The money market is, legitimately speak
ing, easy, and an ample surplus of loanable
funds is seeking investment at 12 per cent, per
annum, and all cffetings of collateral paper
are promptly taken off the market.

more difficult to place, but (lit edged, two-

NEWS OFFICE. 1
Friday Evzhino. October 36, 1877. (
With due allowance fortwo days heavy rain,
which restricted all out-door transactions,
the business of the week, when summed up,
furnishes a satisfactory aggregate. Orders,
as usual, predominated, but there are more
buyers on the spot at the close ot the week,
and during the first days of November a con-
siderable improvement in trade is looked for.
The general market presents a few salient
points of Interest. Coffee, after a pratracted
period of dullness, closes firm. Rio advices
indicate a falling off in receipts and a sharp
reduction of the stock.
Appended is a copy ot a telegram received
this morning:
Nkw York, Oct. 26, 1877.
To M. Kopperl:
We have Rio News of J4ih Inst. Since the
17th sales for United States, 50,000 sacks;
stock at date, 90,000 sacks: receipts—average
daily—9000 sacks; price 1C0 reis higher and
very firm; exchange % higher. Prices steady,
19c. for " good cargoes ." Market quiet.
In the market for State products a decline of
a cent on hides is a conspicuous feature. Wool
is moving sluggishly, and last week's extreme
quotations are cut down a cent a pound.
Cotton has been in good demand, and the
movement has only been retarded by the very
wet weather. The heavy rains which prevail-
ed here this week extended through the coast
counties. The rainfall at this point was over
inches. In the upper portion of the State
the fall waj, comparatively speakljg, light.
NO DEDUCTION FOR SIDE PIECES ON
cotton.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Cotton Exchange, held to-day, it was de
elded to rescind its former action requiring a
deduction of three pounds per bale on all cot"
ton with side pieces of bagging. As .the law re-
quiring the thorough covering of all cotton
Bhipped on passenger steamers has not bsen
changed, the requirement of the use of side
plecas on all such cotton remain in full force.
Their former action in adopting the rule
was to conform with the course pursued by
other exchanges, and was also partly in-
fluenced by the assertion that there existed a
1 aw of Congress dispensing with their use.
as was set forth in positive terms at the
late session of the National Cotton Exchange
of America.
