EN.MMLN-A nMnANAs WH.H|I
Money was still in fairidOmand yesterday,
for Monday, but, generally, financial affairs
were quiet and there was no change Of con-
sequence to report in any department., The
Monetary market remained easy at lo@12
per cent. for first class Paper in the regular
quarters, and the stock Of Currency was
more than sufficient to transact all the legit-
innate business doing in Third. street.
Eastern Exchange continued firm at 20
4Oc. buying and u prem. selling, but there
was no activity in the market. New Orleans
Exchange was dull, but dealers offered to
buy generally at II discount, on account Of
the decline in New York checks there to q
premium, as reported yesterday to the Cham
Der of Commerce. The selling rate was par,
ss before, but there was no inquiry worthy
of mention for Southern funds.
Gold remained decidedly quiet at u buy
ing and 9s@K prem. selling.
Uncurrent Money ruled yesterday as we
have already stated but there was dispose
tion 10 put up the oldsTennessee Banks to
81 and discount instead of three the rate

Yesterdays Louisville Courier says Of
Saturdays Provision Market;
Provisions remain unchanged, with but
q small demand for mess Pork, and to. day
only 100 brls. city packed were sold at SIT,
holders being firm at that price at the close
| of the market. Holders meet the demand at
our quotations, but they are not anxious to
force their stocks. The demand for Bacon
is fair for Southern account, and the jobbers
| are doing good business at 112c. for
Shoulders; 91Sc. for Rib Sides; 10Lc. for
Clear Rib, and 1014c. for Clear Sides. Lard
is held firm at 914@lOc., though holders are
generally holding off.

Saturdays Times observes respecting Fri
days New York Monetary matters:
We have had a quiet day in Money and
Exchange affairs, affording very decided
contrast to the feverish anxiety displayed on
the Stock Exchange. Discounts, both-at
bank and on the street. are comparatively
dull, owing to the moderate amount of first
class business Paper seeking accommodation
The rates, according to time, vary from to
per cent? the really desirable lists of in.
dorsed Bills of this class being taken at OF a
fraction within 6 per cent. Exchange for
