Money is pretty tight aud viii continue
to be until our merchants are enabled to
unload the large quantity of cotton now
on their hands. While currency is net
absolutely scarce, yet it is anything but
abundant, nor is a surplus probable be-
fore the situation is made easy by free
sales Of the staple. Erst.class paper
finds favor at s to 10 per cent, but street
rates are much higher and almost beyond
reach. Exchange rates are steady ct !
discount for demand on New York and
the East and discount for sight on
points beyond New York. New Orleans
rates are of buying, snd par selling.
Gold opened in New York to day at 1921
and closed at l02. Dealers here pay l0l
and sell lie higher, with offerings light
aud little demand. There is some in
