FINANCIAL AND COnME.CIAL,

The New YORK Herald OF yesterday in its
situation which warrants an invitation to the
outside capitalist to bring his money hither and
make an investment. The market bears within
itself the evidences of depression. The Oldest
operators on the street give 1t a. an opinion,
irrespective of all outside Influences that II must
decline. The condition Of the country does not
Justify the sharp speculation whereby a few men
have advanced the prices of fancy stocks. Yet
they will doubtless control the market for several
days, operate very much as they did preceding
the panic. and perhaps be caught BY another
catastrophe. Brokers and bankers arc ''fghting
shy" of these parties; the stringency of money
somewhat describes their credit; aud 1t is not
improbable that within a few days their specu-
latiye power will be exhausted
