OUR SECURITIES At THE NORTH
A Gratifying Exhibit.

The New York Herald OF Monday, in its re-
Wow Of the stock market for the preceding
week, says:
Southern securities were more than unusually
active, and tue market exhibited many fea-
lures OF interest. Almost simultaneous with
the announcement that Louisiana was ready to
meet this payment Of her coupons came the
news that Missouri, according to the opinion
of her Attorney General, was bound to redeem
her bonds in gold. The Nashville Press
now says that the money to pay the seml-an-
nual interest ON the Tennessee State bonds
this July will hNe to % all borrowed. The
semi auoual interest to be provided for is about
800 900 Of this. The remaining 500 600
must be provided for either by laws or by
taxation. Not one railroad IN the hands Of re-
c,iyers DAYS cent IN the treasury in the way OF
interest TO be provided for; the railroads ought
to pay something over $500 000 Instead OF this,
they provide about half that sum. In contrast
to this is the example Of South Carolina, whose
authorities, according to an announcement
from Charleston, which is b rne out by no.
tice IN the advertising columns, will promptly
meet the payment Of all the interest due july l..
Tue old bonded debt Of theState is S., ,407. SO6.
The interest on this sum has been accumuiLt
ing since July /, 1867. amounting to twelve per
