The movement in financial circles during
the past week has been marked by steadily
decreasing operations in every department

this season, the payments at bank continue light,
while owing TO the rapid falling of in the general
trade Of the city, the demands for accommodation
disclose an unusually heavy abatement Rates Of
interest and discount are still nominay unchanged
however, and We therefore repeat as the ruling
rates y cent. q annum at bank, and l9lA D

paper, and l04l2 u cent. a annum for long
gage.
GOLD AND sILvER-Transaction in Gold since
the date OF our last review have been almost ex-
olusively restricted to small amounts for the paw
ment OF duties. The inquiry for shipment 10 the
interior has wholly ceased, and the demand on the
part OF SPECTATORS cannot be regarded as much
better than nominal. offerings of Silver are still
too tIiting to attract special notice. and the few
lots thrown upon the market from time 10 time
are usually absorbed at 324 points below Gold

DOMESTIC ExCHAEGE-U niformty has been the
most prominent Characteristic of the movement In

UECURREET NOTEs AND SECURITIES

tarded the upward tendency of prices, however.
and the demand has again fallen off Considerable
as VIII be seen by the statement of actual sales
furnished below. Operations in louisiana state

wholly suspended and there is scarcely anv move.
