Currency is still in good supply, but there is
no surplus, although the stock is sccumulat-

Yesterdays Louisville Courier says of
Wednesdays Provision Market;
The market for Provisions was more ac-
tive to-day, and the demand for mess Pork
was good, though no change is noticeable in
prices. The market closed firm at SIT for
city packed. The sales o-day were 634 brls.
mess. There was a small inquiry for Rump
Pork at $11 SO. Country Bacon is arriving
only slowly, and all that arrives meets with
a ready sale. We quote from wagon at 81
@6Ac. for Shoulders, &c. for. Rib, and l0c.
for clear Rib Sides, and SIC. for Hams.
Lard is quoted at sK@sAc. for brls. and
91zc for kegs.
We learn that the packing season has
closed at Chicago; and that the total number
of Hogs packed there will not exceed 225,-
900 head. The stock of Pork in that city is
estimated at l6, 900 to II, BOO brls.

The excess over last year, says the New
York Herald, is greater than that of last
week, but less than the average of previ-
Gus weeks. An additional million of dol
Ion dollars, worth of produce bills must,
however, nave its effect on the Exchange
market, and may in part account for the diff
ficulty which bankers experience in selling
their Exchange. If the above ratio be kept
up till the end of the year, the exports from
this port will exceed those of last year by
something like SEQ, 000, 000-fully as much as
the exports from Southern ports are likely
TO fall off in consequence of the political
troubles at the South. The exports of cot
ton from New York is quite large.
Wednesdays New York papers thus refer.
to Tuesdays operations; r.
The Money market is unchanged. On
call Money is worth 6 per cent; Paper of
the highest grade ranges from 6 to Z Paper
of a lower grade sells at all kinds Of rates.
We hear of no failures within a few days /;
the prospect of a recovery in business, based
upon the prevention of civil war, is encour-
sging merchants to make an effort to main
tain themselves a little longer.
The Foreign Exchange market is dull, but
bankers are firm in their rates. The leading
houses are buying at lO5K@A, and selling
at LOG; but there is very little demand for
Bills from the importing trade. At present
prices, with the rate of interest in England
at s per cent, there is no profit on importa-
tions of Gold from Europe. #
The Stock market continues active, and
brokers are kept busy. A large proportion
of the operators who have been buyer for
the past few days sold to realize profits this
morning, and prices, in many instances, gave
way in consequence. Illinois Central fell
Is. New York Central Il, Erie q, Rock Is
land p, Galena Is, Reading IA, &c. State
Stocks were very firm; Tennessees were a
fraction higher. All the various descrip-
lions of Governments dealt in were also
quite firm. After the Board the market was
dull. The new in the street confirms the
intelligence of yesterday with regard to
Fort Sumter, and the amount of outside
business increases. At the close to day the
market was steady, at a fractional decline
on the speculative list from the prices of the
morning.
