business and Financial Summary of
the Past Week.

uuFlnR Lne week, increasing some from uaS
to day and the demand for money being
2 moderate only, the market has ruled easy
t throughout the week at l0(9l2 per cent
t the regular houses being prepared to take
more paper than was offered at these rates
l No good paper offering outside, because ali
which is considered good can be sold to the
, regular houses at the above rates
Time bills on the East are in demand
with but few offering, at 7(09 for 60 and 80
day, and lie per cent. for 4 months. A. bet
ter demand for New Orleans bills, and 30 to
60 day bills at8G9l0 per cent. per annum.
The demand for sight exchange improved
at the close, and for both Eastern and
Southern it was quite active at the close,
and for the latter rate advanced to par buy
ing and prem. selling, owing to the fact
that sight exchange on New York has declin-
ed in that market to ] discount Eastern has
not changed, but the market closed very
firm. We quote:

The produce markets have been sluggish
during the whole week, and the amount of
| business done has been quite limited Flour
was very dull, but holders remained firm,
! and would not make any concession, having,
a continued strong faith in the future; and
| at the close, under the favorable advices by
the steamer from England, the feeling be-
| came frmer, and the tendency of prices was
| upward, though the prices with us being SO
far above aaAhipPing point, that exporters
must hold ~ for a further change. Yes
terday 1900 brls superfine was taken by a
shipper at So 10, delivered at Lawrence
burg, Ind. Several contracts made in the
early part of September and latter half of
August for 1st of October delivery, were
settled at S. 10, making loss of 20 to 40c
per brl. to the buyers.
Wheat was dull all the week up to yes
terday at 81 l0@l Is for strictly prime Red
and White; but at the close a good demand
arose for both, and Red advanced &c per
bushel. The receipts have been quite liber-
al the last few days and the exports light.
Corn has not changed, and has been in
good demand from the distilleries, at SOC
for ear in bulk; and 57@59c shelled, in
bags. About 10000 bushels were sold at
35937c for future delivery, and 4Oc on |
the spot. 1t seems rather early to gather |
new corn, but We uodtrstand that it is well |
matured as it usually is month later.
Oats sold at 3Ic in bulk up to yesterday, |
but fell back to soc ; closing rather dull.
Rye has been in active demand, and nd
vanced to 7o@72c. The sales during the
week add up $4,000 bushels. Barley has
been in better supply, and the market be-
came dull about the middle of the week,
falling back &c per bushel, closing at 750 |
Soc for the lower grades, and 90@95c for
the best samples fall. Barley Malt sells at
95@$1 O5.
Whiskey did not change during the
week good demand fully up to the sup
ply, closing firm at 18&c.
Cheese advanced to l0c. for w. r. and
the demand rather in advance of the supply.
This trade is in an exceedingly favorable
position this fall, the receipts being taken
as quick as they arrive, at high prices
Butter remains unchanged, but the supply
is light and the demand for all kinds is
good-the packers paying 100Ilc for fair
to good, and prime fresh bringing 15@16c.
and scarce. In market fresh retaiIs at 25M
SOC, in rolls, and 2O@22c. in crooks.
We notice some demand for Potatoes at
81 1901 20 per bril- on arrival, aud 81 35
from store. Onions may be quoted at
81 COOL IS per brl. large size brls.
Timothy seed is selling to a moderate ex-
tent at 81 25(92 so, and faxseed at 81 10
per bushel; but there is no clover offering,
and no inquiry for for it. The crop is re-
ported to us good, and saved in excellent
condition.
Up to within the last day or two of the
week the market for provisions was very
dull and nothing of consequence doing
Monday demand arose for bacon shoulders,
AVID yesterday for mess pork, and this result
ed in sales of 200 hhdsof bacon at 840ll3
for shoulders and sides, and 300 brls mess
pork, first class brands, at $l8. Second
class brands are Offering at $l7 75.--
This caused the market to close
irmer, and holders asked &c for
bacons hOulders last evening Nothing
done in bnlk meat, and indeed we may say
there is very little of it now in the market
SO that prices must be regarded nominal
Clear bacon sides may be quoted at l34@
135c The stock Of lard is exhausted ex-
cept a thousand kegs or so, which are held
at I3c. Butchers lard is selling at lie
without barrels We heard of no contracts :
for new stuff during the week, for future de-
livery. Not much inquiry. There are
parties willing to take mess pork at SIG for
December, and bulk meat at Ct and ST | !
and lard at ! 0a for November, and I0c for
December but the Cincinnati packers gem
orally are not disposed to enter into con-
tracts for the future, either as buyers or
sellers, preferring the legitimate to the spec
ulative trade, and therefore seem disposed to :
defer their operations until the season fully \
opens. With reference to English bacon, a
we did not hear of transaction during the c
week There are buyers for future delivery
say the last half of December, at SIC for.
Cumberland middles, 81 for long rib ditto
% for long'clear, AMI q for short middles, |
but those disposed To sell ask 4c higher. !
Hogs on the spot declined 25c per GENITAL
during the week closing at So 25O5 so for !
slop and So COOS -. for corn fatted per
GENITAL gross. For future delivery prices
have been easier; 1000 head sold at Sc so
to be delivered the first three weeks of No
and Sc IS for all December, clos.
ing with fair demand at these rates, and
not many Offering.
