Pennsylvania Railroad firstmortgage bonds advanced t, and the second mortgage bonds The money market is very quiet. Pint-class paper is scarce, the amount of business doing being so limited that little paper is made by ft-ret ches houses, 'while purchasers in week credit can only buy for clash. In The Press of this morning, we alluded to:the advertisements for proposal." from the several Statea that are seeking for loans for war purposes In another column of our paper will be found an advertisement, under !shied' it will be seen that the time for reoeiving and opening the bids for the three million loan, asked for by the State of Penn sylvania, has been extended-to the lath of June. The details of this loan base been committed by the State authoritielto the management of Messrs. Drexel & Co., and Jay Cooke rt Co , who urge the public to promptly and liberally Invest in this loan. The exemption from all taxation, the special tax to be levied to provide for the interest, and the provision if a sinking fond to insure its redemption, are called to the attention of the pub- RO by the bankers above named, who offer their aervioes to the übsoribers to the loan, and who will attend to all matters connected therewith. The number of hol lees who came forward to re gister the notes of the exploded Bank of Pennsyl vania, in order to participate in the division of the fends accounted for by the assignees, in their first and second accounts, was quite large. We learn on inquiry of the assignees that the amount of circulation outstanding, at the date of the ;widen meat was 5314,910 The amount received In payment of debts woo $ 67,600 The amount registered for dirt . dend up to May 25, MI." 4311,450 ma 050 Amount of emulation still outstanding.... $35.800 The holden of these notes ought to present them without delay to the assignees, at 407 Library Street. A few weeks ago the Legislature of Ohio appro• priated $1,000,000 for "military purposes." This loan has all boon taken in Ohio at par. This is an iodisation of real prosperity in that young and vigorous State, well worthy the attention of emu talista. At the last meeting of the Beard of Con. trot of the State Bank and Bronehes, $300,000-4 I that remained—was subscribed for. The Atlantic and Great Western Railroad is new opened to the Ptddsdelptdas and Erie Railroad.
