Financial affairs during the week have
undergone no marked changes. The de-
mand for money has been exceedingly
slight. Exchange has been in fair sup
ply, and transactions in local securi-
ties more active. Rates of discount on
prime paper are 10 to IL per cent at the
banks, and to per cent. per month
in the open market. Checking is ac-
tive to-day, and business generally is ae-

In exchange there has been an ad-
vance of tc in the selling rates during
the week, and in buying cotton bills
the banks pay ! to &c discount, instead
of 4 TO &c, as during last week. Sight
checks are sold at sc discount on East

than since the year 1862, the rate at one
time being 1887 in New York. To-day
