There has been but little change in I'M
current money. Kentucky has passed more
freely, the bankers taking it at Ia J dis
There is very little Western currency offer
ing.
The advices from other leading cities re-
port general stagnation in business, money
abundant, and but little legitimate demand
for it. In New York sac per cent. for
call loans are the quoted rates, but hardly
any demand. The bank returns made in
New York last week show large decrease
in loans, and an increase in specie. Atwood
l. Co., private bankers of New York, have

The World of Saturday says:
| The money market is dull and inactive.
| Capital is in excess for all first class loans,
and rates are quoted at i've to six per cent?

/ The weather was quite bot the greater
| portion of the week, throughout the whole
| West and very favorable for maturing the
wheat crop. A sudden change took place
in the temperature on Sunday, the Their
mometer falling 25 degrees in a few hours
/ but yesterday it was warmer. There has
| been no rain, and the atmosphere is clear
and dry, which will stop the ravages of the
worm and fly, of which there has been great
| complaint.
Business continues greatly depressed in
! the Provision and Breadstutf departments,
and not much done There has been but
very limited demand for -four, and prices
ruled irregular and nominal to a great ex-
tent. Superfine has been offered at 81 Is

brands range from 81 rs to S..
! Wheat was in good report in the fore
part of the week. but became very dull at
the close, and prices declined } cts. per
bushel, prime Red being duh yesterday at
soc, and White at 81 1901 y.
Corn has not changed and ruled dull at
28c. The demand is quite light. Oats decin-
ed to 24c for common in bulk, choice Wheel
ing selling at 26c in owners bags, at the
| wharf 1t has been difficult TO sell them
| however, at the quotations, and We notice
lot Of heavy Galena on the market, at 24c
last evening, and the highest price offered
| for them was 23c.
Rye dull at 4sc Barley not in demand,
but not much offering.
Whisky advanced in the early part of the
week, to l3c, but this rate was not sustain
! ed, and the market closed duh at l24
OLA.
Butter very dull and prices lower; the
whole range being 5@8c per b.. the latter
rate for choice. The supply is in excess Of
the demand.
Cheese dull, and prime new retailing at
| 6(063c. The market is overst0cked with
potatoes, and the best dull at 5 per bril-.
at the close. We notice small parcels of
new in the retail market, selling al 40c per
| half peck. There has been az active de-
| mand for coffee, and prime to choice ad-
| 7auced 4c per 10. The sales add up 1000
bags, prime selling at 144c, and choice at
| l4Bc; Laguyra, of which the supply is
| quite large, is held at &c. Sugar is firm
e. and the demand fair, but prices are IN
changed; fair to good fair, 53GG64c, and
prime to choice, 63@74c. 1t is deemed
quite probable that a duty viii be placed
upon coffee, tea and sugar, by Congress, at
its next.meeting, which is one cause of the
irmness in these articles. Molasses is dull
and the demand light at 3O@)32c.
Lipseed oil is a shade frmer, and in fair
demand at 53(954c, the latter the retail
price. Lard oil dull at 7O@75c. Coal
very dull at 40@45c. Petroleum not SAL
able.
The provision market continues depress-
ed, and prices greatly unsettled, so much
so, that prices have been merely nominal.
All articles have been offered upon easier
terms, but there was no demand. Mess Pork
was on the market yesterday at SI4 0O@
1925; bulk pork at 4(96c, including pack
ages; and Bacon at 1865, and &c for
Shoulders, Sides, and Clear Sides. The
stuff offering is composed of lots held for
speculation by commission merchants who
are compelled to sell in order to protect
themselves, the margins being about ex-
hausted. There is ne demand, however, for
consumption, and none can be found dis
posed to buy on speculation. Lard IS offer
ed at sic, without buyers. Sugar cured
hams Toe; common hams nominal-no quo
tations can be given for them. The demand
for sugar cured is very light.
