evinced by the regiments to be the

itself by its dash and the manner in
which it closed with the enemy.

General trade

Trade is slack at present in all lines.
A number of wholesale dealers are
filling up their stocks, preparatory to
the opening of the autumn traffic,
which promises to be large and lucra-
tive. but aside from this, very little
beyond the satisfying of the local
demand and a small order business for
the interior, is going on. A slightly
easier tone is noted to. day in corn and
cornmeal, and -four and wheat are
quiet and unchanged. Meats are about
the same as at last report. There is
nothing doing in vegetables worth
speaking of, and values are nominal.
Poultry is not over active, though
prices are rather high, while eggs are
slow and easier.

The position of local finances is ex-
ceedingly quiet, with a feeling gradu.
ally tending toward stringency. Our
banks and insurance companies have
about all of their surplus capital en-
ployed, and it is safe to estimate the
paper discounted by the six banks Of
our city at nearly 100000 in round
numbers, while the insurance COM
panies hold perhaps a million, or
Whereabouts. All Of these discounts
have been made at 8 per cent, a rate
which has ruled steady since April last.
and it is only in the open market
whore gilt edged securities are offered
that lower borrowing rates can be
secured. The prospects indicate that
every dollar of our local capital will
oe actively employed during the fall
ind winter, and at good rates. Ex.
change rules steady, the banks buying
Eastern bills at par to 10 discount,
while they sell drafts on New York at
| tc premium. New Orleans rates are
he off buying and par selling.
