iirst-class Paper in the regular quarters,
where none but customers, however, were
supplied. The Checkings aud the applica-
tons for Loans were considerable, aud the
stock of Currency continued to decrease.
Business in Third street has been brisker
this week than for a number Of weeks past,
and every department of trade seems to have
acquired a new impetus. Our merchants ap-
near in better spirits and more confident of
the future than they have since the COM
mencement of the year.
The firmness Of Eastern Exchange con-
tinued undated yesterday, and with several
dealers the supply was inadequate to the
demand, at Is premium; dealers giving 40
4Oc, and sometimes 45c. on New York. The
purchasing price on Philadelphia was q, and
on Baltimore par9N per cent, while the
selling rate On the last point was A@1 pre-
MUM.
We heard Of no Gold sales Of importance,
but the price was, as before, H@2S and 20
e premium, buying and selling New Or
leans Exchange was dull at par and 4 pre-
MUM, and Time bills were unaltered.
In Uncurrent Money we heard of no
change Missouri still selling at G; Iowa at
8; Wheeling Virginia) City 5; Wheeling
Branch and Eastern Virginia C, and Illinois
and Wisconsin Z discount.
Flour was in better demand here yesterday
and firmer, 81 so being offered and 81 60
asked for super6ne, the sales reaching LOO
barrels. Whisky was unchanged in rate.
Molasses and Coffee were firm, and holders
of Sugar were sitter. There was a better
demand for Wheat on account of the re-
sumption of several mills to-day, prime red
advancing &c. per bushel. Ear Corn and
Rye were steady; Oats dull and prime Fall
Barley &c. higher. Provisions we're quiet
with moderate transactions; the demand
seeming to have declined. There was no
variation of note in quotations.

Yesterdays Louisville Courier says o.
Thursdays Provision Market:
The Provision Market was weak, and a
decline of 25c per brl. was established, with
only q small demand at the declined prices.
Holders were willing to sell at that price,
but buyers seemed disposed to hold off in
hopes of a still further decline, but we are Of
the opinion that prices will be no lower this
season.
~ Is tD6 general USlleI mere I0aJ the de-
mand from the South will he large, which
will sustain prices here. The sales to day
were limited to 300 brls. city packed mess at
$l7, and 500 brls. country packed at the
same price. The demand for Bacon contin-
ues large, and it generally meets with a sale
about as fast as made, and the market is very
firm at 7%@7%c. for Shoulders; 9Ac. for
Rib, 10H@l0%c. for Clear, aud lOAc. for
Clear Sides. Bulk Meats and Lard are dull,
with no sales reported.
Thursdays New York Times observes in
regard to Wednesdays Stock Market:
The new Government Stock was less af.
fected to day than State Securities aud the
Railway Shares. Railway Mortgages were
also comparatively steady, and Fries aud
New York Oentrals, aud some of the best OF
the Western Mortgages, in fair request. The
United States Registered Stock, Just Gre
ated, brought 93H per cent the same as yes
terday's closing, and the Coupon Stock,
with the July coupon paid, 81 per cent.
Some further parcels of Tennessees, Mis-.
souris, &C., are believed to be supplied by
the Illinois Free Bankers, and as the invest.
ment demand is less decided since the gen.
eIal depression in the market, prices mani
fest weakness. We do not learn that the
amounts taken out of the Bank Department
at Springfield are important, but they come
forward nearly every day, and this way
sfford a steady offering at the Stock Ex-
change.
The first additional break on the Share
list this morning was on New York Central,
which, 1871 yesterday morning, fell to II
yesterday afternoon, and to 76@75S this
morning; subsequently rallying to 77H@%
per cent. at the Second Board. The fall in
Reading was much heavier, at first to 80
per cent, subsequently rallying to Az per
cent; Illinois Central, Galena, and the
Michigan roads were also weak, the first.
named at one time as low as 76 per cent,
Tallying to 1871 per cent. Erie fell to 80
per cent, and rallied to 32X. Later ia the
afternoon the market was again unsettled,
and not quite so good on New York and
Illinois CeDtrals as at the Second Board, and
frmer on Michigan Guaranteed.
Thursdays Tribune remarks respecting
Wednesdays New York Monetary matters
The business of the Clearinghouse to day
was $la2ll 798. The new Government Loan
and Treasury notes were quiet at private
bargains. There is no pressure to sell, but
the investment demand appears, for the
present. to be satisfied. Lower rates are &C,
cepted, and Notes can not be sold to any ex
tent better than TO pay the buyer 9 per cent
interest. Some s and 6 per cent. Notes arr
selling, for the payment of duties, at H@2.
per cent. discount. Gold continues to go t
Philadelphia and Boston, in settlement o
balances, but the amount is not large. The
supply of Money seeking employment OF
call is increasing, and large amounts have
been offered to day, at 6 per cent. OF choic,
Collaterals. Paper remains as noticed yes
terday, in small supply of good character
and passing freely at SOS per cent. for short
and SOLO per cent. for long dates. Tue Banl
Loans and Specie continue to show ex
pansion.
The market for Foreign Bills is inactive
but firm. Sterling is lO4H@lO6). Franc
