New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The great western
mails from this city to Chicago will hereat-
ter leave thirty minutes later than former
ly, and reach that city the same hour in the
day that they did previously. The western
mail, which includes the mails for the
cities of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, st. Louis,
Louisville, Indianapolis, st. Paul, st. JO-
seph, Salt Lake City and the overland mail
for California, was formerly dispatched at
five o'clock in the morning and ut half past
four o'clock in the afternoon. 1t is now
sent by the Allentown route, at seven
o'clock in the morning and half past six
o'clock in the afternoon.
& Latest Financial. .-..r- M
New YORK, Nov. 2O.-There was a more
active demand for money to-day, owing to
the increased volume of Spectators at the
stock exchange, and the banks and money
lenders were enabled to obtain a slight adj
vance in the rate of interest. The Govern
ment bankers were supplied at 5 per cent.
on call, but the stock has generally had to
pay per cent, although at this rate there
was partial supply. We did hear Of some
| few transactions at per cent, but they
were exceptions. Discounts are quiet, and
z per cent. may be called the minimum
rate for prime names, although there re
occasional transactions at 61a per cent.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
has declared its regular quarterly dividend
Of per cent. cash, payable December lst,
and stock dividend of 231155, payable jan
uary I'd. This large dividend was gener-
ally expected by the public, and has been
anticipated to some extent. The business
Of the Company between here and San
Francisco is perfectly enormous, and
freight is left behind on each trip, while
the passenger list is always full. The China
line will be opened in January, which must
prove source of great wealth to the Com
pany.
The Government securities were firm
this afternoon, and especially in the five
twenty bonds, and moderately active.
The gold market closed up steadily a.
1414@l4lH. The foreign Exchange mar
ket Is rather more steady, with a moderate
business on basis at 100 for prime banking
go days bills, and 1O9M@ll0 for shOr
sight.
AT the last open board the stock marke
was generally steady, although not quit'
up to the highest point of the day in al
respects. New York Central sold to ITO a
the second regular board. This stock ha
been quite active this afternoon, and TIN
dealings in it have been the chief teatur
of the market. There is a more confiden
feeling that the lowest point has beel
touched for the present, and there is everl
prospect of increased activity in several o
the cliques before long.
The Dry Goods Market.
New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The dry good
market is without particular feature o
change or interest this morning. The qui
etness in trade still continues, while job
bers are making all possible effort to attraC
attention and discover at what prices buy
ers will enter the market for goods.
