says =" There was hrmer tone to the market
for Southern securities succeeding o recovery
in prices after ths decline previously noticed.

now largely free of the speculative influences
then at work. Our reconstructed brethren
were not SLOW to learn s Yankee tricks in
speculation, and there is the best reason in the
world Tor the belief that the bonds OF several
Southern States were ingeniously worked up
and down the scale, to tho great profit Of the
State authorities. The investment demand
from Northern capitalists and corporations
seems to have been satisfied, while speculative
operators are temporarily attracted to the
other markets."
