On Change to-day cotton on the spot was quiet,

THE FOREIGN MARKET.
The London market, now that our own is so in
Sunerably dull, is watched with more than usual
interest since upon one or the other Of its quota
tons may possibly depend leading feature Of the
days operations At the present time it is active
and steady, consols being quoted at osx 1s67s at
pH, ten-forties at $50, and the new 1ves, s9x.
Erie was apparently in good demand, opening at
ASK, and advancing in the afternoon to 491s thus
giving tone to the stock on this side,
"a will be observed elsewhere. The rate of
discount OF the Bank of England is unchanged, but
during the past week the bullion has decreased
GAIA 900. The discount for bills In open market
was per cent below the bank rate and likewise
lower than II several days ago. indicating
easier money in the open London market. f7o,O00
went into the bank on balance account during the
day.
THE MONEY MARKET
There is nothing to record concerning the condi-
tfon OF this market beyond what has been daily
stated for nearly q week past. Currency is still
seeking employment, and finds customers with
prime commercial paper at a per cent discount
1t was perhaps tribe stronger on demand loans
to-day, and ranged from to per cent with the
bulk OF the business done at the intermediate
figure. Foreign exchange continued dull and was
nominaly unchanged, but the drawers allowed
more liberal brokerage. The market remains
easy, though participating in the general stagna-
tion which seems at the present moment to afiict
every department on 'Change.
special despatch from Washington states that
the members OF the Syndicate to-day waited on
Secretary Richardson and notified him that the
