Financial Analra.
Yesterday was as quiet in Moneyed circles
as any Of its recent predecessors, and there
was no change from Wednesday worthy Of
mention. The Bankers reported funds easy
with moderate demand, and that they ac-
commodated their customers to moderate
extent by taking approved Paper at 1O@l2
per cent. Little first class Paper, however,
is being made at present, and second and
third class grades are Dotnegotiable in inside
quarters, and are therefore thrown into the
streetswhere they sell, if at all, at 24@3O per
cent. per annum.
Eastern Exchange remained firm at 4
prem. on the Leading points, but the demand
was not large, though fully equal to the sup
ply. Baltimore ruled at h@1S dis. buying
and pa@K prem. selling. New Orleans
Exchange was quiet at p, and Gold steady
at 5s@A prem.
Illinois and Wisconsin notes still sold at Z,
and Missouri at dis; while other Uncur-
rent Money was unaltered.
There was no particular change in our
Produce Market, and transactions generally
were light, as will be seen by reference to
our daily report.

Wednesdays New York papers say oi
Tuesdays Stock Market:
The Stock Market was quite firm to-day,
and yesterdays decline was more than re-
covered. The news from Virginia was re.
9arded as encouraging for the Union; when
! Virginia Skies were called at the Board this
morning, three hearty cheers were given for
the Old Dominion. Private letters from
| Washington were more hopeful, and in ad-
| dition to these elements of renewed spirit,
| some outside orders made their appearance,
attracted by the recent decline. New York
| Central rose per cent; Erie and Hudson
| River as much Harlem and Reading, each,
| A, Guaranteed III; Illinois Central, Az
| Galena, ~; Toledo, 3; Rock Island, 3; Bur-
| lngton, 2X Pacific Mail, AZ State Stocks
OD luO OTlRulSn6u aspect OF the
| political horizon. Tennessees rose 215; Mis-
souris, l; Virginias, ~; North Carolinas, O.
| After the Board the market was seidy in
| the afternoon, every thing was strong at the
| quotations Of the morning. The market
| ciosed firm.
In regard TO Tuesdays financial affairs in
New York, Wednesdays Herald remarks:
The Money Market is unchanged-rates
rule from upward for Paper, and from to
| for call Loans. We hear of several fail
ures lately among the smaller houses en-
| gagged in the Southern trade, and quite q
number of these houses are reported to have
| obtained private extensions. Until within a
| few months every one was anxious to
| sell to the South, and 90 any terms; the
result which has occurred would have en-
sued, in any event, from the mere overtrad-
ing of the past few years. 1t is hoped that,
| if any arrangement can be effected at Wash
ington, or if peaceable separation can take
place, large proportion of the Southern
| Indebtedness may prove good. Much, in
| this regard, must depend VI on this years
| cotton crop. Thus far, we hear that the
preparations of the planters are progressing
satisfactorily.
Foreign Exchange fell heavily to day. At
the commencement of business l06@I was
about The rate for Bankers Bills; but as the
udy huFanceu tne mhrheJ Brduually became
weaker, and in the afternoon First-class Bills
were sold at 59515, and Mercantile Bills OF
the highest class at Az. Rates became very
irregular. Some houses declined to sell
| under 107, while others followed the market
down. This unexpected decline in Exchange
will strike Europeans most unfavorably, and
will have tendency to revive the panic
which the advices taken out by the three OF
| four last steamers must have allayed. Al
present prices Gold may be proftably i'm
| ported into the United States.
