EAAaMoAAA AMN-ANaa
The Financial business,of last week wns
even more quiet than duringthe week previ-
GUS, and the transactions in Money were in
the aggregate hardly as large as they were.
The applications for Loans were moderate,
and the checkings on Deposits light, wita
greater supply of Currency at the close of
the last than of the previous week. Con-
siderable prime Paper was done for special
customers at lO@l2 per cent. at the regular
houses, but in the street few negotiations
could be made better than "a per cent. per
annum.
Welook for no particular change in Finan-
cial matters this week, and suppose there
will be no improvement in the business of
Third street, as the Pork season has now
closed. Eastern Exchange will probably re-
main at n premium on the three leading
points, and 4 premium on Baltimore; the
buying rate continuing to be h@% on the
three first, and u discount a par on the last
named city.
Gold and New Orleans Exchange will
probably rule during the week at sS@A
premium, with moderate degree of activity.
Western Uncurrent Money will, we presume,
decline to discount during the week, but
we anticipate no marked alteration in any
of the other Banks on the-list.
For the remainder of this month, VIC opine,
business will be quite dull, both in Banking
and Mercantile circles, and the commercial
community expect to do little until the
Spring trade opens.
The Eastern mail OF Friday evening failed,
as usual, TO arrive yesterday morning. 1t
has not come once for week past, and prob
ably will not for the next fortnight.
The New York money market is easy and
dull. On call, Money is worth about 5per
cent, and very choice names go at Z.
Names less esteemed pass at all rates from
to "a per cent, those being the least popular
which are supposed to be connected with
| Southern trade. ..
Foreign Exchange is dull, and in the alb
sence of demand rates tend downward. Some
leading houses have no sixty. day.bills to sell,
but are offering their sight bills at 1881 and
52lN. Mercantile bills, based on produce,
go at lO6@K. ...
Money is little inquired for in Philadel-
| phia, yet it can not be obtained except on the
most approved security. Rates on call rule
at 6@7 per cent, and prime A No. paper can
be obtained at 9@l0 per cent.
AT Chicago, there is no alteration in East
ern Exchange, and the market is quiet at
| @5% per cent, premium. ...
