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- num—the semi-monthly $2—singles copies 12 1-2 r*us )r Address— ROBERT T.
