, as well as all the elements of domestic dis
aster and humiliation. If the jurisdiction
of the United States of America be enlarged,
1t will be by amicable arrangements with other
States. America gained nothing at any time by
violence or injustice, and she desires to gain
nothing in the future by unworthy schemes OF
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT, by which nations,
sooner or later, are sure to work out their
own downfall. If future accessions of territory
come, it will be, as in the past, from causes
prepared beyond the circle of our iu-
auences, and by agencies higher than
our own. After alludmg to the pro-
per ambition of the American people,
the General said-We may trust in providence
for continuance of our national prosperity, if
in our intercourse with foreign States we con-
form to those rules of international rightaud obli
cation which have received the sanction of the
same maxims of reciprocal justice shall be
sacredly respected by others; that the high seas
shall be recognized as ~ common pathway,
and that the nations shall be free from all pre-
tensions of superiority or arbitrary control. In
relation to France, he said that there existed
between America and France, from the earliest
period, a strong bond OF affinity which should
never be broken France came to our aid at q
trying PERIOD in the infancy of the country, and
during the very throes of national CESSATION. She
rendered essential service to Washington by the
swords of her soldiers--Lafayette, Rochambeau,
and Count de Grasse-while D'Estringe, Trux
ton, and Paul Jones, at sea unsheathed their
swords in the cause of independence. Owing to
this, misunderstanding between the two coun-
tries for nearly century have been few, unim-
portant, and brief in duration, leaving no rank
ling feeling or resentments behind.
After paying an eloquent tribute to the genius
of Napoleon and the worth and virtue of the
Empress, General Dix referred to the qualdca-
tions OF his successor, Mr.. Washburno,
