which has been rather freely met. The street

banks all offered by customers taken at the
regular rste-6 per cent. The gold market has
been depressed somewhat, but at the close was
again IN the ascending scale, though the Govern

some cases 70 3 per cent. below the current
rates of gold. Not much done in Government
securities. Orders on Washington closed at 991z;
5-20's. f1OqilO1z. with not demand enough to
establish these rates. Meetings. vouchers sell
at SO, and but few offered. Vouchers issued By
other Quartcrmasiers sell at 9S down to 95, the
latter for those issued outside of the city
The supply of exchange has been hardly equal
to the demand. aud the market rules firm at our
quotations, and bankers not disposal to draw at
these rates excepting for regular customers.
The buying and selling rates very close TO
each other. atfording but narrow margin for
profits.
