MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
'ci Financial Affairs
The inquiry for Money, yesterday, was
unusually large, in consequence Of the pay,
ments maturing on the eth; but most of the
liabilities were promptly met very little
more Paper lying over than there was on the
4th ult. A number of Notes and Bills be-
longing to manufacturers, having had deal
ings durirg the present year with the South,
were laid over from the inability to collect
anything in that section at the present time.
The Monetary market continued close, de-
Cidedly SO, with a general indisposition to
do any Paper, even the very best when it
could possibly be avoided.
The accommodations extended at present
are very light, and high rates are no induce
meht to purchase Paper, which can be
bought at 24@3O per cent per annurn with
out the least difficulty. Indeed. sc per cent.
would be paid in some instances for temper
airy Loans, if they could be, with undoubted
securities The supply of Currency contiu-
ues steadily to decrease, and the market Is
growing more stringent.
Eastern Exchange was generally called
steady yesterday, though some dealers
termed il little heavy, but the selling rates
were unaltored. New Orleans Exchange
was in more demand, and the Bankers were
offering par for prime Sight Checks, aud
charging Is premium. Considerable orders
were received from the country and adioin-
ing cities for Exchange, and this, with the
Drafts made for remittances for collections,
induced a sitter market at the close.
Time-bills were generally quiet, IL per
cent. per annum being about the rate for
those on the East and South, though we
heard of some transactions on the former
quarter at 8 per cent, which was below the
market

but rates were without any particular
change. Our quotations were as annexed ::

aging. Here Flour was still very dull, and
the demand limited. Whisky was in active
demand, and firmer. Groceries were quiet,
and Grains underwent no particular change.

demand, mess Pork selling at $l4.25, with
more buyers than purchasers at the close.
Green Meats were in good requCs aud Lard

esterdays Louisville papers say of Hogs
Hogs have been without animation, and
at nominal rates at the past week. Several
lots were offered but found no takers at auy
rate favorable to holders. Probably sc. net
is the highest price at which Hogs could be
sold n time. The killing progresses rapidly

around the Falls up to this evening, against
@7Sl head to the same time last year, when

Saturdays New York Eeeaiag Post OBJ

The Stock market is better to day, but as
yet gives no decided signs of returning
activity. The railroad Shares close IN i'm.

from intimatioDs that the President, in his
