tsrday. the price closing thi afternoon ct HZH-
At eallaghsr's Exchange this evening there Wss
40 unsettled feeling, and a decline was ,reeted, the
price closing at l4i. The demand TO pay Customs
continues active, and by the close Of the month the
Treasury Once viii hold more than twJ-ihirds the
stock Of Gold in this market. After tho LIST Of July
the disbursements for god interest on the Public
Debt will probAb y run ahead OF tho customs re-
oeIpts, but only for n week or two, as the July en-
tries of foreign goods for the fall season a-e ex-
pected to be on a liberal scale The exact sum due
at all points Is S9,75S, 9O7. The Commercial Adj
v~eEtiser says:
It is worthy OF note that 81 hough the recent OK
port OF specie has been very large, yet Tor the past
four month"; the export hA1 averaged only about
S2,aO,GtOp per month, or At the rate Of $780, 5000
per anhum, which IA very much below tho ordi
nary rae OF Newport. Tbs export for the past ave
months is about BiO,0OO,0 COZ itss than that OF ne
sane months OFIs6L. and SO, 1903, OO below the s,me
period Of lS63. TIE total exp0rts Of specie FROM
this port for the eleven Months ending May 81 was

The New York Tribune Of Saturday says. Gold
bearing Government Stocks %eontiuur strong, but
the amount of business is q coed deal reduced. The
tax on fsles when owRsd by tho dealer has checked
speculation in Them to the disadvantage Of the
Trsasury.
Money 10 New York c%Oniinu's sbundAnt at 4a5
per cent on call. Adyiees from the South remark
upon the great scarcity Of money in that section :
a.ditis argued by old Couthen merchants hat
no led Tiers 50 aattehng prospects as the south
to those who have made money. As the summer
draws to a close, 1t Is prob ,tIe that a large amount
OF the currency now seeking temporary employ
ment in New York viii be taken South for use.
The local money market was without notable
change to-day from ths ruling features Of The past
week. The demand for discounts was fair, but not
aoiive. In the aggregate currency is close, though
some ofthe Banks report a oomioriabls supply
Beeeipts from the interior are fair. E-stern TX
ohsDgs continues very close and firm at par buyi. e
and 4 premium selling.
In Cincinnati the supply Of capital IS largely in
excess of the demand, and currency balances are
rapidly increasing. There is very little stdcty
mercantile paper ofsriag. Rates Of interest rangG
fr m 7 to IL par cent, chiefly o 70 10.
In Chicago the demand for money IL light, and
the market is easy for currency at 10 per cent. al
the regular discou 1t houses.
1t is worthy Of note that Notwithstanding tht
abundant and growing supply Of currency at all
the commercial ~ecnters, there is scarcely the slight.

The market for ProvisiOnsis steady, but except
for Hams and Died Beef, which are in good steady
demand, trade ia this limo Is dull. Lsrd especially

Eggs, which are lower and dropping.
