* cent At Frankfort, the leading German market for •
American securities, ihe immediate supply of these
bonds had been pretty well exhausted by investment
purchasers, ani the impression obtaittsd that the re
election of Mr. Lincoln, when confirmed, would
strengthen confidence in Federal stocks, on the princi
ple that peach would soon follow euch a verdict of a
untied North than a contrary result, implying divided
cowselsand'a hesitating policy. The London Times’
money wrller, in thus quoting the substance of his
Frankfort advicec, takes occasion to traverse the con

the fact of Increased confidence among those, most near
ly Interested as holders and buyers of United States
