/ STOCKS AND BoNDs-There is a fair movement
noticeable in the better qualities of securities but
prices begin to exhibit an unfavorable reaction in
some descriptions. The market is still fairly sup
piled, while the demand shows some abatement
for even the most popular securities and all other
descriptions continue wholly neglected. The

7 UECURRENT BANK NoTEs-There is but very
: little movement noticeable in the issues of the
several banks in liquidation. Offerings exhibit
very general withdrawal Of supplies, and the de
mand has materially abated since the recent heavy
advance in rates. Sales to-day have been re
stricted to $1,000 Louisiana State Bank at 835c.
E and $500 do. at 84c., which discloses decline

discount. 1t would be useless to attempt to Civ
correct quotations of Uncurrent Bank Notes, AM
/ we, therefore, omit them.
