An increased quietness was observable yes
terday in financial circles, and the transac-
tions of the day were generally light. The
demand for Currency was less than on Mon
day or Tuesday, but still it was fair, though
not equal to the supply which has been accu-
mulating during the week in the hands of the
Bankers. The receipts yesterday were light
owing to the mail and express failures to ar
rive: making difference at least 100000 in
the street facilities.
For Eastern Exchange the demand was
inferior to that of Tuesday; but the market
was very firm, and dealers were anxious to
buy on all points at 40c. prem, while all they
wished to draw for, they disposed of at Il
prem. The return of bank-notes continues
to be large. ..-...
Gold was inactive at N930 cents buying,
and 40 cents premium selling; and New Or
leans Sight Exchange dull ct N@par, and ID
@% premium.
Time-bills have been scarce this week, only
a few being offered on the East at previous
quotations. ...-
No alteration has occurred during the
week in the rates of Uncurrent Money.
Flour was unchanged yesterday, with a
moderate demand, and Whisky was in mod
