DIRECT FOREIGN MpoRTATIoSs. FINANCES ETC.
The invoice value of foreign imports made
under the actof Congress Of July a. 1870, into
Cincinnati, during 1872, was s., ,666, ,064,-a in
crease Of s309,607 over direct importations dur
ing the year 1872.
The report. says Of real estate transactions,
that they, present no special features, except
that they have not been at all speculative. Tho
city finances, it says, never exhibited more sta
.bility aad strength. In March last, after three
months of full supply, the money market be-
came contrary to it's habit for this month, strin-
gent; but private capital stepped forward
promptly aud relieved it from absolute oppres-
RireneBs. This stringencv. which continued
through the summer months, is attributed to
the more than usual draft by emigration upon
the money supply Of Cincinnati q for invest
ment in tho
L.NDs OF TIE SoRTHTEsTASD WEST
and for the production of crops in the South"
The effect Of this was to check specu1ations en-
the one Land, ond to invite foreign capitaI en-
the other, Money ranged at from to 10 per
cent interest. with occasional call loans at per
cent; while domestic exchange occasionally
brought 1-1o premium but, as = rule. sold al
par, and raa bought at from 1-20 to Ito dis
count By report Of the manager of the Clear
