Financial Affairs.
From nine to eleven o'clock yesterday |
morning, nearly all the banking business of !
the day was done; the celebration of the
Twenty-;econd seeming to occupy the atten-
tion Of the usual hdbitueS of Thrd-st None
ta1y matters were extremely quiet-more so
than they had been for two months-and
there was no change of consequence in any
thing The supply of Currency was as it
has been for more than week past-rather
in advance of the demand.
Firmness was still the feature of Eastern
Exchange, yesterday, and Baltimore, being
in better request, was purchased generally at
4 discount. In New Orleans Exchange and
Time-bills there was no variation, and little
was tTanspiIing in either.
Gold was higher with some dealers, who
asked q premium, but it could be procured
at the old rate of u to fair value.
Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri Paper was
still purchased, in Third. street, at per cent.
discount, with a light supply and brisk de-
msrd.
The rates of Exchange and Coin, last
evening were;

Yesterdays Louisville papers say of Thurs
dsy:
The Provision market continues dull and
weak, with but few buyers in the market
for Mess Pork at our quotation. The sales
to day were only 10 brls at SIT 25 Bacon
was quiet at former rates. Bulk Meats and
Lard were quiet with nothing doing.
WeiSesday's New York Evening Post has
the following:
The Stock market is extremely quiet, but
finn, with recovery of 1S9N per cent. on
the prices Of yesterday. The business to-
day was chiefly for cash, and the scarcity of
Stocks On the street is again generally re-
marked. The speculative feeling of the
market is confined almost entirely TO two or
three leading railway shares, of which Illi-
of this Stock to day were mainly by the
same Brokers who were prominent sellers,
recently for English account.
Illinois Central, Galena and New York |
Central are in active request for delivery |
among Brokers' The scarcity of Shares ma |
teIially inteTteres with the calculations of the
operators for the Fall Their daily wants for
delivery alone impart TO the market a firm
tone and support prices.
Money is easy on good securities and very
dear on doubtful Paper. Call Loans range |
from to per cent, and first class Paper |
rom TO eper cent, while all not classed |
"ANo. /" goes from to per cent month. |
The Banks are active competitors for good |
Bills at the legal rate and we hear of short |
dates going at Ga per cent.
The market for Treasury notes is gradually
hardening, and few of the twelve per cents.
are obtainable at 1927. The ten and three
quarter per cents. sold at l0l, and more could
be placed at the same figure. Higher views
are being entertained in regard to the new
loan, end e6@97 will probably secure only
small portion OF it. For the Skies of 1868
07 is bid at the Stock Board,
The Exchange Market is quiet but firm.
