compound interest-bearing notes are rated
at lOl4@lOSI buying and 1920 1914 selling,
for the various issues.
In New York money! is reported easy, with
transactions at 6 per cent. on governments
The Tribune says, however, that "the ten
deney of the market is not to greater ease at
the present moment" the unsettled state OF
our foreign relations, and the uncertainty
as to Congressional action, inducing caution
on the part of capitalists. The Herald, on
the other hand, regards the prospect of the
payment of the maturing one and two year
five per cent. notes-between fifty and sixty
millions in all, and falling due on the first
days of December, March, April and May,
las assuring an easy money market. This
latter view is probably held by the railway
stock spectators, as indicated by the grow
ing movement in this class of securities.
Money is still reported very close at Chi
cago, the stringency being increased by
calls from the Government upon the Ma
tional banks. Currency is shipped to meet
the demand for exchange.
In Cincinnati the banks are meeting the
demands of customers, butare working eau
tiously. Exchange is close and in active
demand, selling at Ito premium.
A Columbus dispatch of the 22dinst. to
the Cincinnati Gazette says:
The Board of Comptrol, composed of some
of the oldest and best hnRnciers in Ohio, con-
cluded a regular two days session this after
noon. They are fast closing up the affairs
of the State Banks which have been chang
into National Banks. The very gratifying
fact was announced that during the past six
months the currency of the State Banks has
been reduced a millien and a half of dollars.
The circulation is being taken up rapidly to
facilitate this. President Andrews was au-
thOrized to advertise that these State notes
would be received at any of the banks and
other currency given in exchange without
discount.
In relation 70 the redemption of the five
per cent. loan of the State, now about due,
the same correspondent states authoritative
ly that the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund expect to pay it during the year 1866.
They viii not seek to effect another loan,
but will endeRvor to secure such action by
by the Legislature as will most speedily in
crease the sinking fund, by the transfer of
money from the Soldiers Relief and other
funds, and in this way reduce the debt.
A meeting of the Assessors of Internal
Revenue of the several districts of Ohio, is
now in session in Columbus, the object being
an interchange of views in regard to the
construction of different parts of the reve-
nue. law, which shall tend to uniformity in
the matter of assessments.
Our general markets continue extremely
dull, there being hardly sufficient doing in
any department to establish prices. Flour
is very quiet at our quotations. Wheat is
heavy, there being scarcely any inquiry,
and prices annot be safely given il the alb
sence of sales. Corn is nominal at roc
Oats are dull and nominal at 42e for State.
There is very little doing in Provisions, but
as packers are not adding materially to their
stocks, prices are maintained, though only
with a moderate degree of firmness. Pro-
duce is steady, but quiet. Highwines fur
Their declined lc to-day, ruling dull. There
is a stronger feeling and improving inquiry
for Petroleum, and refiners to-day advanced
their views 1e.
The receipts and shipments at this point
Of Produce and Merchandise, during the
twenty-four hours ending at Z o'clock this
morning, were as follows:
