The closeness of Eastern Exchange con-
tinued yesterday with very little, if any, i'm
provement upon Wednesday, and dealers
were generally short and unable to meet the
demands made upon them. The Bankers
were desirous of buying from each other as
high as 6Oc.; but only occasionally could they
find any one who would SELL The offerings
are very light, and dealers depend almost al
together upon asserting, which is done more
closely at present than it has been for weeks
past. Several messengers are expected to re-
turn here in day or two, and it is thought
the market will be easier with the opening of
the week.
The extent of the present asserting ofbank-
notes curtails Currency more than the regu-
lar demand for it; but still there is enough to
meet legitimate wants. We do not hear of
any complaint from business men who have
| accounts in Bank, where they are accommo-
dated, as before at l0@l2 per cent.
Gold, owing to the scarcity of Exchange,
is in request for shipment and dealers would
| pay 5O@55c. readily for any amount, if they
could obtain it.
The rate of Iowa, illinois and Wisconsin
was lowered yesterday to lAe. discount, in
/
the paper. Michigan still rules at Nc. dis
| count.
Business in Third-street yesterday was un-
usually active; some Bankers declaring it
dull.
Flour was firm yesterday, with fair de-
mand for the extra brands, while superfne
was neglected, and nearly nominal. Whisky
in good demand at nc. per gallon higher.
Groceries without alteration. Mess Pork
was firm, without any demand of conse.
quence. Clear Bacon Sides and bulk Meats
were in better request, with an improved
/ feeling in Lard. Prime red Wheat advanced
as did Shelled Corn. Oats and Barley re-
f mained steady, and Rye dull.
