feit Notes and Securities The move
naentin uncurrent notes has been partially
suspended SINGS our last, and sales Of securi-
lies have been much smaller than the daily
average for sometime previous both at the
Brokers Board and upon the street Prices
have been well maintained throughout how
ever, and the tendency Of the market is still
upward for all fyorite classes Of stocks and
bonds
otioa The market was very firm yester-
day and previous outside figures were uni
formly demanded for grades above good orli-
nary The demand was limited however, and
sales were restricted to HOO bales, taken by
nine brokers, at the quotations in our com
nereial article in another column. There
were also several lists withdrawn from sale for
the purpose Of direct shipment to Europe on
aecount Of planters, which make the total Of
the movement Of the latter for the week sum

movement transporting under this heading.
The supply of domestic Is nearly exhausted
and offerings Of foreign, though ample, are
exceedingly neglected.
Tobacco There is considerable INQUIRY for
Tobacco On the part Of agents Of tie French
government a. well as local buyers, but gener-
ally at prices which are SO far below tie views
4of holders as to preclude heavy sales.
Western Produce Flour has declined Csc
~ Dbl during the past week owing to an in
crease in receipts and to adyices of mor
peaceful character from Europe Corn hai

hushel, which is ascribed to light supply and
diminished receipts. Oats were frm at I
slight advance in the beginning Of the week,
but with offerings in excess Of the demand,
rates fell off, and the improvement was losi
towards the close. Bran and Hay have been
inactive and irregular without any material al,
teration in rates since the close Of the previous
