NEW YORK STATE FINANCES EMBARRASSED.
Inc sum OF SIP, i,600, being a portion of the
canal debt, falls due on the LIST OF November
next. Under direction of the state legislature,
the state officers advertised for bids for new

the payment Of the old loan. Contrary to all
anticipation, no bids were presented. This is
unprecedented in the finances OF the state, and
SHOWS how dlsastrously the revusion through
which we are passing has affected business in
terests. Less than Q half million OF the old bonds
were offered in exchange for the new bonds,
leaving about million and half dollars to be
provided. The controller has no money with
which 10 meet the unexpected demand. Sew
eral millions of dollars are due from the city of
New YORK, and the controller is now in New
