MONEY THREE TO SIX PER CENT.
Money was easy at tour per cent on governments
and al five and six per cent stocks. SIX per cent
was the renewal rate In many instances, but was
seldom paid In fresh business. On the other hand
a number OF balances were left with the government
dealers late in the day at three per cent. Prime
commercial paper was more readily negotiable at
ga per cent discount.

basis Of ITO q 1l01 for prime bankers sixty days

The gold market was steady, If not firm, at the re-

ON Change to-day wheat was nrmer on Intelli.
gence OF quite serious break in the Erie Canal.
The cotton mauSet was heavy, dull and lower.
THE COTTON MOVEMENT
The receipts oTcotton ut all the ports for the past
week were 5e,6s5 bales against 5000 bales the pre-
vous week. The total receipts since September l,
1870 are s57o,55s paes against 257s 497 bales for
the corresponding period OF the previous year, show
ing Increase or 991 bales In the present crop
The exports from all the ports for the week were
81 322 bales against 49, 344 bales the week last
year. The total exports for the expired portion OF
the cotton year are 2,6ls 09l bales against 175597s
bales for the time in I8G9-7o. The stock at all
the ports 453,7s bales against 346 223 bales
the same week In 1870.
THE hank STATEMENT.
The weekly statement OF The associated banks is
more favorable than anticipated, and gave rise TO
some suspicious that the larger operators at the
Stock Exchange had used their influence to render
the exhibit az nattering possible Most OF It's
good features are, however, accounted for IN great
part by the legitimate movement OF currency this
direction, and 1t Is not at all difficult To
explain an increase OF over million
and a half dollars OF specie, considering that
while the Treasury dsbursed two millions
ny direct sale, 1t paid out about five millions the
way OF May interest on the public debt. 1t Is true
that the gold sold by the government did not count
for Its whole amount, coming late In the week, but
the statement reflects III some degree the four mil
hons sold at the corresponding time OF the previous
week. Hence, while the export OF specie ana the
payments for customs have been heavy,
they were not up TO. the disbursements
Of gold Hence the large Increase In specie
In bank. The legal tenders having increased
about $3,90o,O0o the total legal reserve was
augmented by about S5.5oo,OO0, but the deposits
having also increased about 5000 600, the real gain
in reserve and TO be added to the surplus above the
legal requirement Is just "a, S4o326. The total
plus now amounts to about $12 500, 600. The state
meut contrasts with It's predecessor as follows:--

GOVERNMENTS FIRM.
The continued strength OF the gold market ana
the buoyancy Of ive-twenues in Europe rendered
the government list nrmer and led 10 slight adj
vance In some OF the issues. The easy condition Of
the money market also aided IN esta bshing firm
