The Boston Post of Friday says
There was slight increase IN the demand for money
to-day and though the rates of discount remain nearly
strictly rme to GOOD short date Commercial paper-with
exceptions, adding commissions &c at about n per cent
per annum-the banks were generally disposed TO ask
per cent on call loans although few institutions still
willing employ their idle funds for the present call
at per cent in preference TO dscOunting paper having
more than 90 days to run The drain OF currency
Westward continues, caused by the marketing of the ill.,
coming crops.
The Cincinnati Commercial of Friday says:

affairs; currency Is moving actively, and capital which
has been locked up In Government securities, IS now

The money market presents features. There is
active demand for money TO move the wheat ana oa
crops and il not for the daily remancCs received
from NewYoTk, the market would be exceedingly srin

The applications consist largely in the shape of renewals
though occasional rsClass piece OF paper makes It's
appearance. The mercantile trade of the city shows
little Improvement though the prospects are very en-
cOuraging. New-York funds were again weak, though
the offerings not large owing to the arrival OF
large lenittances of currency. We hear OF few trans
inside figure The counter demand il light, and the rates
irregular at 3a5 discount ibuyg and Soc discount ana
par selling.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Adrertiser, August 90, says
Many intelligent planters and merchants estimate the
present years cotton crops Of Alabama at half million
100000 bales win be produced We have no doubt that
il would be perfectly safe TO that the yield VIII
reach from four hundred thousand to half million.
