: Exchange remains ut 22!c to day, but the de-
1nand has improved. The orders come mostly
from cauntry correspondents, and city CUSTOM
css purchase little more freely. More activity
is looked for next week, as the payments OF the
first Of February mus. be made, md among
other things il is said considerable amounts of
xeini ANIMAL interest OH .ncnies loaned in fhc
city on custom, account, must be RENTED.
Holders, thcrc:ore, believe that present rates
can bc maintained, certainly. till after the 1st
and 4sh OF February. Experience las proved,
1oxcv.r, that i: is exceedingly difficult 10 pre-
dict how 1l,c market will vibrate. Buying rates

The effect Of having 70 much Missouri, ILL.,
