Increase, l35 per cent.
At Chicago there is a dull and sluggish feeling at
present pervadng almost every branch OF trade and
commerce. Capitalists, az well as merchants an d
traders, arc unwilling to make investments In
produce or merchandise Of any kind, and business
drags slowly. The demand for money was fair, but
the bankers generally refuse to discount produce or
pork paper unless to their best customers. Tho
rate of discount is steady at 10 per cent per annum
but the street brokers are charging 2a3p per cent
per month. Eastern Exchange continues very
scarce, and rates arc firm at par buying and pre-.
MUM selling. The demand is very active by bank
ers and merchants in the interior.
AT Cincinnati the course Of matters in the money
market does not change. Neither from sales OF
produce, from the receipts Of currency from the in
terror nor from the payment by Government OF its
dues does there come, or seem likely to come i'm
media.ely any relief. Borrowers, who would like
to offer new paper, or embark IN new enterprises,
are Offering nothing, because they know 'twould be
of no use Except for the distress that some of
lGoyernme Mt contractors are suffering by forced
depreciation of the vouchers they hold there would
probably be no occasion TO lament condition Of
things that is such an efectual bar to speculation
as is this tghtness Of the money market. Indeed
it mi ght be considered very good thing. Rates Of
interest have the old range, l0al2 for the choicest
bits of paper, Is a 10 for such 90 may be unexceI-
tionablo in character when 70 Ind on the street.
Tho opening carpet sale of Messrs. Hadden d

The catalogue was unusually heavy, the lines OF
mattings, drugs, stair linon and drills being in ex
cess of ordinary sales. Though the attendance was
so large there appeared to be considerable reluc'
lance in buying, the prices going low at least 10 10

Oil on tho Clarion River IN Pennsylvania is a
,.rstIatvd fsct. a short time since TWO wells
struck oil at Deer Creek in such quantities that
they flowed, ind are now flowing, oil and water

wells are down some four hundred feet, and are in

have been found. Extensive preparations ere going
forward for the complete development of this region
No less than ten engines GRO under order for In.

sought for BY practical oil operators and capitalists
