Nashville, December 20, 1865.
The receipts Of cotton yesterday amount
ed to about $50 bales, while the shipment
only reached IS. Sales Of some zoo bale
were mada, at prices ranging from 81 to 4oc
Ad7ieez from Europe and the East are NO
favorable, and prices are therefore net very
firm.
There is nothing new in the general mar
kets-the prices ranging as al yesterday:
! questions.
The Cincinnati Commercial Of Monday
says:
The Money market remains in q comfort
| able condition, and regular Mercauti Pa
| per Of an acceptable character Is not DIFF
| calt 10 negotiate. Il is regarded as worth
! lOdI2 per cent. A rigid adherence to the
charter rate, without passing the Loan
through a Bilof Exchange, Is the excsp-
! ton followed strictly, We believe, by but
two Of the Incorporated banks in the city.
Government Securities were q little down,
to-day, in New York, but our own market
remains nearly as il particularly go on
the seveu-thirties, which are IN steady in
vestmeut demand al the hands Of g people
Of small means. These Notes are bought
and sOld az yesterdays quotation. Five
tweuties Of the new issue were bought IN
some cases as high as lc premiums but now
&c premium would be an extreme figure.
The old issues are bought at 3a35<c premi
nm, to S1ze premium, and held at the New
York rate.
Ten-f5rties would command soc, but are
very scarce.
Certificates Of Indebtedness were bought
to-day by a banker at 973zc. Orders on
Washington are scarce; sI5sc- Is given as a
buying rate Tor them
The demand for Flour is still limited 10
the orders Of j0bbers for consumptive &C
count, and is not sufficiently active to give
the market more than very mes gre support
al the figures lately current. A cangas
O.. the STICK stored here has lately been
made, resulting in the figuring up OF about
u ,OO8 barrels.
Wheat is in rather less request than it
was yesterday, and prices scarcely 50 firm.
Prime old Red is generally held at -; but
buyers generally make 81 % an outside
offer, ana most of the millers dc Mt 20
above 81 30. The stock offering IS limited
in amount. New Red, Of the best quality
is rated at 81 60, as a trading figure, but II
is generally held higher.
Ear Corn is in light offering; SOC is gen
orally asked, but 53c is about the most It
will bring. Shelled is held at 5Sc.
Oats are firm at the advance noted yes
terday. Sale was msde in elevator at 4Sc,
though this is the outside Of the market.
Rye is held at 75c for choice samples, but
such are very scarce, and 72@T3c is the
prevailing range for the samples that are
being handled.
Barely is still inactive, and scarcely
quotable.
Whisky was quite dull; 81 25 is regarded
a. the market, but SAFE was made at - p.
Provisions have a listless, Indifferent
market Mess Pork is TO be had at ST, but
{ here is little or no demand.
Lard is quoted at I71zc; in tierces, 1870,
with small sales, but an easy market al
latter rates.
Bulk Meats are kept at yesterdays quota
tons, but are nearly neglected. Clear Rib
Sides were sold at l5c, packed, and l61zc is
an outside figure for clear.
Green Hams are quoted at 14j%@I45Zc for |
heavy and medium weights; i434c for such |
rs are particularly desirable, though the lat |
Ter is an extreme figure,
Green Shoulders and Sides have a nomi- /
nal quotation at S1z@ll1zc, respectively.
There is no change IN the prices current /
Tor Hogs, $40 O0GlO 50 being the range for /
good TO heavy averages, net IS OO(GS so /
gross, and this in the face OF only moderate
receipts.
