TRADE.
The movement in the general market
to-day is light and prices generally are
unchanged Very little is doing in corn,
and although offerings are heavy and at
lower prices, dealers do not seem to anti
cipate higher prices and generally pur-
chase lightly; white shelled, in new gun
MES, is held at Tic, but would be hard to
dispose of in lots at over zoe; mixed is
sold at 6S to CSC, according to quality.
Oats are steady, with moderate offerings
at 63c. Bran is quiet at $25 so, with
fair inquiry. Hay is in moderate de-
mand and is firm at $2l to $22, with very
little choice offering. Provisions are
dull and tending downward here, as well
as at Cincinnati and St. Louis. Bacon
clear sides can be purchased in lots to-
day at 81 to 9sc; mess pork is dull at
SIG so; clear rib sides are dull at 81 to
&c, and shoulders at I to 7sc. Groceries
are steady and unchanged. Butter is in
moderate demand for choice Western at
q to 22c. Eggs are firm at l6 to l6lc
by the package; some 1900 or 1000 dozen
were sold at that price yesterday. New
potatoes are shade easier, and yet some
of the dealers are buying at So to so
per barrel loose from wagon, the latter
price being paid for choice russets. New
apples are in better supply, and are
bought at 81 to 81 per barrel loose from
wagon. Poultry is in fair demand at
So to so for young and S. to so for
old chickens. New onions are dull at
81 so to rs, with good supply.

MONEY.
There is scarcely any change in the
condition of local monetary affairs. The
demand for accommodations is perhaps
a little more active but is far from being
pressing. At the banks the discount
rates are 10 to IL per cent, the inside
rate being charged on prime paper class
ing A No. l, and the outside the general
rate. In the open market rates are ir-
regular and are governed exclusively by
the quality Of the paper offering and the
necessities Of the borrower. In some
instances 3 per cent per month has
been charged. This, however, is an ex-
IRENE price, the current rate being from
| to per cent. per month.
Exchange is making very slowly but
the supply is fully eqnal to the demand.
Cotton bills are taken at par and East
srn checks at &c premium. Sight ex-
change on New York or other cities
North and East is sold at lc premium,
which has been the ruling price for
several months. New Orleans bills are
bought at to &c discount and sold at &c
discount 70 par. e
