Money matters were quiet to-day. Cot
ton bills have been offered to a limited
extent-one discosnt house taking about
$4,000 during the day; but the aggre-
gate of exchange making is very small
and insufficient to meet the demand,
which is also comparatively light. Rates
are unchanged.
Gold opened insNew York at 1885 and
closed at 1881. We have heard OF no sale
Of consequence during the day, or In fact
for several days. Brokers having orders
to fill are offering New York rates, but
others try to buy at from to 1e under.
Selling at 139 to 140c.
In City Scrip the feeling Is strong with
buyers numerous at Csc, and no sellers.
Brokers would let go at 66 to &c for linn
tied amounts.
County Warrants are firm with light
offerings. Buying nominally at IS t. 5Sc;
selling at 80 to Csc.
Police Scrip is in fair request in small
pieces by tax payers. Brokers buy at SO
to sac, and sell al So to S8c.
The Liverpool Cotton market was firm
at the opening to-day; Uplands, 124 to
12sd; Orleans, III to 1884. At l pm. the
market was nominally unchanged. Sales,
Z, 1000 bales. In New York at the open
ing the demand was fair and prices firm
Low Middlings, sole; Middlings, 313c
Good Middlings and Orleans, S24e. The
demand was moderate and prices firm al
noon, but at the close was dull and prices
lower; Middlings, Gle; Good MiddtDg;
and Orleans, S2e. Our market was much
the same as it has been for the past day
| or two. 10 the morning a few buyers
we're out, but unfavorable adyices caused
| them to withdraw, while holders werf
by no means uneasy, and covered vi
| their tables with as much nonchalance a
though prices were advancing. New
| York quotations were asked here anC
such sales as occurred were made on tina
basis.
