The New York Herald this morning says:-
"The foreign exchange market continues strong
| and there are very few bills Offering Some of the
| bankers advanced their drawing rates for bills al
sixty days on England to 1881 to-day, and those a
three days TO 10940109s but among the brokers the
| rates were sa4 lower. Good commercial bills or
| Eng and were quoted at 106301074.
"lhe imports at this port continue to exceed the
exports value at the rate of about three millions
| week in currency, and the shipment of securities
| has ceased, except perhaps in small amounts. Tht
| total value of the gold imports since the 1st o.
JsDuary at this port is 1921 1884 297, while the ex
| ports aggregate in paper money value only
| $l43, 2l7. Bills drawn against cotton havt
almost disappeared from the market, owing to thu
ipht shipments, influenced by the limited stock OF
| hand and the prospect of the next crop yielding
| only about a million of bales"
The New York Tribune this morning says:-
Money on call can be had in large amounts at pei
cent, and loans are often made at 3 per cent Com
me renal bills are without change, best selling at
Ler cent, good at 4G6, with fair supply of long
dared ordinary names at per cent. and over. Thert
ls no disposition TO buy long paper. or to make en-
gage ments extending far into The future. Four pei
| cent per annum for capital indicates an unnatura
| col diIion OF the money market surely as toul
| cent per month, and should teach people great eau
| ton"
