The tonsors in general have full employment for
all their surplus and are well remunerated at from
1920 and 24130 Get. But these may be isolated
instances. 1t is manifest, however, that there is
great falling off in the amount Of money seeking
employment this season from last year-over four
millions Of dollars less.
The Exchange market to-day opened rather
quietly, and moved along under some torpidity.
The banks were buying very little. The counter
rate for checks on NewYork was steady at prem;
though two banks asked /, the asking was not con-
frmed by any sales. Outside double Al was held
at par, at which figures there were sales, and also
sales at 1-l6th dis. For good and fair sight the
rate ranged from par to an 18th dis. on the street.
Three days sight sold at SIG dis. AT the banks
and with real AL drawers the selling rate Of sight
on New York was steady at par@s prem. In time
bills we note sales of sixty days sight (old fogy
bills) at I11t dis, and other good to fair bills at
from lI@ls and II dis, and bills through the tigers
have been done at 1902 get. dis, SO the range OF
sixty days sight rules from 1f9ia to 2 get. dis.
In Sterling, the market did not present SO firm an
appearance as for the three past days. We note
sales of Clear Sterling at l0s4 @l0sa In Document
Bills, of standard make, the sales ranged at from
1O7s@lO73 and 10s though there there have been
some jockey bills transferred at l01@l074. The
market was operated on after meridian by dis
patches received from the other side, suspending
all transactions with some and certain parties. 1t
was not our province to inquire directly into the
nature Of these advices. They who are deeply in
terested will know from what causes depression
;,,e Thpra Uer few
of francs on Paris direct-the rates from 5.234
@5.17a, and extreme rates from 5.25@5.l5. Very
little cotton going forward from here to the En-
pire, and what few commercial bills of francs are
offering appear to be on Havre, Bordeaux and
Marseilles.
We have very little to say about stocks, and
omit our table of quotations. The chief sales this
| week have been Of Bank Of New Orleans, Levee
| Steam Cotton Press and Jackson Railroad Shares.
To-day there were sold 100 shares Union Bank at
par. There has also been sale of Gas Light Com

Hotel We learn that the directors of this Com
pany intend to declare dividend of 81 so y share
