quiriAg very little change in our quotaaI0ni

arrived AT in the rival lobby Exchanges. We
only give regular lobby rates. Outside

/ For LIEUTESANT GOVERNOR = On ac-
count OF the number of offers, and the pros,-
| pect OF the successful aspiranr occupy ing
the first position before the term is cut, we
hnd the figures ranging quiee as high aS
those for Governor, in addition to which
many promises OF appointments TO small
offices are made.
SECRETARY or STATE.-Bids for this posi-
Jion are running rather low. The perqai-
sites OF the office admit of no great outlay,
and the patronage is too small TO admit of
many promises
STATE TREAsURER.-Prom ises to sell out
the office TO bond givers, at the lowest bid,
seem 10 be the ruling feature, though drinks
and cigars are used quite freely.
AUDIToR.-Here again the pressure in the
market is very heavy. The mere mention
Of this stock puts the Exchange in an uproar,
out no decided figures are Yet given The
Il ri4AT
Material rates. The known fact that fifty |
70 seventy-fve thousand dollar fortunes |
have been made out OF this stock, upon |
salary OF 5000 per annum, has pushed it up I
high above anything else in the market. /
Lobby factors are very firm IN their preten-
-i0ns, buC the scaut supply OF the where
Nith oi most of the buyers, prevents any
settlement upon figures in the regular
Exchange as yet.
ATTORNEY GENERAL-This stock. with
its privileges OF State Reporter, puts it in
great demand. Bidders are few; but the
factors, Notwithstanding this fact, hold the
no sales as yet, bur the market rates show
that they range as follows Single dele
gates: Low ordinary, Sl5@20; good ord-
nary, 206l % ordinary, $2563J; Influential,
Sl75@ 2U0. Delegates IN lots: Small, S200Q1
250; la ge, $25O@ 800. One feature OF this {
stock is peculiar in the market. fof lobby
factors expressly provide that no railroad .
subsidy warrants shall be taken, but they |
make no distinction an account of race Cr ,,
.oIor against greenbacks gotten by Con- ,
gressional back-saIary grabs. This paper J
: taken readily.
