In the local money market there is
no essential change except a tendency
towards closeness, aud a stronger tone
in discount rates, their being no su-
perabundunce of funds among our

rated at from 6 to 5 per cents. Ex-
change is UNMARRIED at ] to 4c dis

for eastern, also to off buying and par
selling on New Orleans.
On the first inst. the quarterly in
.terest on $3.50, OOO, 900 Al per cents was

this account is $685., 800. The pay

Cotton.

The market here ruled steady and
unchanged to-day, both Liverpool and
New York showing no variation
worthy Of note.
Receipts of cotton at all United
States ports last Saturday were 6733
bales, and 1903 less than on the same
day last year. Receipts at all ports
for the seven days ending last
Friday were 5l,116 bales, and
71,367 bales less than last yearfor same
time. To~talreceipts since September
4,0lS,S39 bales, being GA 1876 less than
last year and 2S0,3l7 less than the year
before for the same time. Total for
eign shipments this season have been
1888, 316 bales against 2,595,96O bales,
and 2,55l,525 bales for 1881
and 1880. Total stock is
now 1,Ol4,299 bales, against 875,786
and 938,O06 bales last year and the
year before at the same time. Total
visible supply Feb. z4th, 3,124,1O5
bales; excess over last year 1855
bales.
At this time in 1877 we were re.
ceiving at the ports about the same
quantity of cotton as at present, viz
8 1000 bales per week. From this date
to the end of August that year the
total receipts were 345,89l bales. II
we do as we'll this year the total port
receipts will reach 4,376,000 bales, or
1.45l, 900 bales less than last years
total. If we allow as much for South.
ern and Northern consumption or
overland movement as last year, this
will give us a total crop for the season
Of 1872 of between 10000 and
5,2OO,0O bales. Next after 1877. the
lightest movement between March
and September for any of the past
thirteen years was in 1872, when 1885,
S79 bales came in between the first
week Of March and the end ofAugust.
We were then getting at the ports
10000 bales for the past week. or
1000 less than at present. The visi-
BILE supply at hat time was 2,454,324
bales. or 660, 900 less than at present,
and the season closed with a visible
supply of 2,155,555 bales, or nearly a
million less than is now in sight, and
nearly 100000 bales more than was
visible at the close Of last season. The
following table Of cotton receipts after
this date for the past twelve years,
with the ruling value per pound Of
middling at New York during the first
weekin March, and the total crop 81
