The same features which we have from day To
day commented on comprised the movements in
the money market te- day. There are very mode
rate call for money among the tonsorial gentle
men IN faca, this perssnnel Of the money polite
may be considered as non est. IN
I'M aud about the banks the same staqnapcy
i which We have before noted prevailed, There are
some rchases of bagging, rope and hoop iron ;
some dray loads Of baeon, fair sales Of -four corn
and oats for local consumption We are receiving
ny every steamboat from Memphis good shipments
cf these several articles. As the, demand Ion for
aeign export u light, the home conaumptiFe demand
isaupplied at very moderate prices
a In the general iobbing trade for the week there
has been very little done. Some few ordersaf Tor
plantation supplies have been received and filed.
But TIE general trade market has been on a par
with sckly season, when of course, there " az ne
business doing. There may be many remarks on
The present stagnation Of business, but when we
come 70 seratiTize the position Of affairs closely it
viii be found that there is about as much local
business going on as in the seasonof an epidemic
Is therefore, out Of plnee for some folks to say
these are herrid times. The times may be terrid
bat they are not horrid so We suggest that snarl
and GROWERS in general, just compose
thenlselVes. Is they have any connections with the
NORTH Black Republican association they may
as well settle mp at once. We do not understand
how ~ many Of ON citizens branches and CO.
partners should De- passing tile summer IN North
erns States When their presence is required here
The statutes and laws now in effect will, of course
! make 4 demo nstration. We shall soon know who
are fer us and who are against as. The branches
Northern houses have either got to lienidate 1T
once, or the principals must come lithera and take
the oath Of allegiance show themselves or be pro-
scribed el At once. "A Northern face and Southern
on the same scalpal will not pass these times.
The general Exchange market appears to be fol-
lowing il the footsteps Of General Dallness There
are some few bills Of sterling exchange offering,
which buyers do not seem to snap at freely at IQ4
20 JOG. The banks ask higher rates, but the de-
nand i feeble tits useless totalk of francs only
that rents due some Of our citizens have to be re-
mitted. Parties interested, however, will do well
MOTTO permit their letters to pass through the do
minions of Lincendom.
There are sums OF uncurrent money issues Of
distant banks Offering daily to our brokers on
Camp street The notes of the banks Of Tennessee,
Virginia, South Carolina and Alabama, all sell over
the counter Of the dealers 81 from s012 act. dis
Silver coin ID becoming scarce, and in active de-
rnapd. The half and quarter dollars under the act
Of ls53, which have been selling for two years
past atfrom hal and saet. dis, are now scarce,
and in active demand at par. Gold is worth from
a 70 s if2ct. prem.
Itis uggested that the Confederate Congress re.
peal the act suspending the coming operations Of
fhes Branch Mint. Although there are no large
sums Of bullion coming, it would be we'll that the
Director and Superintendent Of tile Mint should
have discretionary powers Ill the premises, which
would probably rebound for the good Of the
country.
