MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL
Financial Affairs.

In Third-street yesterday there were few
transactions of consequence, and Money con-
tinued easy enough for all business purposes,
though the supply of Currency was rather
less than at the close of last week. The
offerings of good Paper at the Discount
houses were quite light, and most of that of
undoubted character was done for customers
at lO@l2 per cent; while the street rates
were, as before, 1s@24 per cent. per annum.
The supply of Eastern Exchange was better
yesterday, and the market easier, though
still very firm at q buying on the three lead
ing points, and Il premium selling. On
Baltimore the price was M@X discount,
and par, and dealers were drawing freely on
all points at the figures given.
For Gold there was little more than a
retail demand at 5S@A, and New Orleans
Exchange was quiet at 1@A prem; hardly
any Bankers being willing to give over par.
Western Currency was more regular yes
terday, and as Eastern Exchange is selling
in Chicago and st. Louis at prem, Missouri,
Illinois and Wisconsin notes ruled here alike
at I, dis. r. a-'i g.
Flour was dull yesterday, with a limited
demand; super6ne being nominal at "a 60
to "a 20. Whisky was steady and un-
changed. Groceries were unchanged and
quiet. Wheat, Corn, Rye and Barley were
dull, but Oats advanced. Provisions were
dull with few buyers, and the offerings light.
No transactions occurred in Mess Pork.
