and Money was in large demand Tor the close
of the week and the present times. The
ebsckines were considerable, and Currency
somewhat decreased in volume; but still the
market continued easy for first class Paper at
lc012p er cent. at the Discount houses, whose
lines have been materially augmented with
in a few weeks.
The Bankers are disposed TO supply, and
have no trouble in supplying, the wants of
their customers at the current rate, though
thew are less willing than they were q week
ago 10 purchase outside paper. Indeed, little
of that kinds offered ofan acceptable charac.
ter; good names usually finding their way to
the regular houses.
Eastern Exchange remained firm on Sat-
urday, but the supply was better than it had
been, and the margin greater consequently
between the buyingand selling rates. Deal
ers gave 5000 on New York, Is on Phila-
delphia, and A@2s on Boston, but drew as
before on those points at e premium, andon
Baltimore at par.
Very little was done in Gold or New Or
leans Exchange at K@6 for the former and
4 premium for the latter.
Uncurrent Money underwent no change.
Missouri was purchased by the Bankers at 6,
Iowa at 3, and Illinois and Wisconsin at 8
discount. Round lots Of the Notes of the
last two States could have been sold H@l
per cent. better but 8 was the general mar
ket price. Wheeling stin ruled at 8, and the
Branches and Eastern Virginia at discount.
The City Bank of Columbus, which has been
l discount, is now placed on the list Of Bank
able Funds.

the limited sales being almost exclusively
for the South. Superine was purchasable
at 81 so. Whisky was inactive, and de-
clined &c. per gallon. Wheat was dull, aud
white was lower. Ear Corn, Oats, Rye and
prime Barley were firm, and Groceries un-
altered.

ID respecting Friday:
st The demand for Exchange was not so lar
as to. day. and strong hopes are entertained tn
a good decline in selling rates will soon
to had. On New Orleans the demand is gu
be limited. The Eastern balances of our Ban
lg ing institutions are very fair, and there seel
no good reason why they shoui1 not,
April, be down to the old rates OF %@l P
ut cent. for Eastern Exchange. To-day I
rs selling rates are 81 premium on the E'
be and South, with most for Bankable Fun
li- and 81 for CuIrency-dealers not maxi
this distinction of ! per cent. in favor Of
lie. souri, Funds. 1t is so discounted becau
Exchange at Chicago rules at the high II
D1 of 8 per cent. premium in this Curren'
=, and we have to be governed 70 some exte

bS Were it not for the inability of debtors
iHS our Banks TO meet their Bills, there woJ
evidently soon be o lowering in Exehan
he rates. This inability may, however, preY'
