coal at the same rate as sailing vessels but make
two VOYAGES to the latter's one.

Thursday, April IL. 1870.

Thursday, April Il. 1870. :
There is quite good demand for money to-
day, in consequence of tomorrow being legal
State holiday, and the requirements of two days
being condensed into one. The pressure, how
ever, is not great, and we hear no complaints of
the difficulty of obtaining funds on good seeu-
rity and at reasonable rates. Ia negotiating
time loans lenders continue to discriminate
cautiously, indicating some dtlidence, but not
sufficient to affect the rates, which remain
without material change. .lI..
The gold market led quiet but steady,
with sales at 1925, the only variation during
the morning being from that figure to 1928.
Governments are also dull, and, in sympathy
with gold, steady.
The stock market was moderately active this
morning, and prices were firmly maintained. In
State loans there was some activity. Sales of 6s,
first series, at 10314; second do. at 1865; and
third do. at 10S In City bonds the old issues
wore taken at 1011 d, and of the new at 1929.
Reading Railroad was in fair demand, and
sold at about 4984. Pennsylvania Railroad was
rather weak selling at 563s@5S1G. Lehigh
Valley was taken at 56, Catawissa preferred
at 3715, and Philadelphia and Erie at 80 s. o.
Canal stocks were very dull, and the balance
of the list no sales were effected though there
was firmer feeling all through the market.

VIEW.
WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The ST. Thomas question is
now before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee
who are considering the prOpriety of extending the
time for the ratification of the treaty, it having
already expired The President has authority to eN-
tend the time but preferred TO have the judgment
OF the Committee on the subject before he took any
action on it, 1t is understood that the Committee
are divided on the question. Mr. iSumner eX-
presses the belief that the Government are bound
somewhat by the action Of Mr.. Seward in his nego-
tiations with the Danish Government and that It Is
but fair aud just that the time should be extended
1t does not follow that in extending the time the
Committee will support the treaty.

THE AZORE ISLANDS CABLE.

PARIS. Friday, Jan. 7, 1870
Capt. S. b. Thompson and Mr.. 5. 7. Van Choate,
Engineer, the authorized agents of the American Ca
bic Company have just arrived in Paris from Lisbon,
having secured from the Portuguese Government the
privilege of landing and operating an ocean cable on
the Azore Islands. The Company is purely American.
Its cables are 10 proceed direct from Ncw-forB,
without intervening land lines, TO the Azores; thence
in a direct line through the English Channel to "A

lateral branches, landing at point near Hayre,

point on the coast of Holland, Dear The Hagne
1t will be observed by this plan that the object is
70 tap the great business centers such as London,
Paris. and the principal cities of Europe, whose
terminal lines concentrate al The Hague at points as
