Financial Affairs.


Third-street again presented quiet OPP
pearance yesterday, the week opening with
much less animation than on the previous
Monday. The demand for Money was linz
tied at all the houses except one or two,
where the Checkings and applications tor
Loans were considerable. Currency is
scarcer than il was at the beginning of the
past week, owing to the close asserting of
the Bankers, who are enabled only in that
way to keep up their supply.
Rates were as before-l09l2 per cent. for
first class Paper in the regular quarters, and
1S@24 per cent. in the street. The amount
OF acceptable names offering is small less
than some of the Bankers desire.

day at Is buying and 4 premium selling.
Gold was still quiet at A@2s premium, aud
New Orleans Exchange dull at A@k dis
count and par to u premium.
UnCurrent Money was unaltered, Western
Currency still ruling at discount.
The Flour merchants supposed their
staple would further advance to-day and
were unwilling to sell in the morning at
Saturdays quotations. but the New York
news dispelled their hopes, and the market
became dull at So to So 10 for superfine, and
So Is to S5 30 for extra, with important
sales.
Whisky was in more request than on Sat-
urday, and 1000 brls. were disposed Of at our
last quotations.

was held at $lS for prime city brands.

prime white. Barley was in good request.
