The gene. al tore Of financial and commercial sf-
fairs in New York to-day with the exception of
railway stocks, has shown fair degree Of stesdi-
ness, and The MAJ kst has been Characterised By

Money matters in this city to-day ruled without
notable change from yesterday. Tbs supply Of
currency is fully squalled BY the demand, and if
Bankers were disposed to extend their faVors he.
yOnd legitimate borrowers, there is every proba-
bility that the demand would be considerably aug
mented. Considering the very light bu mess doing
in commercial circles here, and the entire absence
OF speculative movement, the source Of this demand
is somewhat difficult to understaud. It Is probable
however, that it eOmss chiefly from inis.ior hold
ers OF merchandise who are hanging on 10 theil
property with the hstteriDg unotion still pos
SCI sing them that large pTodts are yet in ttors.-
OF this class Bankers cannot be too cautious. Ex
change Is close snd in good request. Rates nomi
