The local money market has shown
but little animation during the past
week. The supply of money is fully
equal to the demand, and discount
rates rule steady at 6 to 8 per cent.
The movement in domestic exchange
has been light in the way Of offer
ings, while the demand for New York
drafts is largely in excess of the sup
ply, hence liberal shipments of cur
rency to the East is necessary to keep
balances even. Rates have ruled I'M
varied, the banks taking cotton bills
on the East at par to 30 discount, and
selling drafts on New York at 3c pre-
MUM. On New Orleans rates rule
steady at par selling and to off buying.
A notable feature in connection
with government bonds is the fact
that the as and AIS are selling at high
er rates in England, considering the
high premium paid for them, than
English 3 per cent consols. The value
Of United States bonds has been fuc-
tuating in New York during the week,
except for extended 6s, which have
all been called in for redemption, and
their ruling value has been 1O14 all
