Yesterdays Louisville Courier says of
Wednesdays Provision Market: q.
In the Provision Market to-day but little
was doing. The demand for mess Pork was
small, the sales reaching only so 0brls. city
packed at $l7. The market closed quiet,
though holders were firm at our quotations.
There was nothing doing in Lard or bulk
Meats. There was but light business
doing in Bacon to day, the transactions
being small to fill Southern orders.

days New York paper, much better thau
last weeks, and the increase over last year
is again augmented. In the course of a re W
days navigation will open, and the exports
OF Western Produce will increase again; so
that after all, Notwithstanding the decline in
the export of Cotton, it is possible that the
general export movement of the next month
or two, may show no decline MS compared
with that of last year. The export of Bread
stuffs and Provisions to Liyerpoolshast week
amounted to about $750000.
Wednesdays Times observes respecting
Tuesday New York Monetary matters;
There is no change in the Money Market,
though capitalists are less anxious than they
were TO lend their money. The new loan
will create an inquiry for Money for the
next week OF so.
The Foreign Exchange Market gave way
| again TO- day, and no considerable sales of
| Bankers Bills were made at yesterday 3
rates. Most of the leading bankers continue
to ask 1857 for Sterling, and 5.22H for
! Francs; but at these rates there is no in-
| quiry. We hear of some sales of Bankers
| Bills at lOS, and of Commercial Bills at l071z
