Of occasional shipments of currency Il
Cincinnati and st. Louis, but as q gen.

City bonds are scarce. We could here of
neither offerings or sales, and quote

There is a better demand for Scrip a
lot of $1,000 vas taken at lie by q dealer.
and an offer OF 72c for q like amount
was refused. Orders can be filed at 73c
by dealers, but we do not think there il
much in the hands Of anxious sellers.
County Warrants are in demand. A
dealer sold $1,000 at 52c, which was rather
under the market, as others are buying
all small warrants offered at that
figure.
Police Scrip is firm. Buying at 75c;

The British Government having Just
