CRESCENT orrIcE, No. 10 Camp street, /;
ThursdAy Evening, April II, 1859
The money market has moved on quietly TODAY.
There nothing to give the least indication that
the reports from Europe will occasion the least
disturbance in market though the private adyices
by the Arabia are much more unfavorable than the
public accounts received yesterday. Perhaps in
some respects there is Bear movement astr. 80
far as any depression in money and paper has been
brought about by the accounts, contrary effect was
observable to-day. We note the sales of $4,000
of twelve months paper at the rate Of 9ct If war
in Europe breaks out it will most assuredly there
will be a constant accumulation Of money in the
United States.
The calls on the banks to-day for discounts were
fully up to the income. The discount brokers have,
however, an abundance of MEANS with very moderate
tenders for its use in fact it rather distressngly
dull in the general paper market.
The Exchange market languished to-day. It open
ed torpdly, moved along sluggishly and closed
quietly. Sellers and drawers held at the highest
rates Of the week. There two banks out of the
market, yet there were some large transactions at
some OF the banks in domestic bills at 1 discount
for sight and one days sight; SIG for three days
sght The general rate over the counter par for
checks GU New York. In sixty day bills there were
only some limited transactions. The Havana drafts
on New York were received at too late an hour to
operate on In Sterling there were sales of clear
bills to the amount Of $1,000 at 1893, l07 7.l6M
1881 Other small sums at l09@1094, and some pre-
minary movements in bills Of lading drafts at l0ss@
1851 Francs without change 5.lsa@5l23, and
banks drafts at Sill for sixty days sight Sight on
Paris direct 5.07s@5.05. There are buyers Of ex-
change and at decline-the market would be swept
Of all bills having any pretensions to responsibility
and solvency.
In stocks we heard of the sale of 100 shares Ne.
chanics' and Traders Bank Gold stock) at los. In
Bonds there sale of % 900 Mississippi Central
Railroad yet. Bonds on PIT. So it appears there
is some vitality and life in this Company We learn
that it is moving onward under good prospects.
While the exports from here are increasing and
will exceed this year any previous year. the importa-
tions decreasng-that is so far as they pertain
to the account of city. There are many large re-
ceipts of merchandise here, the duties on which are
collected at the several interior Custom Houses, say
Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis. The importa-
tons into the port of New York for the last quarter
show large increase last year. OF course they
have to be paid for in gold its equivalent partcu-
larry the excess, as the only produce going forward
OF any note is composed of cotton with little to-
bacco and some naval stores Even with large
yield of cotton and corresponding expectations with
good prices, the balance of trade as it is termed
will be largely against the United States.
