Saturdays Louisville Courier says of Fri
days Provision market:
nc change of Importance to notice. The de-
mand for mess Pork was small, with lots of
barrels at SIT for city packed. There are
but few buyers in the market, and they
were not disposed to purchase above imme-
date wants. The market closed dull, with
rather a disposition on the part of holders
to realize. The demand for Bacon, on
Southern orders, continues small, but prices
are firm. Tn lots are limited at 7H@7Mc.

1890. for clear Ribs, and 1910. for clear
Sides.
Fridays New York Eeehing Post observes:
The leading features of the street to-day
are the strong feeling in Government Paper,
and the advance in Exchange on London.
The rise in the various issues of Federal
Elves averages l@l% per cent. The new
Skies advanced H@S per cent, and are
wanted at the improvement. The Coupons
close at $4,000 the registered at $3.50
95M. We notice, as an exception to the
general improvement, a heavy market for
the old Coupon Skies of 1868, which are
stil,o ffered at 95%. 1t is supposed that a
lot of this issue has recently been returned
fIom Europe. There are few Treasury
notes TO be had at our quotations. The old
issues, bearing 8 and 6 per cent due in June
next, are withheld from the market, and
would sell readily at a fractional discount.
On the, Stock Exchange extreme inactiv.
ity prevails. The prices of the speculative
shares are almost stationary, and the quota
lions of to-day would pass for a duplicate of
yesterdays market. New York Central
luctuates between 1871 and 1874, with sales
OF only a few hundred shares at each ses-
sion.
The only Railroad Stocks which show any
noticeable alteration are the Common and
Guaranteed Michigan Southern aud Erie.
Each of these rose q per cent? with consid'
cradle activity.
The speculative State stocks are rather
weak to day, under, it is supposed, a fresh
supply from the West. Missouris sold at
66H at the close, and Tennessees at 74X.
Indiana Elves are l per cent. better, with q
good demand for banking purposes.
The same number of the Epeniny Po8tre-
marks respecting New York Monetary af.
fairs on Friday;
The Exchange On London is Il per cent,
higher than by the last steamer, and rates
have an upward tendency. The leading
bankers are drawing sparingly at 1861. and
transient Bills, which were to be had for the
previous mail at 1851, are now command.
ing l06H. The large arrivals Of gold, and
advices Of further shipments, together with
the falling off in the supply of Cotton Bills,
are the immediate causes Of the advance.
Dispatches from New Orleans to-day report
a very limited supply. The sudden decrease
in the receipts Of Cotton at that point Is
having a decided influence on the Bill mar
ket. 3D.
Money on call is very abundant at 6 per
cent. Prime Paper is daily growing scarcer,
and it would be difficult to refer to a period
when 80 little new Paper was making.
First class names are wanted at COZ per
cent.
The receipts from Customs have averaged
nearly 800, 900 per- day this week, which is
ahead of the expectations of the Department.
/ The disbursements of the Sub Treasury, on
the other hand, are heavy, and promise to
continue so for the next week or two. li
The heavy receipts of foreign Gold will
give the Mint full employment for several
weeks 10 come. The 81 $50, 900 in sOEereigns
by the EtEa went into the Assay-ofice TO-
day, and viii be turned into new coin in
about fifteen OF eighteen days. The ARABIA
is expected In a few days with about 81, 5O0,-
600 more.
Fridays Philadelphia Ledger says;
While Money is abundant, there is still
little OF no business requiring its use. Stock
prices keep up surprisingly, all things con-
sidered. Many of them are higher than
