MoxErARY--Gold was lower in New York
yesterday, having opened at 1871; was 1917 al II;
and 1874 at 1880. which is the latest quotation re-
ceiyed.

| Bank Of Tennessee is decidedly weak. Some
brokers are paying 30. while others are offering
| only IS cents.
| Planters Bank continues dull at 60 buying. and
60 selling.
Union Bank is dull at 1902.
Southern money is generally dull and unsafe
able Only a few of the banks sell readily.
Of the New York money market, the CONNER
ciai. of last Saturday says:
The market is decidedly more buoyant under
the improved condition Of affairs in London.
Money is easier applications for loans being less
urgent and the banks in a somewhat better con-
dition for lending during the week, have received
a preference discount. 1t is not improbable,
however that next week the banks will conceive
il to be their best policy to discount paper ut cur
rent rates in preference to sending on demand,
by that they would insure 612al Tcent. for
a period of two to four months. The result to
borrowers on stocks would be to keep the rates
on call firm but only temporarily a. il is the pol
icy of the Treasury to disburse as freely as cir
cumstanCes will permit. During the week. 80, 70.
9f2 of the Temporary loans have been withdrawn
from the Sub-Treasury for payment. About
81 100000 compound notes have been redeemed
during the week at the Sub-Treasury. A cOnsid-
cradle amount Of one year certificates OF indebt-
edness have been presented by the banks in liqui-
dation Of checks drawn on account Of gold by the
Treasury.
CoffoY,-The market on yesterday was very
dull and prices dropping, owing to unfavOrable
advices from New York. The few balos that were
sold went at &c for good article The market Is
unsettled and both holders and buyers are dis
posed to await further Developments. New Or
leans dispatches of Saturday state that ''notwith-
standing reports from Europe, cotton remains
very firm"
GRoCERIEs--Thc grocery market was extremely
duh yesterday, owing to various causes apparent
TO every careful observer. The supply of feur on
the market il limited, and the demand is firm
with an upward tendency in prices. The stock Of
bacen is very large, demand limited, and transac-
tons light. Coffee and sugar. sympathizing with
gold, have advanced slightly. There is an ample
stock Of mGIassss ana syrups an hand with but
little doing Salts plentiful and sales imprnVipg,
White corn is in active demand aBdnone on hand,
while yellow is plentiful with little request Meal
is in fine demand, and but scanty supply on
hand Potatoes are abundant, and are disposed of
at great sacrifices Fish is in liberal request, and
slight supply on the market For prices in detail
we reproduce our former quotations:
