during the week, the result Of the stOppage oil
trade between this point and Louisville. It is still
quoted at 15@2O per cent premium. The largest
portion Of the Gold in the Confederate States IL
held by the Banks SO that the amount for sale b.
comparatively small
There is still some demand for Gold and Ken
| lucky Money to be used in the purchase OF live
stock in Southern Kentucky; and we hear of par
| ties who are using small amounts Of Sterling Ex-
change in the same way. The rate for Sterling
Exchange is Is per cent premium, but large
| amount could not be used IN Southern Kentucky
The State of Virginia is issuing Treasury NOtep,
which are taken by our Brokers the same as the
Bank Currency of that State, say per cent dis
count.
The demand for Flour is large and absorbs the
supply so that there is really no stock of any con-
sequence on hand. We quote Superfns at s5.25G

Sack Salt is held at $3.50 for Coarse and $3.50
for FiRe. Barrel is firm at sI5O per bushel These
prices nominal, for the reason that there are no
transactions. The impression is quite prevalent
that the price of Salt must come down very nate
rally within few weeks. We see it stated in cur
exchanges that Salt is being sold large quantities
at the Salt Works near Abingdon, Va at soc per
bushel. Salt could easily be brought from these
works to this place, if there is not already sufi
cheney here.
The stock of Leather is light with a heavy de-
mand, and for several descriptions our quotations
are nominal from the fact that dealers cannot Ill
