nothing transporting to note any material
change. The demand for mess Pork for
consumption is fair, and to-day 400 brls
were sold at SIT for city packed, and SIG rs
for country brands. Buyers are contending
for a decline, and, if a small decline were es-
tablished, large sales could be made upon
speculation; but holders are very firm at
our quotations. The slight advance which
YVES established in bulk Meats yesterday
could not be sustained to-day, and the
market closed dull at &c. for Shoulders,
and nc. for Hams. At q decline on the
above quotations good sales could be eff
ftcted. There is but little doing in Bacon
outside of the filing of small Southern or
ders by jobbers, at TIC, for Shoulders, 9Mc
for rib, 1OHc. for clear rib, and l0Ac. for
clear Sides. In large lots for packers, Ba-
con could be purchased at a decline of nc.
on the above quotations. The market closes
firm. The demand is principally for Bacon
Sides, and the stock of this is much reduced.
There is q better demand for Lard, but all
orders bave readily been filled at former
rates. The market closes very firm at Sc
for t%ierces, and 9Nc. for kegs.

Concerning Fridays Stock Market il
New York, our Saturdays exchanges OBJ
serve:
The Stock Market continues dull, but
prices at the close to. day were uniformly
better than they were yesterday. At the
--r-.-- fh.e u,0w.s--o ,a4I.- 49,. Fill.
began to manifest itself, when the news pei
ATdgO, announcing a decline in American
Securities and Consols, operated to check
business; the transactions at the morning
Board are the highest that have been
recorded for some time. United States Sc.
%curities continue in fair demand, at full
prices. Missouris and Tennessees are taken
for investment as fast as they come from the
West for sale. Erie improved 4 from the
depression of yesterday, but was quite dull
We understand that several thousand
Shares of this Stock nave been sold out by
holders, partly foreigners, within the past
few days. From the tone of the market, il
looks as though it could not stand any
further supply of Stock. Central is inactive,
at a small advance. The Western Shares,
Including Illinois Central, which appears to
have declined in England in face of the re-
port, were all a fraction better this morn.
ing. After the Board the market was firm
though dull. in the afternoon Stocks wert
generally better, but very little was done
The tone of the market was equally dull
and firm.
Saturdays Herald remarks respecting New
York monetary matters:
There have been some sales of merchan,
disc lately, and there is rather more Paper
in the market to. day. All that is frst.clas!
goes readily at GOT per cent. We hear o
single names going at Z. Doubtful names, OF
Paper which is believed to represent claim.
in the Southern States, are passed with grea'
difficulty and at high rates. Stock brokers
are borrowing all they want at 5 per cent. OF
railroad and 6 per cent. on the stocks of thu
Border slave States.
Foreign Exchange advanced again to-day
Bankers asked 1917 for sterling and 5.25 fol
francs, and a fair business was done at thesl
rates. There are no Mercantile bills to b,
had, and at the South the Banks have put vi
the rates even above ours. II seems to b
expected, in consequence, that a further
advance in bills is not unlikely, and import
eIs who have means are fastening to avail
themselves of present rates to remit. Witt
Money at s per cent. here and s per cent. il
England, specie could be shipped from New
York to London against bills at about 1881
without any loss. As, however, the LondoT
Money market will ease up, and the Banl
will reduce the rate of interest as soon al
the news of the improvement in Exchange
here reaches Europe, it is not likely tina
there will be any shipment from this side fO
some time to come. The Arago, which ar
rived here this morning, brought SAG, 932
the produce of bills drawn when Exchang,
was down to l04@l05.
