Inc Nlne4nn&l COMMERCIAL says.
The special dispatches from Washington
n our LIST, indicate thst the proposition x
increase the limit ofthe Estionsl Bank cap
ital 70 9 o,Ooe,0 00, Is not acceptable witt
either the House Committee on Banking, o.
with the Sec stary Of the Treasury. How
provision 10 be made TO supply the South
cru States with their proportion, without an
increase Of the capital, IS not clear, for the
J suggestion that banks now in existence
Ishould be allowed TO change their place Of
business, or locality, as a remedy, viii not,
We believe. prove 70 be q practical one in its
applications.
An improved demand for geven-thirties
was experienced to-day, resulting 10 liberal
sales Al es%@s5%c, and ssc for the several
issues. Bankers were willing purchasers az
ss1s, ss5s, and ssze, but had light re-
ceipts.
The late issues Of Fige-twenty Bonds are
moving rather actively at lLc prem. buy
iug,. l5sG2c prem. selling. The old issues
selling.
Tsh-fortie. are dun s2@Hssze buying,
$3.50 selling.
Compound Interest Notes are scarce.
though down a little in rate under
latest New York quotations. The rates
here on the I'D were ~, 6Z, &, 5, !, and &c
prem. Tor the various issues. The buying
rate here would be placed 4 to &c below
these figures.
The New York Stock market was off on
much Of the list during the morning, but
later reports 10 the Stock Board show that
Il was on the course toward 3 recovery
again.
There is a little greater activity in mer-
camille business, partly, doubtless, because
of Hha Hwuna~mrksnsNw
OF doors yesterday. The sales of Groceries,
both in a jobbing and large way, were
larger, but no change in prices. Flour has
less Lie than ii had yesterday, though no
changes are made in quotations.
Wheat Is steady, with only & limited bu-
siness at the old figures.
Corn was quiet at SIC for shsllsd, sc for
ear.
Oats are steady at s7H@Ssc for No. >, ssc
for No. I.
Rye remains as last quoted.
There is as near nothing doing in Barley
as ever.
Whisky out of bond is very dull. A quo
tation at 81 % is occasionally made, but
that figure cannot be realized when efforts
TO sell are made. In bond il commands
2Sg2sEc for high and low proof, but is not
active.
Cotton is dull, and without a market above
As cents.
The Provision market was somewhat ir-
regular in its tone, though at a little under
current asking figures there is 8 fair de
mard to fiji small orders. Mess Pork sold
at $2s IS, SIS SO and s2s IS, the larger sale
al the frst-nsmed figure. SIS so is the
trading price, at which there is somewhat of
q stand of by both buyers and sellers. The
concessions prePonderate in favor Of buyers.
Lard has good inquiry at IKE, and a lit
tie wss said to have sold ct that, but there
were also sales at IKE, and thst figure is
made the minimum with most Ofthe sellers.
Bulk Meats sold in q small way. The
quotations are l2c for Shoulders, i4<c for
sides, and 1871 10 1870 for clear Sides, all
including packages. The transactions were
mainly IN Sides.
Bacon clear Sides continue Ia request at
l9Hc with but few ready for delivery. Ba-
con Shoulders are quoted at I5e, and sales |
81 that were made.
Green Hams, well handled, are quoted at
Is tol6Gc, this range having covered trans
actions. There were sales at lower figures, |
but they are regarded as below the msrket.
Green Shoulders of desirable condition are |
dull at 9Lc; green Sides at 12LGI2%e.
Hogs are dull snd lower. An effort was
made to sustain Sll so for heavy, but it |
only succeeded in some Of the Transactions
made in the morning. They dropped after
ward TO 81 40, and would not, at the close |
Of Change, have brought more than Sll IS.
