MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
Financial Affairs.
The Banking quarter was remarkably
quiet yesterday, and there was no movement
of consequence in any department OF FL
nance. Money continued easy, with bet
ter supply than there was demand. Eastern
Exchange was still firm, though not very act
i've, and Gold, New Orleans Exchange and
Uncurrent Money are without alteration.
For the week ending last evening" Money
was in less request than during the previous
week, and business was not so brisk. Cur
rency generally increased at the Banking
houses nearly all of which could do more
good Paper than is offered to them. The ap-
plications for Loans were unusually light
for the season, and very few borrowers were
seen in the street. Interest-notes for first
class Paper are unchanged, ruling as before,
at lO9l2 per cent. in the regular quarters,
and l5@lS for second-class in outside cir
cles.
Eastern Exchange remains unaltered and
firm, at y buying, and = premium selling
rate, Baltimore being usually purchased be-
low the regular price. The Ohio Valley
drew, as usual for their customers and
friends, at 2s premium. ..-.
Gold was quiet, with hardly any city de-
mand at e premium; dealers giving u for
round lots Of Coin.
In New Orleans Sight Exchange, there
were very few transactions, but there is now
disposition to buy; the rates being Is dis.
@par buying, and par@H premium, selling.
In Time-bills very little was done, though
they were still in demand at S@9 for sixty
and ninety-day Drafts on the East, and 10
! for those on the South.
Uncurrent Money underwent very little
change, the present rates of Discount being

York Bank Statement, the leading features
of which have been telegraphed to the PRESS;

favorable, and shows continuance of the contrac-
tion Of loans which has been going on for six or
seven weeks past, while the Specie shows only tri-
fling decrease, Notwithstanding the non-arrival Of

loans show nominal decrease of over 81, 800 900,
