business feeling is to apsthetic and spir-
iilssJ FOR any large amount OF money to
be sought On loan. There is no attempt
to invest IL anything Of 8 business char
act T, and the spirit Of specul alton ap-
pears to be ia state Of suspended anil
nation, if the word animsiiOn cap in
any way be used in this connection. The
bank rate On discount is 10 per cent, but
pipsr has to be sifted through q micro
sc p.cslly fine SIEVE before the banks
will accept it. Exchange is not in q
thoroughly settled condition, tut the
quotations still are discount buying n
! New York and discount on New Or
LEAFS; 81 llTg ON both st par. The
amount OF exchange is necessarily fall
ing of, owing to the heavy condition OF
the cotton market, but as the demand
ios 1t has fallen off also, no tncoDve-
nience results. Gold during the week
has advanced; yesterday at noon New
| York quoted ia; the Monday previous
| the rate was ll3; this makes the purchas-
| ing power of the gIeenback one cent on

for gold with little offering Scrips have
been quiet all week with little change.

spoken Of as follows in q London |
telegram that reached the APPEAL |
Office yesterday: "The MiDchipg Lane |
markets have not undergone any altera- |
lions this week. Transactions have been |
only to a moderate extent. Yesterday |
there was q revival of the demand by !
refiners for West Indies sugar, and sew.
ersl parcels Of crystalized SUGAR, which |
were sold by auction, realized firmer |
rates. Low brown s0rts, OF which the |
supply is large, have not quite MAIN |
tanned their previous value Refined |
sugsrs met with ready buyers for crys-
tale. Plantation and Ceylon coffee, by |
auction, has sold with considerable |
spirit at higher rates for Colony sorts. |
Active grades are steady. At sale held |
by the Netherlands trading company |
Wednesday last prices were generally |
better, but this favorable result haI not |
caused any improvement in common /
kinds here, owing to the full supplies
still offering. Some further contracts
