FINANCIAL AND C0liMERCldL L
THE MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY, ErESEa, March is, 1853.
To-day the weather has been remarkably dne
and business Of ali kinds is active. Our rcssel
owners a1e - brushing mp and preparing for the
opening Of navigation, which, owing to the open
winter, cannot be delayed beyond week or two.
Its effect upon the money market has for come
time past been scnssbly felt in the heavy dcmand
made upon bankers by produce operators Active
shipments are now specially desirable to relieve
the exchange market, which is becoming uncoua-
fortab1y close. Eastern currency is tho main re-
source Of bankers, and must be till shipments
commence. The large amount still in circulation
affords an abundant supply.
Bankers, IS get, maintain the rates for exchange
precisely az heretofore viz. they pay X and some
timca fraction aborc, and sell strictly to cus-
toners at 4. Outsiders are glad to get supply
At '.N5k. This is the market with the exception
of single house, which still supplies customers
atA.
Gold opened in New York as reported bF private
dispatches ut 1884, sunk X at the close Of the first
board, and rallied to the morning hgure at the
cloRc Of the second. The brokers here paid 1910
153-abont 1ba being the more usual figure. Opin-
ioEs differ widely as to the rourse Of prices for the
next week.
Old Treasury Notes arc nearly out Of the mar-
kct. They bear the came price as gold, New, =
buying; selling, u premium.
The rangc for silver was 135l140.
In speaking Of Indiana currency, we ought to
have said, al the tinse that meant the bills Of
the State Bank There are a few free banks in
that State whose bills bear no premium. Those
Of tho State Bank are worth to-day 10s prem;
Kentucky, los; Iowa, n; Ohio State Bank, HQl1.
