MONETARY AND OOMlIEROIAL


tced since the beginning OF the week char
scterieed Third-street yesterday, and beyond
some improvement in the Monetary trans
actions and an augmented frrnness in East
ern Exchange, there was no alteration from
Wednesday. Money was close, but the de-
mand not pressing, and Currency in fair sup
ply for the season and the time.
For Boston and New York Checks, dealers
paid 4 and some times %, aud readily sold
oil they desired at 4 premium. Philadel-
phia was steady at 1S@K and q premium,
and Baltimore at x discount@par and 4
premium buying and selling rates. New
Orleans was quiet at ION, and Gold
rather dull at Ss@A premium.
In Eastern Time. bills a few transactions
occurred at IL per cent. per annum. In
Uncurrent Money there was no change of
consequence. Missouri, Iowa, Illinois,
Wheeling City, (Ya.,) and Wisconsin notes
going at discount while the Wheeling
Branches and Eastern Virginia ruled at
discount. ..H..
The New York Monetary news yesterday
was unfavorable; Stocks being dull and
somewhat lower. Breadstuffs declined, and
Provisions were unchanged. Flour was dull
here, and prices were unchanged. Whisky
was unaltered, with fair demand. Grocer
les were quiet, and the lower grades were
dropping. There was no special change in
Grains, except in Wheat; both red and white
declining. .ar.u .s....
Provisions were dull, and all kinds de-
pressed. Mess Pork was offered at SIC 70,
end $l7for country and city brands in ex-
cess of the demand closing dull and heavy.
Hogs were as dull as Provision, and rates
became low and irregular; prices ruling at
| Sc 25@$6 65, with sales of about 300 or 400
| head.

The following is a comparative statement

The above table shows that the export
movement continues very active, being
nearly double that of the same period last
year.
Our Wednesdays exchanges thus refer to
Tuesdays New York Stock market:
There was quite as much excitement on
the Stock Exchange to. day TO sell on the fall
8s there was yesterday morning TO buy on
the rise. The market yielded gradually on
the first call of the list especially on State
Securities and New York Central but before
the dealings were through the Western
Shares, the disposition to press lower sales
was very decided. And soon after the ad-
vices from England by the Marathon, to the
purport Of rise to 7 per cent. in Money at
The Bank of England, and of rather lower
markets on that side for Cotton, Grain, and
American Stocks, were made public, these
were availed of to precipitate the decline;
so that at the Second Board in the afternoon
there was further fall on the Railways of l
az per cent, and considerable business
doing on the printed list. Later In the after
noon the tendency was to some business
again, and a recovery of about per cent,
though still leaving the quotations from 3
to 8 per cent. lower on the active specula-
tives than the highest on Saturday afternoon
and early in the day on Monday.
Wednesdays Herald says of Money mat
tiers in New York;
Money Is easier again 10 day, and we have
to report quite fair business in Paper at
per cent. Fair average names go at to
IL, according 10 standing, &c. The amount
of Money offering on call at is in excess
of the wants of the street. 1t will thus be
seen that Money is already cheaper here than
il is in London.
Foreign Exchange is dull. Bankers ask
l06H for Sterling, and 5271S(030 for Francs.
We hear of sale of Bankers Bills at 1867.
The best mercantile Bills are held at lO6(9
q. 1t is evident that at these rates there
can be no return of gold to the other side,
and the hopes expressed by foreigners, in
their last letters from Europe, to the effect
that rates would soon revert to the old
figures, and the Specie current set Eastward
once more, are not near their fulflment as
yet. There is fair profit on importatons
of Gold against Bills at to.day's rate,
