Financial Affairs &
IN Monetary affairs, yesterday, there was
little change from the day previous. The
arket continued easy with a moderate
Cemand, and a supply of Currency in ex-
cess of the requirement Eastern Exchange
was rather inirm, and Gold and New
Orleans Sight-checks were steady and in
fair request.
During the week ending last evening
though business improved in Third-street, it
was more quiet than usual at this period of
the year. Money was in better demand, and
the stock of Currency nearly the same as the
previous week; the supply being more than
sufficient for all the legitimate purposes Of
trade
The applications for Loans continued
moderate, and few borrowers were seen
in the street. The rates for first-class Paper
are unchanged, ruling as before, at lO@l2
per cent. in the regular quarters and $50
"a for second class and long dated in outside
circles. t..
The price of Eastern Exchange is un-
altered, but the market is less steady and
was rather heavy last evening at L@95

paying q only to good customers. The
Ohio Valley drew, as usual, for their patrons
and friends at 25 prem. E.z.

The New York telegram to the Chamber
of Commerce, yesterday, announced de-
cline of &c. per brl. in Flour, with sales of
10000 brls.; and also in Wheat of &c. per
bushel, while Corn advanced 1c. per bushel
From New Orleans nothing was received.
Our Flour market was still very dull.
with limited demand, the sales being con-
fined TO small lots. Whisky was steady,
with good demand; 1,2OO brls. selling at
l6%@l65sc. Provisions continued quiet;
there were small sales of Bacon at SIZE, and
92sc for Shoulders and clear Sides; and
green Hams were in good demand at &c.
Groceries were dull and heavy, with light
transactions in all articles. Wheat, Corn,
Rye and Barley were firm, and in fair re-
quest, but Oats were spiritless.
Hogs were dull, holders asking Sc 81 for
delivery within ten days; buyers being un-
willing to give as much, though they offer
that price for immediate delivery for which
hardly any Hogs can be had. Hogs are
offered freely at Sc 75 for delivery the last
ten days of the month but to these rates
purchasers are not disposed to accede. Gem
elally, operators declare prices are too high,
and that they must and will come down to
Sc 30 before the close of the month. We
heard Of sale Of 100 to $50 20O-pound Hogs
at Sc $500 81 net, for delivery at the close
of next week.
