Yesterdays Louisville Journal observes:
Our Bankers drove a lively trade yester-
day in Eastern Exchange, which was sought
after at the rate of az per cent. premium,
the Brokers buying at ~ per cent. premium.
When the Banks draw on the East for Gus
toners they exact but one per cent. pre-
MUM, but such drafts are rare and aP@rlngly
made. There was considerable inquiry for
New Orleans Exchange yesterday, but
there, and the demand could not be
supplied. The nominal rates for Sight
Drafts on the South are / per cent.
discount buying and par selling. Currency
is scarce and there is no change in rates,
save, perhaps, in Tennessee, which is re-
ceiyed at 2x@l5 per cent. discount. There
was little done in the Produce Market.
Of Wednesdays New York Stock Market
our Thursdays exchanges remark:
There was quite a moderate business done
at the morning Board, without any impor-
a points, except in Panama, Virginia and
Missouri Sizes. The transactions were
mainly for cash, and of the time sales, sell
iers options predominated. Illinois Central
since the closing of the books, has lost its
performance, and the price has declined
about A per cent. A corner. now begins to
draw in Panama, the certificates being
scarce, and the bears requiring some LOO
| shares to meet contracts made about thirty
days ago at 95@100. This corner, like that
in the New York Central, is simply the re-
suit of oversales of the bears. The market
opened at 104, and under small purchases
advanced to 107. The statement that the
Government would furnish conveys to the
steamer of this route from Aspinwall had
some influence in strengthening the market.
The shorts having supplied their immediate
wants the Stock was afterward offered at
log. New York Central is scarce, but the
quotations remain very steady. The sales
show about / per cent difference between
cash and seller thirty. The business in the
Western Shares was restricted, at a mode
rate decline ron yesterdays prices, Between
the Boards there were few transactions al
the full closing prices of the Board.
The Second Session was marked by dull
ness, but prices as a whole were unchanged.
With the exception Ofthe advance in Panama
and Missouri Skies, there was no feature
worthy of notice. The latter advanced to
40, under a .scRrtitv of bonds, and a rumor
that the July int 1t would be paid. We
could find nc ao0G authority for this rumor,
and presume it grew out of the stand taken
by General Harvey against the action of the
Legislature, which, it is supposed, will pre-
vent the misrepresentation Of the funds pro-
vided for the payment of interest. With a
better supply of bonds and less pressing
wants of the bearers. Virginias to-day fell
off 4 per cent, selling off Az, cash, and 46,
seller twelve. A small sale of Georgia Skies
was made at 60; Louisianas at 81, and Cali
fornias at rs. In Government securities
there were sales of $4,000 Coupon Skies
1881, at s6@s6H, which is a shade lower
for the registered SO was bid; the fves were
offered at yesterdays prices, without buyers
At the close the market was steady, but very
dull.
Thursdays Tribune observes in regard to
Wednesdays New York Monetary affairs:
The market for foreign Bills closed with
more frmness at the last moment aud 1854
was paid for leading Sterling. Very large
purchases have been made by Bankers Of
merchants Bills for the purpose Of importing
Gold, giving sixty. day Paper in. payment,
The next Cunarder, it is reported, viii bring
over a million in Gold, ordered sometime
since. With the amount by the Persia, il is
estimated that the importstions will reach
nearly ten millions Of dollars, and then after
a short interval recommence in return fol
the Bills sent out within the last week or ter
days.
We have no change to note in Money. Or
demand, the supply is over. abundant at SO
6 per cent, and in some cases at 4 per cent
on Government securities. The offering a
Bank are falling of, but the issues of Bankers
Paper in payment for Exchange assists then
in keeping up their lines. Only prominen
signatures 60 in the open market at 79s pc
