Yesterdays Louisville Courier says of
Mondays Provision Market:
The Provision Market was firm, though
buyers were disposed to hold off to await the
course things will take the next day or two,
and consequently will not purchase above
immediate wants. The sales to- day were
limited to some 200 brls. of city packed at
SIT %, at which price the market closed
buoyant. At the close of the market prices
had a tendency upward, and holders were
less disposed to sell than in the morning.
The demand for Bacon was good, and the
market closed very firm at the advance
established Saturday, with sales of nearly
100 casks at 73sc. for Shoulders; 9Ac. for
and l0Mc. for Clear Sides. Bulk Meats and
Lard were dull, with nothing doing.
Our Mondays exchanges say of Saturdays
New York Stock Market:
Before the session of the First Board, a
very heavy feeling was displayed and prices
were marked down nearly or quite 2 per
cent. on leading stocks in the guerilla trans.
actions of the street. The first operations
Of the Board were consequently of the same
character, and a sort of ~semi-panic seemed
to take possession of the market. New York
Central, Erie, Hudson River and Others of
our local stocks fell off decidedly, and the
disposition to sell appeared to predominant.
Before the Western shares anne up for con.
sideration, however, a private telegram was
read to the Board, stating in confident terms
that the Virginia Convention would not
pass a Secession Ordinance, and from that
time to the close of the session the market
had a hrmer aspect. The Western shares
were quite active, and although somewhat
lower, were in good demand at the decline.
Illinois Central, Galena and Toledo were the
most active stocks, all. at a decline of about
u per cent; but in the closing transactions
for each there was a good disposition to buy,
and the session closed with a stronger feel
ing. Between the Boards the dealings were
not large, and there was no decided change;
but at the afternoon session the disposition
to sell increased, and, with but one or two
exceptions, prices were lower than at the
morning Board. After the adjournment, a
more cheerful feeling prevailed, and the last
prices of the day were slightly better.
Mondays New York papers remark:
The Foreign Commerce at this port con-
tinues TO exhibit the same favorable features
that have marked it for the past three or four
months. The imports for the week are nearly
1000, 900 less than those tor the correspond.
ing week last year, the falling off being con-
fined entirely to Dry Goods, while the i'm
ports of general Merchandise even show an
increase, The weekly exports are twice as
large as those for the corresponding week
last year, and more than three times greater
than those for the same week in 1885, and
the aggregate exports since the LIST January,
for the three years, bear about the same pro-
portion to the other. The Specie export of
the week was triAing, being principally to
Havana. The Dry-goods Jobbers have been
pretty actively employed during the past
week in supplying the Southern demand,
merchants in Charleston, Savannah, Mobile
and New Orleans having made extensive
purchases in order to avoid the duties im-
posed by the new tariff of the Southern Com
fedeTate States on goods bought after the lst
instant. The demand from other sections of
the country continues moderate. The Gus
