Whisky was in rather better request, with
sales of ass barrels at l21zc. Mess Pork was
in more demand, and before the receipt of
the New York news, 400 barrels sold at SIS
80, and 1000 barrels, delivered this month,
at SIT. After the reading of the Eastern
dispatches, mess Pork could not be had at
less than SIT 25. No change in any other
srticles. Groceries were unaltered. Wheat
ruled firm; Oats steady; Corn quiet, and

Yesterdays Louisville papers say:
There has been no variatiation in the
| Money Market, which remains quiet. Ex-
change, too, is quiet, Eastern selling at 2 per
cent. premium, the buying rate being l@lK
| premium. There is better demand for New
| Orleans Exchange, which we quote at par
selling and l per cent. discount buying.
There was somewhat more activity in the
general market. The sales of Provisions are
light at full prices, however.
Fridays New York Times says of Thurs
days New York Stock Markets: .
The Stock Market, considering that the
country is on the eve of great events south
of the Potomac, displays unusual firmness
to-day, and while speculation can not be
called active, there is a well-distributed de-
msnd for Government, hallway and State
Securities at prices which are higher by a
| al per cent. than on Wednesday. Late
this afternoon there was disposition to
buy several of the speculative Western
| Shares at the improvement, and 59L per
cent. was bid for Illinois Central. There
was also firm feeling in New York Cen
tral, and demand for several Of the Border
| Stale Stocks.
The Government registered Stock of 1881
sold at 88% per cent, the Coupons at &c,
and Treasury Paper of the IL per cent. issue
at lol@l0lT per cent Large differences
are still made in selling Virginia, Tennes.
sees, etc, on few days option and for cash.
The feeling among the spectators is pretty
strong that lower figures must be made for
these Stocks after they are fairly inynlvsd in
civil war, but the amount of cash Stock on
the street, with which TO meet maturing con
tracts as they fall due, is quite inconsidera-
bic, so we have frequent instances of 26D4
per cent. for 3@l0 days time. North Caro-
lima sold at $1,000, and Louisianas advanced
to 46 per cent. For Missouris at 10000
per cent. the demand continues good.
Fridays Tribune thus refers to Thursday s
New York Monetary affairs:
The Money Market is without change to
notice. On call, with proper securities,
there is no difficulty in obtaining all the facil-
tiles needed. Paper continues very inactive
in the street, at very irregular rates. Favor
ite names at short maturity, go at Gas per
cent, while the bulk of the Paper offered is
| passed with difficulty at IL per cent. per
aunum up to and per cent. per month
! We hear of no further failures of importance
| within day or two. The rates of discount
on Uncurrent Money is improving. The
| Union tone of the advices from Maryland has
| produced a reduction to 3@5 per cent, and
| the Notes of other slave States which appear
disposed to continue loyal to the Union are
4 selling at better rates.
The market for Foreign Bills is dull and
unsettled. Leading Bankers Sterling could

for Bills.
