PROVISIONS : Only a limited demand has prevailed for
pork since our last, the home trade taking sufficient only to
satisfy their most urgent necessities, in view of the extreme

MONEY AND STOCKS : Under the influence of the abundance
of money, and the favourable financial and political advices
from England, tl,e activity of. tl,e stock market and improving
tendency of prices, notic cl in our last report of Bth instant,
continued until 12th instant, when Erie railroad stock sold at
651, Illinois Central railroad stock at 103 ; construction bonds
at 95, and freeland bonds, with privilege, at 100. The foreign
orders for these, and some other descriptions of securities, were
apparently large, and the domestic demand was also more
active than it had been for some time previous. Since that
date the transactions have become less important. Prices have
generally.. receded from the highest points, and, in some
instances, the quotations herewith are lower than those given
in our last prices current. The check to the upward movement
was produced by the firmness of foreign exchanges and conse-
quent large shipments of gold, which 'led to an apprehension
that a system of curtailment may shortly be adopted by the
banks in this city—the late'returns.showing a rapid reduction.,
of their specie balances, while the loans and discounts continue
to increase. As yet, however, there are no symptoms of a
diminished supply of money, and the export,of gold last week
being considered less than was anticipated, a slight advance in
prices has taken place, and the market closes firm, although the
transactions for the' last three 'days have been compalatively
limited. There has been a fair business in State stocks during
in Virginia and Missouri 6s, with the fortnight, principally
generally but slight fluctuations, Ohio 6s have bad an
upward tendency, 1,360 a selling at 1011- to 102, and 1,870 s at
104 tnlo6, closing. 106 bid. There have been small sales of
California 7s, 1875, at 69A- ; Tennessee 6s, 1868, at 944 ;
Indiana 245-at 53, and Michigan 6s at 974 to 93. The supply
of money continues fully equal to the demand, and the rates
interest are unchanged. The business in foreign exchanges for
this mail has been limited, and the market is not firm
