COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.

Third-street was rather quiet yesterday,
but still the demand for Money was good,
with an easy market for first-class Paper and
approved securities at the rates that have
prevailed through the greater part of the
season-lO@l2c. per cent.
The receipts of Currency from day to day
are considerable, and the Bankers are in a
comfortable condition respecting finances,
though they accumulate no surplus. The
demand for loans does not diminish materi-
ally, as it usually does with the advance of
the season, and consequently all the capital
of the street finds employment.
For Eastern Exchange there was less de-
mand Yesterday with some of the Bankers,
while others reported it close, and stated that
they were compelled to pay 45c., in addition
to returning bank-notes to keep up their
supply. The regular figures were 40c. buy
ing, and 16 premium selling.
Gold was quiet at a@40c., and New Or
leans in fair request at 3Oe.(9% premium.
| Some parties were offering d yesterday for
| Southern checks, but could not obtain them
at that price.
In Uncurrept Money we heard of no alter
alton; Missouri ruling at IA and Illinois
| and Wisconsin at discount.

Flour was unchanged and quiet yesterday,
and Whisky unaltered, with the demand and
receipts about equal. Oats advanced in con-
| sequence of light receipts, and Rye declined
&c. per bushel; but Wheat, Corn and Barley
did not vary from our last quotations.

brls. country brands sold forinterior. delivery
at $l7. Cut Meats were still nominal, and
