MONETARY.

Tuesday FvESTEG, April 1, 1852.

The extreme dnHI eaa in monetary circles which
has characterized the two past weeks continues,
and we can sec no prospect Of change for the bet
ter until navigation opens, consummation which
all business men devoutly wish. Money is plenty,
but customers few, that ta, Of the right kind.
There is no ehadow of change in the exchange
market, and the past weeks quotations are good
Tor to-day: Par OK buying, 40H se1lng-the
larger figure for outsiders.

tations. We quote 1@1H buying; 14@2 selling.

600 arc now ready for issue.

the spirit Of speculation, and operators are appar

aboYe the present wants Of general business. and
when the influence upon our finances ices Of The The

we cannot expect the present state Of things to
need something to start us, but that may come Al
any moment IN the bugle-note Of victory from the
army army Of the Potomac, and until then wc can but
hope for scme change in the present dull and uniu-
/ teIcsting state Of affairs s:-In4atirer.
