THE DAILY PRESS



Yesterday was rather quiet in Third
street; but the demand for Money was still
in excess Of the ability to accommodate, and
the market very close, without any nncom-
Portable pressure in any quarter. AT the
Discount-houses the inquiry for Loans was
large and considerable good Paper was re-
iected; while negotiations were made in the
street at 24@3O per cent.
The financial feeling is improving, and the
business of the street growing more ami
mated and healthful; while many parties
seem to think that the rates Of Money should
be lower than they have been. Some of
our Bankers report their business as active
and satisfactory as 1t has been at any time
during the past FIVE years.
Eastern Exchange was rather infrm yes
terday at previous quotations, though some
houses mentioned an augmented demand.
The demand is not heavy, nor is the supply.
New Orleans Exchange was quiet, and Geld
was in better request q being the general
selling rate.
Owing to the receipt of kilograms from
Chicago yesterday, announcing that Eastern
Exchange was very scarce there at prem.
Illinois and Wisconsin Notes were put up to
discount by our Brokers, who were not de-
sirous of buying any amount, even at that
price as they believed the price of Exchange
would 60 still higher in the North.

The Late National Fast Day.-The Rev. w.
w Bennett, paster of Gen ieHary Church, de-
iivered an appropriate discourse last Friday
morning, from these words:
Believe in the Lord. your God. so shall ya be
est1Disheh; believe his prophets SO shail We pros
per.-2d Chroa, 20 and %.
The passage was explained as reproving ne
Jews Tor want of fai h III Gnd, aud ior lis eu :
Ing too readily to the counses of false prophets
The theme deductd from The text was "a
true belief in God, the only sure ground OF
natural stability and prosperity" Alter de-
unlug what u true belief i. Gud is, and no.
ticihg that belief In a God OF many Gods,
formed an important element in the cons titu
tion OF all governments, III all times, ancient
and modern. the subject was further illustra-
ted by showing that the belief In God as the
judge and rewarder OF human conduct is the
| oasis of all huufaA flaws; that this belief
brings the whole moral code 10 bear upon hu-
man conduct, and that the stability of social
arraE cement was in exact proportion 10 the
purify of the faith of the people. Social dis
orders were traced TO the false writings of pre
ten0ed prophets, who led a az the minds ol
the people and brought on them swift de.
Struction, and to forgetfulness OF Ct ID in times
OF great national prosperity. The subject was
ably, earnestly and clog quently discussed, and
ihe peroTatlon peculiarly impressive and ap-
pr"prIate. The unparalleled progress If me
| country was graphically skel lched, al The pc
culiar relation or The Sou theru people to theII
| slaves sugges ed and out of that relation II
was insisted an obligation grew which Chris
| tians could not throw of. Prayer tor peace
was urged, bu, peace was lot TO be sought by
| the sacrifice of right. That must be main
| tained, its maintenance deIuged the land In
