active than last week, as respects demand,
loans show more tirmness in rates. Western
banks are beginning to draw down their
balances to moderate extent, and there is
/ some movement of currency southwark.
| The accumulation of paper which has nat
urally occurred during the rise in the rates
Il
| sure for discount, aud the banks find they
can employ their means in discounting
prime paper at Coz per cent. This upwarl
tendency in money has produced a sympl-
thizing effect on the stock market, which
the bears are attempting to augment by
throwing stocks upon the market. The
market at this mornings board, under this
sort of pressure rose to the extent of 150M
per cent, and more disposition was shown
| to put out short contracts. Governments
are quiet and rather weak, 5.20's of all Sc
rles being about "a lower.

ply of cotton bills and an unexpectedly
| light demand from importers.

there is no reduction in prices, agents are
INSTRUCTED to take lower figures for whole
Hines of goods. Prints are very quiet
stocks are not very large, but steadily ae-
cumulating, and mills are running light
production, with some talk Of further re-
ducing prices. Stripes and ticks have met
light demand, and for single case there
is no reduction, but for whole lines of goods
lower prices would be accepted. Linens
and fannels are in light request, but other
wise wooden goods are very dull.
