From The Cincinnati Price Current, Nor. 81
Commercial and Financial Summary
for the Week.

The uneasy feeling in financial and COM
merCial circles noticed in our last weekly
summary, increased during the week, and
the want of confidence became marked and
general toward the close, under the very
discouraging advices from the Eastern mar
kets, where business has been partially sus-
pended, and a tightneSs in money matters
experienced equal almost to the crisis of
1857. The Cincinnati bankers, thinking it
indispensable to be cautious in case this crisis
should spread, curtailed their discount bust
ness quite largely, but the wants of cur
merchants being limited, the pressure is not
felt to any alarming extent, so that the mar
ket is really quiet, though close. The mon
ey market in New York, and indeed all
the Eastern cities, is exceedingly stringent.
Sterling exchange is down to cal discount,
and almost unsaleabie. State stocks declin-
ed 5 to 10 per cent. during the week In New
York. and railway shares l5G925, and all
this when the basis of the c0untry's pros
perity was never more solid or broader.
This state of things cannot exist long, be-
cause gold will come from Europe in large
quantities Immediately; il must come, if
SterIinr Exchange remains at discount.
There is no doubt, however, that great
deal of money will be lost pending this
panic, but there will also be great deal
made after it has eliminated. No doubt OF
this.
Rates of exchange have not altered much
duripo the week. The demand for Eastern
has been fair, but for New Orleans quite
limited. and at the close, rates for the latter
were lower and nominal, owing to an ad-
vance in sight in that market to } prem
for checks on New York. Time bills on the
East and South are nominal. We quote.

making decline of So I23 during the


Prices of mess pork declined to $15 IS,
and market dull at that 1t was offered
quite freely, for December delivery at this
rate, without finding any buyers. There is
an unusual Indifference to buy for future
delivery, and there is less doing in this way
than at this season for some years past.
There seems to be no confidence in the cur
rent prices beyond the present moment.
Green meats declined TO 5, Z, and q for
shoulders, sides, and hams, and some sales of
the latter were made at 7 }, closing nomin
al as regards the two former, and with but
moderate demand for the latter. Lard has
been bought to q moderate extent, in lots of
so to 100 bbls, to fill current orders, at l0{,
closing nominal at IO4.
Some sales of bacon shoulders were made
at 84G8S, but at the close these prices We're
nominal.
The grocery market has been very dull,
and sugar and molasses further declined,
under the advices from New Orleans. The
decline in molasses has been l0c per gallon
during tho week, and sugar &c. Private
advices from New Orleans by telegraph last
evening, quoted molasses at 25GG27c, which
was an advance of 2c per gallon. Sugar is
selling at 6@64c for fair to fully fair in
that market.
