Sunday New Orleans Delta says of Satur.
day:
Business of every kind is still partially
suspended, and the market wears an exceed
ingly languid and inactive appearance. The
war movements form the all absorbing tonic
of conversation on the street and in the
counting.room, and the surrender of Fort
| Sumter at so early date has impaired a
thrill of joy to the entire community. AS
| hostilitieS may continue for an indefinite
| period, however, there is an increasing dispo-
sitiOn to restrict operations ofevery kind, and
| all parties have resolved to await future de-
velopments before entering into new engage
| ments of any magnitude. The Exchange
! Market was very fiat to day, and transactions
| included no round amounts of either Foreign
or Domestic, but there was less anxiety man
| ifested to press sales of any description, in
view of the heavy falling off noticeable in
the supply; and yesterdays figures were
generally maintained all round.
We repeat quotations as follows:
Clear Sterling Bills, 61z@7 per cent. prem;
Bill of Lading- drafts 5000 per cent. prem
Francs, 5.2713@5.37H per dollar; Sixty day
Bills on New York, &c, l@lH per cent
dis; Sight, N@K per cent. prem.
The Discount movement has exhibited no
change of any kind, and operations were
quite limited, both at Bank and on the street.
Offerings of desirable Short Paper are still
rapidly diminishing, while the demand for
all grades OF long. dated signatures shows
an unmstakable abatement.
Wednesdays Times says of Tuesday New
York Stock Market:
The Stock Exchange was again under the
Civil War excitement, day, and the Sc
rious apprehension now felt about the prob
able action of the Border slave States caused
an additional depression in North Carolnas,
Nirginias, Tennessees and Missouris There
was quite a free offering of Missouris, aud
the price fell to 80 per cent, seller 10 days,
the lowest figure ever touched by this secu-
rity: During the worst Of the Money panic
OF 1857 they went to 57(959 per cent for
few days. At the early Board North Caro-
linas were done at TO- seller 10 days, and in
the sttern oon Virginias were offered down
to 571E per cent, making the decline since
Saturday about II per cent. Tennessee sold
at &C per cent. On Federal Stocks the addi.
tional decline is 14<915 per cent. The Rail-
way mortgages are comparatively teady,
with but few parcels Offering, while the Rail-
way shares recovered rapidly, in most in.
stsnces, from the extreme depression of Mon
day.
Cash sales of New York Central were
made between the Boards at 733s@73% per
cent, alter being done at the early Board at
IN per cent. When the deliveries of the
day were completed, the price returned to
% per cent. Erie improved TO 2224@23;
Illinois Central to 6611 @66, as against Ga
yesterday evening. The recovery in Read
ing, Galena, Toledo, Harlem, Michigan Cen
tral, Hudson and Michigan Guaranteed was
lH@2 per cent, with good manifestation
of a speculative demand, embracing con-
tracts at 10000 days. The Share Market,
however, underwent frequent fluctuations
through the day, and the appearance Of firm
ness was by no means reliable from hour to
hour. Late in the afternoon the general list
as compared with the printed sales at the
Second Board was steady on New York
Central and Missouris, but rather weaker on
the Western Roads. There was not much
late business done on the street.
Wednesdays Tribune thus refers to Tues
days New York Monetary matters;
Money continues abundant and the offer
ings on call are in advance of the wants of
borrowers, and the rates may be quoted at
406 per cent. Choice Sixty-day Bills are
sought after at per cent, good and fair
Bills at COZ per cent. High grade 300
months indorsed Paper may be quoted at
@7 per cent and commission, house six
months scceptances from 81 10 per cent.
Single name Paper is irregular, and is sold
from 7@9 to II per cent. for prime to fair.
The volume of business is small, as the con-
traction of business the past few months has
prevented the usual supply of Jobbers'
Paper-the majority of their Indebtedness
for last years purchases having been iqui-
dated and few new engagements entered
into. All parties are disposed 10 await the
events Of the future, and the market is in
active.
The Currency of the Confederate States is
still quoted at 80 per cent. discount, and the
Border State Currency generally at 10 per
cent with the exception Of North Carolina,
which sells at 10 per cent. Illinois Currency
is also held at 10 per cent,
