BICIEtfELL’S REPORTS?*,
Counterfeit Detector, end Price Current.
T iilS firs i year of this publication having been con
cluded, the “Reporter” will hereafter be published
weekly as well as semi-monthly. We feel grateful to the
public for the liberal patronage awarded us, (having now
a more extensive circulation than any other ncu .-paper
in the United States,) and shall leave no measure ui-re
sorted to, in order to render this Journal valuable hi ail
respects, not only to merchants, banking institutions
brokers, and keepers of hotels, but to the community hr
general. We have engaged the literary aisistan^e of se
veral gentlemen well known as writers, and have cones
pondents in all the principal dries and towns in the Lai
red States. We afeo receive weekly more than five hun
dred newspapers from different parts of the Union, so
that whatever information may be circulated through the
medium of tho “Reporter,” and the resources from whence
it is derived, we can confidently state, may, in ail cares,
be relied upon as correct. Bank notes are being counter
feited in every direction; and on the arrival of eveij ves
sel from Europe, or the creation of every national excite
ment, the state of the market varies. Every person
should, therefore, be possessed of some certain guile by
which ail such information might be received by the ear
liest mails, and at such a rate as not to render ns posses
sion an exorbitant tax. Such a Journal is exactly w hat
we endeavor to render the “Reporter,” in an effort tc ac
complish which, neither pains nor expense will at any
time be spared cn the part of the publisher. Every num
ber will contain a carefully corrected Bank Note List,
List of Broken Banks, Prices Current, Pricas of Gold,
Prices of Bank and Insurance Stock, and a description of
ail Counterfeit and Altered Notes in circulation through
out tlie United States, and all such information ns is
Likely to throw light upon the subjects embraced in the
design of this Journal. The latest foreign news, togeth
er with much original and well selected matter, will al
so be found in the columns of the “Reporter.”
The terms of the weekly publication are $3 per eir-
