FIRST BOARD.

The New York Herald says in its money
article of Wednesday evening:
"Money during the earlier hours OF
business was in good demand at the full
legal rate, and some hasty borrowers and
weak houses paid as high as gold interest.
The supply was abundant after two o'clock
and lenders had difficulty in placing all
their balances at seven per cent. The
activity has worked ipjuriOusly to the
commercial interest, whose paper is less in
requisition and hence offering at higher
rates of discount. A few days since the
pressure was from the buyers, and rates in
extreme quotations declined 10 seven per
cent. With the change in the money mar.
ket there is more paper offering, and the
pressure is rather from makers. rates
ranging from eight to ten per cent. for
prime double name acceptauces"
The New York Independent of the 5th
inst. says of the dry goods market:
Notwithstanding the continued abun-
dance of money, the rise in the price Of
gold, and the lively speculations that
have been going on down in Broad street
the past week, it is very remarkable that
there has been falling market in do
nestle dry goods, though the transactions
have been on a considerable scale. There
has been lack of stimulus, which has op
Grated alike on both seller and buyer. The
disposition to press sales causes a disincli
nation to purchase, and 80 the market
droops.
In unbloached sheetings and shirtings
there is feeling of timidity among buy
ers, and prices are yielding while the
transactions are on a very limited scale,
just equal to the immediate demands Of
trade. Our quotations on standard makes
are about half a cent yard lower than
tho e of last week, and the lighter weights
have fallen in about the same proportion,
The business in bleached shirtings and |
sheetings has been on a very moderate

scale, and is confined chiefly to few pop
ular makes. There is general feeling of
duilness, which may at any moment, how
ever, be changed for one Of liveliness, for
we cannot but regard the existing state of
trade as the result Of accident rather than
the natural effect Of any permanent
causes.
There has been a rather better de-
mand for printing cloths, and considera-
BILE sales have been effected, preparatory
to the fall business, but without any
increase of prices.
Prints have been in increased demand
and the activity in medium colors has
been quite marked; but for light patterns
there is less inquiry, and the manufacturer
show some anxiety 70 press sales. The
market is very well supplied with new
and attractive styles from the Merrimack
Mills. Sprsgue's fancies sell at l2l cents
less the regular discount. f

A Co,mnrchensIYe Senrch Warrant.

A cOloted woman who has lately been
unfortunate enough TO have some property
stolen, has reason to think the same is now
concealed in Black Centre. She applied
to Esquire Wilkinson for search warrant,
but was unable TO say against what par
ticular place in chat locality she wished it
directed. She wanted it taken out for
Black Centre at large, saying that if she
could not find her goods there, she would
have the warrant amended so as to EN-
brace HelPs- Half-Acre. The paper was
issued, and placed in the hands of Consta-
BILE Sumner for execution and return.
