We have but very little to say on the general
paper market. There is good demand for first.
class mortgage securities at about 10 fsct. 1t is
hardly necessary to ailude to commercial or fact
ors paper, because there has been so very little
issued as to place the general paper market hors
du combat. AS for paper of second and third
class, parties have contracted and reduced their
obligations to pretermit the liberal issues of pro-
misses to pay, which have for years past swelled
the porte.feuilles of money lenders consequently,
money lenders having very little else to do are at.
tempting by the aid Of figures, to define whether
the war will last one, two or three years. but none
of them entertain the idea of sarrenderng or sub
hitting to the Hessians. But in the meantime,
we take the liberty of suggesting to our capitalists
TO come forward and advance, build eauip and
furnish navy; subscribe and pay literally for the
benefit of our volunteers and soldiers and the days
Of good cent. per cent will speedily return.
The stock market has been rather quiet for two
days past, owing more to the advancing preten.

shares Bank of Louisiana at 16o-another advance;

The exchange market is quiescent, and under
the general suspension of trade, it is useless more
than allude to the fact that some small sums of
sterling are passed daily at from l24@125 and l2s.
Inland exchange is plenty, and ranges from 2@3 y
Ct dis. The gold market was fat Dealers were |
not paying over 80 yet. The Southern Bank has |
been advancing and selling gold to go to Tennessee
and Kentucky for the payment of our troops and |
volunteers. A few thousands of dollars in gold |
and silver go great way now in furnishing sup
plies in these two States, and it is fortunate that
the demand can be supplied without trespassing on
the local wants.
We append below the monthly return of bag |
gings rope and salt. The salt accounts figures ND
much more largely than expected:
