Il. Money active at 6@7 per cent. There
are rumors of another attempt to create
an artificial stringency. 1t was reported
this p. Il. that the Customhouse authorities
had made a raid on German importing
firms suspected of frauds on the revenue.
From all that can be learned, there have
been some irregularities in the importa-
ton of sugar, or rather in the classified
ton of imported sugar. The penalty for
any revenue frauds of this nature is the
confscation of the goods; and in case the
Government can prove the facts of the
fraud spoken of, it will probably be one of
the largest on record. State securities
dull and neglected Sterling EXCHANGE
Bankers bills 9 per cent. State Bonds
