The week opened unusually active
to-day In general business circles. The
pleasant character of the weather enjoyed
seemed to act as q stimulating influence
on commercial matters, and in most
branches Of trade, and also st the banks.
Some Improvement w2s noticeable in
business IS compared with the closing
days OF the previous week. In grain,
produce, general merchandise and lum-
Der, the degree of animation now sxhib-
tied is quite satisfactory, though IN none
tary affairs the feeling is near as animated
as bankers and capitalists would desire.
There is an apparent increase in the gene
raj demand Tor accommodations and dis
counts, yet the calls have not bseu sum
Client to create any comment or develop
any change in the money market. The
leading features OF the market to-day
were essentially the same as during the
past few weeks. All the banks are
dainty supplied with currency, and al
though the available means do not appear
from the statements OF the recently pub
lished condition Of the national insUitu-
lions to DO as liberal as many had antici-
pat6d, they are fully up to the REQUIRE
ments of our mercantile community, and
have improved considerably during the
past month. The rates OF discount in bank
8r6 l0tgl2 per 9 on depOsitOrs' paper
running thirty, sixty and ninety days,
and on all outside paper the rates are 40
higher. with bankers indifferent except
on strictly "~gilt-edge" notes Of short date.
On the street there is a fair inquiry tor
money, and rates of interest vary accord
ing to the class of paper Offering and the
necessity of the borrower. For good two
name paper 2 per cent. is b rate, and for
single name notes ~ is charged,
There has been but a slight decrease in
the demand for exchange, and nOtwith-
standing that the banks have during
the past few days received cotton bills to
the amount OF $500, 900 or more, the ship
ment of currency to the North and East
continues. Those who did not care TO ship
paid the shipping price to their neighbors.
The current buying rates over the c0un
ter Tor through the ~pigeOn-bOle) are par to
i-l0 premium on cotton bills, and Il pre-
MUM on Eastern and Northern banks.
Exchange selling rates are steady at 4
premium New Orleans bills offer slowly,
and ars taken at = to = discount, and
sold at par. About $4,000 of this class of
exchange was taken to-day by one bark.
