The leading topic in monetary cir
cles is the excitement in the princi-
pal eastern markets caused by the new
three per cent funding bill nov before
congress, but which most recent ad-
vices report is not likely to become a
law, it having stuck in the ways and
means committee room too long to adj
NIT Of its getting to the president in
legal time. The object of the bill is
to refund in three per cents the bonds
Of the nation falling due between this
and June next. The New York money
market was in a state of tumult all
the week, but Friday was the worst
The fluctuations in leading stocksshow
a decline Of from 3 to p per cent,
though happily the situation became
steadier, and at the close Of the week
the depression had apparently passed
of. No failures except a small broker
or two are reported. Foreign ex-
change was more disturbed ON ac-
count Of the trouble than ever before,
the rates of sterling reducing from day
to day until the drop was AID on each
class. Government bonds felt the ef-
fects of the pressure, and declined
from J to u, the latter being on the
4per cents. They recovered, however,
and closed strong. No arrivals Of
gold are reported from abroad during
the past week. The reduction on
the public debt during the
month closing to day is. set down at
$lO,O 900, 1000. Louisville and Nash
vile stock closed in New York Satur
day at 88, having been down to ~
Nashville and Chattanooga at 81, and
Iron Mountain at SO, a considerable
recovery on all from lowest prices OF
the week.
In this market there has been no
violent fluctuations, nor has the dis
turbance east affected the local fnan-
cal situation. Money is in ample sup
ply. and the current rates are easy at
6 per cent. Exchange is steady, with
offerings about equal to the demand.
Bankers rates are par to &c off for
eastern cotton bills and &c premium
for drafts on New York. CINCINNATI
or St. Louis. On New Orleans rates
