MONETARY AND cOMMERGIaL.
oFFIsR OF rHE UNION AyD AsERloas. !

FRIDAY July D 1000.
MoSETARY.-GOld opened in New York yester-
day at l525si declined to 1924 at noon; was 1875
at l2-S0. and closed at 1854 at 4P.N.
The rate here was l52 buying and i54 selling.
Government Securities are as follows: 5-2Os
1895; 1O-4Os 97J5e9 ~; 7-3Os 1880 lOGl%.
There was rather more doing in uncurrcnt
money yesterday than usual Bank Of Tennessee
is in brisk demand at 50 cents; Planters Bank Is
weak and dUIl at go, while Union Bank Is firm at
70972
Southern money generally Is dull and ia 10 de-
mand whatever.
COTToN.-The market continues extremely dull.
A few bales changed hands IN the morning at &c.
for a good article. Private advioes from New
York yesterday, quoted the market steady at 36c.
for middling uplands.
Of the present supply and probable eject Of
actual war on the continent. Messrs, Warts Co.
of Liverpool. in their last Cotton report, say:
It will be seen that the stock here and at sea
would about supply the demand for the remain
ing twenty eight weeks Of the present year. That
actual war on the COntinentwill lessen the export
demand there seems 10 be nc doubt, but 20 what
extent stimulate the trade demand in this cOun-
try, but the difficulty in the way Is in obtaining
operatives. But in referring particularly to
American cotton it will be the stock here and
at sea counts up 530,IOJ bales, whilst the con-
sumptive demand this year has averaged 2, lS5
bales, and about the same for the past six weeks.
Should this average be maintained the apparent
suppl, would last for about twenty-five weeks.
Upon the subject Of future shipments to this cOun-
try, we have nothing to add to remarks contained
in cur reports of lst and Sth instant except that
latest kilograms from Bombay report heavier
shipments than were anticipated.

ness portion excepting the heavy business
houses on Commercial street. All the banks
