The Cincinnati Gazette Of Wednesday reports
The money market is easy for good paper at Ga
10 I'D cent, but names that do not come IN to thi.
standard do not pass freely. The prevalence Of
the cholera in all the principal cities has the efec
TO disturb, somewhat, the general order of bust
ness, and financial transactions are conducted
with more than usual caution. So far however
as regsrds the supply of money, it may be said tc
be abundant while the offerings for discount dc
not indicate as healthy condition Of trade as is
desirable that is to say. money is wanted more
Tor old than new business
sharp reaction however, is expected to set il
with the fall season. In some quarters exchange
was scarce and firmer to-day, but as O rule tht
market was fully supplied at para150c. premium
buying lilo premium selling. Gold was firm al
TAT buying and Las selling.
The Boston Commercial, of Monday evening
says:
The supply Of loanable funds continues in excess
Of the demand, being readily Acceptable on call
at five per cent. when the collateral is undoubted
The banks are supplying the wants of the bust.
Gloss paper 10 offered, leaving quite scarcity in
the outside market.
GOUNTERrEIT $50 CoMPouND INTEREST NoTEs.--
4 New York exchange says:
The officers of the secret service division Of
the treasury department have been for several
months watching for some clue which might lead
to the detection Of the persons engaged in the
manufacture of counterfeit fifty dollar compound
interest notes. The detectives have at length
sncceeded In securing nearly sixty thousand dol
Vars In the counterfeit currency and also the
plates from which the notes were printed The
plates appear to have been engraved by an expe-
rIenced workman, and with but few exceptions
they are fac.similes Of the genuine. The enqrav-
fnga Of the figures on the faces Of the notes are
not so distinct as those of the genuine issue and
the limitations Of the lathe-work, though admira-
bly, executed will not bear close scrutiny.
The signatures of the register and treasurer are
nearly perfect, and the seal of the treasury
printed in red ink Is said To be the best ever seen
upon counterfeit note. The notes, notwthstand
ing their defects, are we'll calculated to deceive
and are regarded as among the best executed
eounterieits ever issued.
The state of trade in Canada Is referred TO b,
the Montreal Gazette as follows:
Ihe demand for money at present Is yer
much IN excess of that usual at this period of til
year, and we turn to the figures exhibiting III
value OF the goods received at this mort for th
seven months ending July 3lst, as compared wit
the previous year, no other result could be locke
fer coupled with the fact that the goods in bon,
affected by the change in the tariff very little ",
left unentered, as the duties collected during Jul
will show,
