The Inter Ocean of June 2, saws:
Business was quite active among the
banks to-day, owing to. the accumulation in
consequence of the closing yesterday. The
demand for money was quite sharp, as
parties were closing Sup their trade for the
month, and making calculations for large
deliveries on Monday and Tuesday. Bank
ers were restricting their favors somewhat
combining them to their regular customers.
Outside paper was rather neglected, and in
some cases forced to the street. The move
ment OF currency to the country was a trife
larger, indicating further increase in the
movement of grain and live stock"
As usual on Saturday trade was not very
active, and the accumulated receipts only
tended to weaken the markets. Specula-

chased toa moderate extent, while shippers
were not so anxious to take hold, in view
OF the downward tendency of the Eastern
and foreign markets. The impression is
gaining ground that the crops will yield
larger than generally anticipated, and this
opinion is strengthened to some extent by
the increased trading in the longer options,
particularly for July and August. The
movement of grain for the last week ex.
'hibited decrease in the stocks of wheat,
corn, and rye, and an increase in the stocks
of oats and barley. Railroad freights were
quiet, and no change was reported in rates.
Lake freights were weak, with a good sup.

sellers at lower prices, but buyers held Of
Corn was in good request, both on ship
ping and speculative account, and prices
averaged 4@sac higher early, due in q
great measure to the reduction in freights
At the close the market ruled easier, and
the previous improvement in values was
entirely lost. Oats were unsettled and
