MONETARY AND COAIMEBCIAI.


Yesterday disclosed about the same con-
dition of Financial Affairs as prevailed dur
ing the past week. Monetary matters were
Quiet and easy; the Discount houses doing
all the frst-class Paper offered by their Gus
toners at 10@l2 per cent. Their lines have
been extended recently, but they are still
limited for the season, though the presenta-
tion of names is greater now than it was
few days ago.
Eastern Exchange remained firm and un- |
altered yesterday at q prem. selling on the |
leading points, and par on Baltimore; deal
ers paying g on Philadelphia and New
York; 4 on Boston, and u dis. on Balti-
more. New Orleans Exchange was quiet
but steady at 4 prem; one or two dealers
refusing to draw better than q, which is
above the market.
Gold continued in rather limited supply
and demand, at 5s@A prem, and Incur
rent Money was unaltered; Western Cur
rency being somewhat heavy at the rate of
dis.
Flour was unchanged here, and in mod
crate request, while Whisky continued in
good demand at full rates. Wheat, ear. Corn,
Oats, Rye, and prime Barley were steady;
Coffee and Sugar still firm, and Molasses un-
settled, as it was last week. Bacon con-
tinued in better demand, and sales were
made at an advance; holders being sitter at
the close. Mess Pork was in limited request,
and in Bulk Meats nothing was done, but
they were firmly held.
The following are the Imports and Exports
during the forty-eight hours ending yester-
day at noon:

Yesterdays Louisville Courier says of Sat-
urdays Provision Market:
On Saturday the market was again dull,
and although holders were willing to make
| concessions, buyers were not inclined to
| purchase above immediate wants, and the
sales were again limited, amounting to only
| l55 brls city mess at SIT, and 700 brls. coun-
try packed, in different lots, at SIC 75@l7.
We are confident that the stock of Provis-
ions in this and adjoining States is much less
than at the same period for several years
previous.
There was small inquiry for Bulk Meats,
with sales at &c. for Shoulders and SIC. for
Rib Sides. Lard is quiet, with small in
quiry at SIC. for No. and 9Hc for prime,
The iobbers are filling orders at nc. for
Shoulders; l0c for plain Hams, and lie. fol
canvssed sugar cured; 9Mc for Rib Sides
and lOA@lIc for Clear Sides; l0c. for Lard
in tierces and l0Hc. for kegs.
