A i;ttIe more activity was observable In
sone Of the Banking-houses yesterday; but
aeneraliy there was no change of conse-
1pence from Tuesday. Monetary affairs
Eere quiet, and the demand for Currency
v as light with q supply in excess of the de-
mand. The offerings of good Paper at the
Discount-hOuses were rather more numerous
than on Tuesday, but still they were less so
than usual in the month of October.
Rates of Money are unchanged; l0@l2per
ceat. continuing TO be the price for approved
Paper in the regular quarters, and l5@lsin
outside circles.
Eastern Exchange retains its steadiness at
Is buying, and e prem. selling rate dealers
occasionally paying 4oc. for Sight Checks to
their depositors.
There was more demand for Gold yester-
day, and some $4,000 or $4,000 were dis
posed Of et IS prem, to the country Banks.
The market is very dull, however, with only
aR occasional local demand.
New Orleans Exchange remained yester-
day as before quoted-l< dis.9par buying,
and paI@h prem. selling. Advices from
New Orleans of the 10th inst, mention an
advance there to 4 discount and par, which
has been the selling rate at Bank in that
city tor some time. As that is no doubt the
outside figure, the Bankers there probably
charge more for their signatures. This
change will probably effect the market
here.
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri
Notes, were all purchased yesterday at lc.
discount BY the Brokers of Third-street.
The New York news announcing an ad-
vance Of l0c. per barrel with sales of l, 700
barrels, caused no improvement in the Flour
market here, but the demand was somewhat
better than on Wednesday. The sales
reached something over GOO barrels only, at
So to 80 20. Whisky was in good demand
at full prices, with less activity than there
had been. Provisions were dull and un-
changed, and transactions nearly nominal
Mees Pork was quoted at Sl7 75@ls; Bacon
at 9@l!2zc.
Sugar and Molasses were firmer
Groceries generally were unchanged in
prices. Wheat advanced in New York YES
terday, but here it was unchanged, with n
fair demand for prime grades. Corn was
dull and unaltered. Rye was dropping
Oats heavy and declined lc. per bush, and
Barley firm and in demand for prime grades
market was excited. Considerable sales
occurred, but the terms did not transpire
though we have heard they were as high as
So go, and even above that for Hogs averag-
ing 200 lbs. Hogs are held at Sc 70 for the
FIRST half of November and Sc 621$ for the
latter half and are extremely stiff. The de-
mand is large, and doubtless the next two
Yesterdays Louisville papers say the Hog
market continues dull there holders being
unwilling to take contracts for future deliy-
cry at any rate. Some 20 900 head have been
purchased there, mostly at S., gross, which
is the present price, on delivery, in that
vicinity.
In ST. Louis few Hogs are Offering. Buy
eSs are not disposed to pay over SO net. At
some points in Missouri prices have fallen off
recently, out it is thought more will be
packed in that State, generally, than there
were last year.

articles, during the twenty-four hours end
ing yesterday noon, were:
