MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

In Third. street, all remains quiet, and
there is nothing new or important there;
no change worthy of mention occurring
from day to day. Monetary matters were
dull there yesterday and easy, with fair
demand for loans at some Banking houses
and ligh request at others. The supply of
Currency at the close yesterday was about
the same as on Tuesday or Wednesday
being an excess of the aggregate at the be-
ginning of last week.
Eastern Exchange was not altered in any
particular continuing firm at H@2s buy
ing on New York, and u premium, selling
on that point, at Boston and Philadelphia.
Baltimore still ruled at d discount "a par
buying, and Il premium selling. The mar
ket closed as it opened -stcady-though
rather active at the figures named.
Gold was steady at 5S@A and New Or.
leans Exchange at y premium selling rates.
Uncurrent Money underwent no change,
Iowa still selling at 5@7; Missouri, Illinois
and Wisconsin, 6@7; Wheeling City 8, and
Wheeling Branches and Eastern Virginia, 6
discount.
prices were better, all that could be bought
being purchased at 81 60 to 81 65, the sales
reaching 1900 or 2,4OO brls. Whisky con-
tinued in good request at full rates. Sugar
and Molasses were higher, in consequence of
the telegraphic news from New Orleans, and
Coffee was steady. No alteration occurred
in Grains, prime red Wheat being in good
demand at 81, though usually held Sc. higher
| and white still in limited request. Barley
was dull, and prices were so irregular that
quotations could not well be given.
The announcement of decline of So per
brl. for mess Pork in New Orleans had an
unfavorable effect upon the market here and
it was offered freely at SIT, without finding
buyers. Bulk Meats and Bacon were more
largely offered, and terms easier. Lard re-
mained dull.
A few sales of Hogs were made at Sc co to
So IS, and Sc SO was offered and refused for
a lot of dressed Hogs for the North. The
packing season may be considered nearly
closed.

Our Wednesdays New York exchanges
say of Tuesdays Stock Market:
Atthe morning Stock Exchange, the shares
Of the Pacific Mail suddenly recovered 3@
81 per cent. of the decline of the last few
days, and sales were made as high as s6 per
cent. buyer 30 days, and 971S cash. In the
afternoon, the price fell off to S6A, against
| S4H yesterday. New York Central Shares
opened at 80X, gradually fell down to 80,
and sold in the afternoon fraction below
that figure, and at 1911, seller 30 days. Erie
was firm on the cash Stock, and sold at 37(9
36% per cent, and the Mortgages of the
road were again very firm and in request,
| with but few parcels offering. The Illinois
Central Shares were frmer, selling up to so
! per cent? and the Bonds brought 96H per
cent. The other Western Shares showed less
! strength on Toledo and Galena than yester-
day, while Rock Island and Michigan Cen
tral were marked higher. There was q
steadier feeling in Hudson and Reading.
Although the political dispatches In the
morning papers from the seat Of Govern.
ment and the South, and the foreign news
by the Etnd, with 81, 500, 600 in Gold, created
| considerable talk in business circles To- day,
and were every way fayorably construed, the
| general report of the market this afternoon
is of dullness, as well as in' Foreign Ex-
change, which should have risen on the
| further import Of Gold, as in Money and
Stocks. The latter were higher on the rail-
ways at the early Board than the average
sales Of yesterday, by l@lH per cent, and
there was not much yielding at the Second
