more quiet than on Saturday, and the de-
mand for Money was less. The Discount
Houses were still unwilling to do any paper
of consequence, and funds were very difficult
of obtainment even in the street at such ex-
horbitant figures as 2@9 per cent. per month.
With two or three houses Currency has been
increasing of late, but generally it has been
diminishing, the stock at present being quite
low. The demand is not so heavy, but very
little is coming in at present.
Exchange on Boston and New York, as
we stated it would do, advanced yesterday,
running to prem, selling rate; the Ohio
Valley Bank, which has been drawing for
many months for their customers and select
at 25, putting up its figure to 4 prem. The
rates on Baltimore and Philadelphia are ir-
regular and unsettled, with very little inquiry
for bills on either point.
New Orleans Sight Exchange was in ac-
tive demand yesterday, and could have been
disposed oflargely at Il prem, but the mar
ket was bare, causing a brisk inquiry for
bank-notes at u prem, and the purchase of
all in the street at that price. Our Bankers
are very careful of the New Orleans bills they
buy, as great commercial distress is prevail
ing there at present. No less than $50 fall
ures, sixty-five of which were on the 4th and
5th inst, occurred last week in that city.
New York Sight Checks were quoted there
on Saturday at p dis.
Gold was firm here yesterday at a prem,
but there was no particular inquiry for it.
Uncurrent Money was heavy, and some of
the Brokers were charging more on Illinois
and Wisconsin than on Saturday, while the
rejection at indianapolis of six banks, in ad-
dition to the omington-mentioned in
the telegraph this morning-caused an ad-
vance on all the Stock institutions of that
State. Our present rates for Uncurrent Funds
are:

Our City Produce market yesterday was
very dull, and the telegraphic advices from
New York and New Orleans were not of a
very encouraging character, almost all arti-
cles being reported dull at those points.
Flour here was extremely dull; superfue
being offered at 81 without obtaining buy
ers. Extra brands sold, to moderate ex-
tent at 81 5O@5. No change occurred in
Whisky, 1000 barrels selling at 14@141sc.
There was no change in Groceries or Grains,
except in Rye, which was 1c. per bushel
lower.
Provisions were very dull and prices al
most nominal. A small lot of mess Pork
sold at $l4 per barrel, and considerable
transactions occurred in green Meats.
Hogs were heavier and duller than they
have been on any day, of the season, and
though the best in the market could have
been purchased at S., no one seemed to want
them. Had any large number been pressed
for sale, prices would have come. down to
$4 90. Some 900 head were disposed of at
$4 rs to S.. Operators have no confidence
in the future, and therefore they are all un-
willing to make offers or do any thing until
they see their way more clearly.

ports during the forty-eight hours ending

Concerning Saturdays Provision and Hog
market, yesterdays Louisville Courier OBJ
serves:
There is still demand for mess Pork, but
the transactions to- day were limited to 200
brls. sold on New Orleans account for $l5
cash. The market was rather depressed to-
day, and but little was doing. The demand
for Bacon on orders continues fair, with sales
from jebbers at S@8&c for Shoulders, lOc.
for rib, and l2c. for clear Sides. The above
are the quotations asked for small lots to fill
orders, but in large lots they could be pur-
chased below that price, probably as much
as &c. decline. There seems to be general
want of confidence among the Provision men,
and nothing is done except for cash, ,and con-
sequently in these times OF financial trouble
but little can be done.
In the market for green Meats nothing can
be done; dealers are refusing to make any
offers, and also refusing to buy at the price
asked by packers. There is nothing doing
in Hogs. The market is dull, with no dis
position on the part of either buyers or SELL
ers TO operate. The market closed dull, and
all of the houses have been killing. The To-
