COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.
Monetary and Commercial.

SATURDAY EVENING, April z.
Monetary matters were rather more quiet
yesterday than on Friday, or even Thursday,
with several of the bankers but the demand
generally was good for Currency, which
seemed in less supply than 1t was at the
close of the previous week.
The market continues easy for oil business
Paper at 1Oal2 per cent? and some parties
complain that they can not get such names
as they want at that price; but, so far as we
can learn, most Of the idle capital can be very
readily employed at these figures.
Eastern Exchange was in less demand yes
tertay than on the previous day; but still It
was in excess of the supply, aud some deal
ers continued TO pay over 40c. premium for
good bills on the leading points. The selling
price was still very stiff at q premium,
though dealers sold TO each other occasionally
fraction below that rate,
In Gold little was doing, and we heard oil
no transactions Of consequence in New Or-
leans, either sight or time.
Uncurrent Money was without change; the
Brokers being more willing, than they were
TO buy Illinois and Wisconsin at &c. discount.
Flour was in better demand, yesterday.
and the market firmer. Whisky was dull
and prices were dropping. Provisions were
| extremely heavy and transactions unimport-
ant. Nothing done in mess Pork or IN
| Shoulders. Lard was unchanged nominally,
but there were no sales. Wheat continued
good, with a firm market. No variation oc-
Cured in any kind of Grain. The transac-
tons in Hay, Cheese, Butter, Apples and Po-
tatOes were, in the aggregate, very consider, consider
able, but no change of consequence occurred
in any of these articles.

during the twenty-four hours ending yester-
day noon, were:

Fridays Tribune thus speaks of Dry Good
in New York..
The movement in general Dry Goods for the weel
has not been important. The larger houses are don
ana Illinois and Michigan trade, but the genera
market lacks vigor, and the dealers evince littl
spirit. The auctions attracting more attention
and the losses incident to the sales are marvellous
and the deliveries include nearly all the prominen
foreign markets.
Tho package business has somewhat improved fror
, | the fact that many large clothing houses, whic
G have hitherto withheld their purchases have bee
o | in the market and moved many OF the low woolel
4. which were accumulating.
