COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.
Monetary and Commercial.

The Monetary market, yesterday, was fairly
active, but evinced no change of consequence
from last week. AT the Discount-houses, the
offerings were large for Monday, and all good

bankers report no change during the present
month
Eastern Exchange is very firm at 4Oc. buy
ing, and 1 premium selling; the supply being

causing dealers to pay often 45c. for such

and 2s@4Oc. premium selling rate, and New
Orleans Sight Funds dull at a discount and
par, and H@2s premium.
Missouri paper still sells readily at Nc,
and Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin at &c. dis
count.

limited demand. Whisky was steady,
owing in part TO light receipts. Provisions
were dull, but holders remained firm; no sales

Groceries were unaltered. Wheat and Oats
were firm; and Corn, Rye and Barley dull.
The Imports and Exports of various ar
ticles during the forty-eight hours ending
yesterday noon, were:
