Yesterdays Louisville papers say:
There has been no change whatever in the
Money market since our last, save in the
matter OF Tennessee Curren ney, which we
quote at 10 per cent. discount, an advance of
per cent. on the former rates. Eastern
Exchange is plentiful at = per cent. prem
ium selling, and l per cent. buying. New
Orleans Exchange is nominal at par selling,
and per cent. discount buying.
Fridays Tribune observes in regard to
Thursdays New York Stock market:
There was no marked activity at the Stock
Board this morning. Prices were irregular,
but generally had downward tendency.
The news from Europe was considered salts
factory, but there is so little vitality in the
market that it is difficult to engineer any
advance. In isolated cases the scarcity Of
cash Stock gives the Bulls temporary ad-
vantage, but there are none of the usual
CLIQUE movements for continued rise. There
is still no support to the market from the
public, the action coming entirely from the
changing tactics of the street operators.
There were no important changes in the
Share market. In the Bonds of the border
States the business was to the extent of
$l36,000 the quotations having an upward
tendency. The improvement, however, was
not marked excepting in Georgias, which
sold at SO. Between the Boards the market
was steady, but without activity, excepting
in New York Central which, under ten.
porary demand for certificates, went to 1879.
At the Second Board the business was ex-
tremely light, but quotations were well sus
tanned. Central was offered freely on sellers
option, and declined to 70 regular. In State
Bonds the market was steady at morning
prices, excepting the Georgias, which de-
cliued per cent. In Tenness sees there was
an improvement of y per cent. In Govern
ment Bonds there has been very little done
10. day, and the market is steady. There is O
fair investment demand for these securities,
and the pressure of them on the market ap-
pears to be partially relieved 10 the street,
after the Board, there was very little done
and no change.
fridays Times speaks of Thursdays New
York Monetary market as follows:
The market for Exchange on England, fol
| Saturdays mail, is about the same as for the
| packet OF Wednesday. To make any con-
| siderable sales of Banks and Bankers Bills
| lO5L0l053s, is accepted, while the whole
range of quotation is l054@l05% per cent
Merchant Bills are done at l0349l04M pei
cent. In Money affairs we hear of no move
ment of importance, Demand Loans are
made at 596 per cent. per annum, and som'
| 80 to 60 days Paper made by the leading
Bankers, for the purchase of Exchange i
! placed readily at per cent.
The Maine underwriters have reversed
their determination of last week in regarC
to the War risk, and are again inserting th
| War clause in consideration of the extr
| premium of only per cent. The last &C
counts from Europe remove all previous sus
! picion of the encouragement OF priyateerin
by the English Government.
fridays Tribune says of the New YorI
Dry Goods market:
The same prostration of trade in the gen
eral Dry Goods department exists which W
have hitherto reported, and no encouraging
feature presents itself, except the continu
ance of the export orders for heavy CottoI
This is quite important, in the absence @
the usual home demand, and will reduc
accumuations which would otherwise
apparent Therefore heavy Sheetings an
Drills are held with great firmness, and fey
weak holders are offering. The same ma
be said of Printing Cloths and standar
Bleached Goods, the holders of, which al
not anxious sellers, in view of the limite
production and the increased cost of th
raw material. The shipments to China alon
during the past two weeks have been large
equal to a daily production of five huI
dfed packages, and the clearances as r,
ported by the Custom house tables, to th
British Provinces and the South America
markets have been satisfactory.
