There is no change to notice in the Money
Market and very little demand for capital out
side the banks. Loans on call are freely offered
at per cent to frstolass borrowers. Prime
mercantile paper is scarce and quoted at 7@s

The receipts OF the Government from inter-
nal revenue during the past week reached nearly
ten million dollars, making the total income of
the National Treasury from this source since
July !, 1865, the commencement of the current
fiscal year, something over $lS5, 900, or a
weekly average of nearly seven million dollars,
equal 10 a yearly aggregate OF S354, 100000. The
Washington Chronicle, noticing the heavy re-
ceipts last week, says:-"The receipts from
internal revenue during the past week have
amounted to the enormous sum of nearly
Sl0,000,000. This increase over the exhibit of
the previous week-$4, ,679, 796'63-is owing to
the energy with which the officers of the bureau
have prosecuted their duties in discovering ar
tices which have hitherto escaped taxation
One of the greatest successes of the revenue is
cotton. The tax paid on this commodity at
Macon, Ca, during the last three months
amounted to $3.50, ,0O0-representing a sale and
shipment Of $4,000 bales, valued at $l3, 900, 900 in
New York. IT is expected that, for the months
OF January, February, and March, the revenue
from the same source at the same place will
reach more than S5,000,000."
