Friday Evening, Nov. 23, 1877. f
There is little new to note in the situation
of the local money market. Banks and bank-
ers have met a b; isk demand for discounts at
12 per cent., but have been choice in their se-
lection ef paper. In open market there has
been rather more doing, rates varying from
1}4 to 2 per cent., according to the nature of
collates Is or rank of names.
Iu stocks there is little or no business do
ing, an I no change to note.
State bonds are in steady demand, but no
sales have transpired, and none of the issues
are offered here.
For county bonds the inquiry is good, but
the offerings of these are also trivial. Outside
figures were realized in the limited transac-
tions reported
In city bonds limited sales of 8's have occur-
red at 80@Slc. flat. Offerings light.
The exchange market has rulel very close.
Bad weather and light sales of cotton early in
the week operated unfavorably, and steady
orders from interior points laigely absorbed
tha surplus. The large sates of cotton during
the last four days promise reUef, but thus far
little or nothing has been delivered on en-
gagements against these purchase®, and the
week closes upon a very strong market for
immediate drawings.
Gold advanced during the week to 103}£ at
New York, but receded again to 102%, which
is the closing figure.
Silver has been in better demand, and hold-
ers of Mexican have been subjected to only 1
to 2 per cent, discount, American being quot: d
at from one per cent! discount to par. At Lon-
don silver has declined and closes at 51)£d for
fine bar.
The Bank of England continues its rate at 5
per cent. The rate in open market advanced
atone time this week to 4>£, then weakened to
and closed at 4)4 P«r cent. Money on call is
steady in New York at 6 per cent. ^

weekly review.
NEWS OFFICE. 1
Friday Evening, Nov. 23, 1877. \
The activity in the cotton market has been
the most conspicuous feature in commercial
circles this week. The course of prices has
been upward, and there appears to be a
gradual going over to short-crop estimates
and a corresponding strengthening of the
situation, which already had the support of a
deficit in receipts at all ports thus far this
season of over three hundred thousand bales.
The actual figure this evening is 312,532 bales.
The large deficit in the visible supply is also
increasing from week to week, and the only
evident want of strength in the position is the
uncertein attitude of both foreign and domes-
tic cotton goods markets. The tone of thes*
is not, however, as discouraging as it was las^
week, and Manchester reports yarns and
fabrics steady, while private telegrams from
domestic manufacturing centers indicate that
the tendency of prices is upward.
In the wool market there has been more
life this week and some competition between
buyers. Prices are quoted up a cent on the
better grades, but the coarse and heavy qual-
ities are slow of sale.
Hides have touched bottom, for the time
being, at least, and the prices paid during the
past two days authorize an advance of a half
cent in quotations. The statistical position is
not strong, however, and the improvement is,
jn some well-informed circles, only looked
upon as temporary.
In the general market lower prices have
prevailed for sugar and coffee, but the latter
promises to sustain quotations, owing to the
appended favorable telegram to M. Kopperl,
importer, which shows a decrease in stock of
P0.000 sack3, and a falling off in receipts of
1000 sacks per diem, also a recovery in price
of 200rs. since Nov. 17:
new York, Nov. 22, 1877.
To M. Kopperl:
We have i io telegrams 21st since 14th.
Sales for United States 55,000 sack*; s ock,
130 000: daily rtcejpts, 83 0 sacks. Price:
Reis, 930"; firm. Exchange, 25J4d. Better
feeling here. Market tending upwards. No
sellers at i82. for good cargoes.
The weather has been more favorable
throughout the State, but cotton picking, is
about over. The late heavy rains destroyed a
graat deal of cotton that was left in the field
and injured much that remained in pens.
The New York Chronicle of last Saturday
summarised its telegrams fromjabout thirty
principal points in the South, and made the
deduction that the weather had been a decided
improvement on previous week's, and had
been favorable for picking everywhere.
