The Louisiana democratic reform state central

placed himself with Mosby, Duncan, Wise, and
scores OF others in unyielding opposition to

GRRBLHY's NOMINATION AT BALTIMORE DE-
PRESSING SToCKs.-There is considerable talk
In the street about the probable effect on stocks
OF the nomination of Mr.. Greeley at Raltimore
to-morrow, and there is a disposition to sell
stocks and buy gold in anticipation of it; the
theory being, that with his wild notions about
dent, have the power to, and most likely would.
perhaps unwittingly, create such disturbances
as would make all business calculations as to the
future next to Impossible. Should he adopt,
when he has the power, the policy he has recon,
mended from time to time, great financial dis
order would undoubtedly ensue, and it is felt
that II becomes every business man and banker
to put his house in order for sudden and violent
changes.-N. i. Post, 9th,
