from Liverpool and New York stimu-

Business in financial circles for the

tons worthy of interest; business in all
branches has been dull throughout
the week, with cotton at a low ebb and
little movement in it. The week opens
out quiet, with little animation in money
circles and nothing doing to-day beyond
the local checking aud depositing. The
banks report collections easy, with bal
ances we'll kept up, Currency continues
in good supply, the banks d%iscounting
