Saturdays Financial business was irreg-
ulsr; some houses reporting . heavy, aud
others 4 light demand for Currency buh
generally, the transactions were lighter than

ID During the o or three last days Of the
week, business fell off with a number of the
Bankers, who began to regain Currency;
but on Saturday the aggregate stock was
materially less than on the I'd inst. The
applications for Loans at the Discouut-
houses were moderate, but as large as the
houses cared to grant at the usual inside
rates for prime Paper-10@l2 per cent. per
annum. The line between good and ordin.
airy customers was very sensibly drawn dur
ing the week, and the latter were generally
denied accommodations at the figures just
mentioned being compelled to pay as much
as Is per cent, and some times more, in out
side circles. ..e .l5..
Eastern Exchange remained decidedly
firm at 4 premium on the leading cities, and
several dealers were more DESTROYS of buying
at 4C@45c. on New York, than selling at the
market price. The tendency of Exchange
was upward last week, and it would have
advanced but for general disposition to keep
IL down.
In New Orleans Exchange and Gold very
little was done on Saturday only a few
small sales occurring at our quotations.
Time-bills were very quiet, and Uncurrent
Money was dull and unchanged, except Mis-
souri,, which was purchased readily at 5 dis
count in the afternoon, when the announce
ment of the decline in Exchange at st. Louis
to 5 premium was made known in Third
street. Iowa still ruled at 8; Illinois and
Wisconsin at 4; Wheeling (Va.) City at 5;
Wheeling Branches and Eastern Virginia at
G discount.
Our rates of Exchange and Coin at the
close of Saturday were;

ing day of last week. Flour was in fair de-
mand and firm at 81 so to 81 60 for super
fine, and 81 60 to S. for extra brands.
Whisky was in good demand and rates were
unchanged. Groceries were firm, and Pro-
visions quiet, with small demand and very
light offerings of the latter. For mess Pork

no sales of consequence. Bacon was dull,
and Lard and bulk Meats were quiet.

Touching Stocks and Monetary matters
in New York, on Friday, the Evening Post
ofthat date remarks:
The Stock Market is firm to-day, and
prices generally A@l per cent. higher.
There is no special activity, yet a few orders,
in the absence of any desire to sell, advanced
prices l@lH per cent, without bringing out
but a moderate amount of Stock.
The foreign news is more favorable than
the previous advices had prepared many to
expect; and this, together with quieter in
telligence from the South, contributed
toward a much better feeling in financial
circles.
The new Government bonds were frmer;
in fact all the Federal securities are in bet
ter demand within a day or two. Treasury
notes are 4 per cent. better, while the fves
of 1874 are not offered below 87H The
| cfvad &c 1901 -ns-tnwrI 1all - nng/ -
which no large lots could be had.
In the State Stocks there is an improve
ment of l@lH per cent. Missouri Skies
sold largely at &C, Yirginias rs; $4,000 Ohio
Elves of 1865 sold at 80.
Money is moderately active at sal per
cent. on call, while Paper is extremely dull,
at 6@7 per cent. for A No. l names.
The Adidtic, which was to sail to morrow,
has been Withdrawn till Wednesday mex, TO
take the place of the AustrdLasian. The
EdinbuTg will take the regular Saturday
mail. The Exchange on london is firm at
lO5M9l06. Francs are quoted at 5.37K@
5.33A.
The new Federal Bonds arrive slowly.
The delay is occasioned, no doubt, by the
changes making in the Treasury Department.
In a few days large amounts will, it is ex-
pected, be ready for the takers. 0ae party
who paid in $1,000, 900 fifteen days ago, has
not yet received $40, 600 of the sum in Bonds.
