FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL


FRIDAY EVENING, July 8, 1853
This has been an unusually active day among the
banks. Tomorrow being holiday, the payments
Of three days were condensed into one, aud be-
sides bein: "quarter day." transactions were e.
pecially heavy. True, the traffic Of the West ia
much more largely conducted on cash basis than
ever before; bnt still the notes falling due to-day
we're numbered in large figures as well as heavy in
amount- Wewere told by the bankers that they
were all promptly paid, at least could hear Of no
protests. The fact is but an index Of the substan
tial basis on which the business OF the city and
the West Is now done.
Money is abundant, but the demand today WAS
rather better than 1t has been for week past.
Rates Of discount as heretofore, SOLO per cent.
Most Of the banks charge the upper figure.
Outside the banks money ia also plenty. On
large loans on productive city property, per cent
is the more usual rate, and VIC presume that for
1arge Investments 7 per cent. is sometimes gladly
accepted.
New York Exchange is still firm and rates un-
changed, viz: par0h buying, and h0A selling.
The demand has fallen of and holders are not 20
firm in charging the upper figure. Most Of tho
banks conceed fraction on round lots and few
supply customers as heretofore ut x.
For Gold only two rates have reached us from
Wall street, viz: 144a110144. The price here was
1J3, though one Of the brokers, perhaps few
others paid143N.
