COMMERCIAL AFFAIRs.


| Monetary and Commerctni. u o.
The large indebtedness Of yesterday was
promptly met, as was generally anticipated;
no Paper but that of parties without credit
being allowed to lie over or going into the
hands Of the notary. As many Of the notes
falling due were collections from the East,
the remittances will be apt to decrease the
supply Of Exchange, without, however, rem
derfng IL scarce. ."
Yesterday, the demand for Money was ma
terially less than was supposed IL would be,
and the Bankers experienced rather a limited
request, although the checkings upon de-
posits were heavy, reducing somewhat the
supply Of Currency held last evening in the
banking quarter.
Eastern Exchange was without alteration,
with steady, though not large demand, at
| a buying and 6 premium selling rate
| Gold was in less demand than Il had been,
dealers generally giving no more than 35c.
across thecounter and selling at 4 premium.
! Choice brands Of Flour were in active de-
mand yesterday, TO fill orders, not only here,
| but from the interior and consequently the
fullest rates were obtained. For ordinary
! grades, however, there was little request.
The sales of the day reached $500 brls. at
SO 7O@5 80 for extra, and s. 90@6 for white
wheat; atancylot commanding Sc %. Whisky
! was dull and Nc. lower Wheat was firm
! for prime qualities. Corn active, with light
receipts, Rye steady. Barley dull, and Oats
declined. No change in Groceries, which
continued dull. Mess Pork could have been
purchased at SIT 20 yesterday, but parties in
the market would not offer over $l7 and
transactions were, therefore, light. Bacon
was still held above the views of buyers, and
holders of Bulk Sides asked nc. more than
was offered. I'D ...-.'

| New York Monetary matters on Wednes-
day are thus reported in Thursdays Times:
That the transfer OF six or seven millions to En-
gland this month, Is regarded by some ofour sound
est Bankers as movement rather to be desired, on
account Of the American interests dependent on
the steadness of the Cotton trade at Liverpool and
Manchester, than postponed, Is quite certain, and
the Exchange has been placed at the specie
accordingly. No sales London have yet been
made at the extreme figure, one of the prominent
drawers supplying Bills To-day at iOgss, but the quo
tation is called lO9fai09A percent.
The market for Money is easy; large line Of sixty
day acceptences choice names, placed to-day at
per cent, per annum, and the Brokers are selling
temporary Loans on Stock collateral at the same
rate. Trade Paper, of a prime character, running
ninety days to six months, discounted at from 5g

and steady this week. The Customs to-day only
