FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
MouetarT,

WASHINGTON, Thu rsdsy Evening, Maya.
The local took market to-day bds been quiet
through the entire list. Transactions in the
guaranteed 3s5s are restricted from the fact that
very few are offered. The constant tri-Weekly
issue by the board Of audit in exchange for GER
tifcates of indebtedness, which averages about
800, 900 per week, does not seem to produce de-
cline, as might be naturally expected. There hss
been no disposition to sell except on the part Of
small holders, and the business has been mainly
in that way, although blocks Of $4,000 changed
hands in the morning dealings az 74N. But later
in the day, after these lots were cleared OF, and
under the favorable indication Of bids being made
for the bonds at the New York Stock Board with
responses on the part Of holders, the market at
Wilmington became very strong, and 1t the close
rot q bond could be obtained from large holders
under 75@75H.
The following were the rates at the Stock
Board to-day, furnished by Messrs. Patterson d
