Yesterdays Louisville Courier says of
Mondays Provision Market: .u
The Provision Market is unsettled, and the
decline spoken of Saturday was fully estab-
,lished to day. There are but few buyers in
the market, and they are not disposed to
purchase, while holders are not disposed to
sell to any extent The sales to-day were
only llS barrels eity-packed at SIT. Bacon
is in good demand, and for it the market
closed firm, at TIC. for Shoulders, 9Mc. for
rib Sides, l01zc. for clear rib, and l0Mc. tor
clear Sides. Bulk Meats and Lard are un-
changed.
We annex a comparative statement of the
Imports of Foreign Dry Goods and General
Merchandise at New York for the past week
and since January .s"
1859. 1860, 1861.

New York Stock Market:
Stocks were generally rather lower at the
First Board to day, but the decline was by
no means equal to anticipations in the street;
and, notwithstanding the excitement and
intense anxiety everywhere displayed in
regard to matters in Charleston, there was
nothing like panic in the operations. One
of the most remarkable features of the day
was the firmness in Federal Stocks, which
were taken freely at about the prices of
Thursday and Friday, and were strongly
held during the day. Virginia and Missouri
State Stocks went down about 2 per cent,
The most important share transactions
were in New York Central, which opened at
73, against 74X at the close of Friday, and
sold down to 72M. The decline in other
Stocks was about in the same ratio, but the
lowest points touched were not under the
quotations of Thursday before the actual
commencement of hostilities, and there was
a tone of steadiness throughout, quite in con-
tIast with the feyersh feeling outside ia re-
gard to the political troubles of the country.
II is quite probable that the market owes
much Of its present hrmness to the fact that
the effect Of actual hOstilities had been dis.
counted by Stock speculators, who having
oveFsold on the expectation of disturbing
events, were ready to buy in for delivery at
the decline. At all events the Stock Market
has appeared to be less agitated by the excit-
ing news OF yesterday and to-day, than upon
some comparatively triling occurrences. At
the Second Board the market was dull, aud
somewhat irregular, but the changes from
this morning were not important. An at
tempt to depress United States Skies of 1881
was made by offering them down on sellers
option contracts, but the cash price was well
sustained at the close. The patriotism of
the Board displayed itself in a decided hiss
when the efforts 10 Bear the Federal Stock
were made. After the Board there was not
much business doing but generally the quo
tations were a fraction lower.
The same issue of the TTiJtae observes:
The Exchanges at the Bank Clearing
house were $l8,620, ,562 s8. The Exchanges
of the week ending this morning were $l34,-
284, ,307 85; being daily average Of $22, ,340,-
III 9S, against $40, SAG, 27S 50 for the week
ending on Saturday. There was quite a
furry in the street TO day in Southern Bank
notes. All the notes of the Banks Of the
Confederate States have been put at % per
cent. discount and many of the brokers de-
cline to deal In them. Virginia Notes are
not quite so much depressed, selling at SOLO
per cent, Tennessee at 507 per cent, and
Missouri at SOLO per cent. This loss Of con-
hdence In Southern Money Is quite natural
under the circumstances, when the Banks Of
that section are likely 10 be drained Of all
their Specie BY the forced loans Of the Con-
fedefate Government.
In Charleston four Of the Banks have ID
and less than 10 per cent. Of Specie 10 imme-
diate liabilities In this condition Of thin0a
