The money market isj sensibly tightening The Banks are calling in their stock loans for two reasons. The first and most important at this moment is, to enable them to make as favorable reports as possible, and the second, is to raise the prices for money among the brokers. When stocks are advancing, an operator will sub mit to the payment of one or two per cent more for a loan, rather than have it called in, and be compelled to sell his stock at the market price. The banks take every opportunity to do this they can invent; and the brokers, in many cases, submit to the best terms dictated. There is, however, a greater demand for money for classes that have heretofore made few applications for loans. The commercial classes are seeking discounts from the banks to quite an extent. Short paper is readily taken at of a G per cent at most of the banks. The New England Worsted Manufacturing Company of Framingham has declared a semi-annual dividend of ten per cent. The Neptune Insurance Company of Boston has declared a dividend of twelve per cent for the past six months.

Gain, $2,495 The rapid improvement in the receipts of the Railroad crossing the peninsula. connecting the waters of Lake Huron with those of Michigan, is an evidence of the importance of the works. The communication with the extreme we t by water, is obstructed long after the Lakes become navigable, by the quantity of ioe that collects at the straits of Michilimackinac. This obstruction will be rendered junimportant by the completion of the railroads through Michigan. All the works of internal improvement at the west, for the transportation of produce, must increase in value with the growth of the country. The immense imp rove ment, shown in the above returns, is but a commence ment of what it must ultimately be. The amount of merchandiseg ing west, and the amount of produce coming east, from the section of country bordering on these improvements, is yearly increasing; and to what extent it will reach is beyond all calculation. During the session of the Michigan Legislature, bills Were introduced, pro: posing the sale of their rail roads. They were defeated. Their possession will, eventually, prove a source of great revenue. The receipts will, in a few years, more than f pay the interest on the public debt of the State. ) The Secretary of the Treasury has transmitted to the / Senate the annual statement of the commerce and navigas tion of the United States.
