MONEY AND COMMERCE.


SATURDAY EVENING, Oct. g.
The past week, like the two preceding, has
been one of extreme Btringency. Scarcely any
Of the banks have been able to accommodate
their regular customers to the usual extent,
and all of them have refused large offerings Of
prime business paper that under ordinary cir
cumstances they would hnve been glad to get.
The brokers in the open market have had their
hands full of good names, and offered the paper
freely at ~ and per cent parmonth. On strictly
frst-class collateral, money has commanded
from 70 to Is per cent per annnm. For the
last day or two there has been q
tendency to an easier condition, though
it's effects upon rates for money in the open
market arc not appreciable yet. To-day few
Of the banks report deposits increasing, and
Say that in consequence they have been able to
increase their accommodations to customers 8
little. a good many Of tho metchants report a
slight Improvement in their collections within
the past few days, and it seems probable that all
the banks will experience some increase in their
deposits during the coming week.
The movements Of currency are getting to be
slightly IN favor Of the city as result Of better
collections in the country.
New York exchange WAS sold between banks
to-day at 80c to $1.00 per $1,000 discount.

year-an increase Of 813, 1861. This market has
been dull and dropping from the opening to the
close. The prevalence of warm weather has eff
fectua1ly excluded packers: but this fsct, had
there been no other drawbacks, would not have
been sufficient to cause the decline OF 20@25c
that prices have sustained since the dste Of our
last weekly review. Shippers were in full at
tendance, and the demand from this source
would no doubt have been sufficient to absorb
tho daily arrivals, had it been possible to obtain
an adequate supply Of cars. The unfavorable
weather, and the scarcity of cars taken in con-
nection with the advance in freights, have made
the past week one Of the dulleRt and most un-
profitable of the season. The extreme range Of
prices paid for car lots was 94.00@4.70, though
the great bulk Of the hogs changed hands ct
