Pittsburg, Fort ‘Wayne 5, Mariposa 13. Government seourities continued dull and steady, At the open board at half-past three the market was ateady. Money continues moderately active at seven per cent on call, The suppiy of funds at the disposition of: the national banks is small, owing tothe Treasury keepimg its balances ratuer closely drawn, At tho same time the general reduction of deposit accounts at all tho banks, Which is usual at this season of the year, contributes to the temporary scarcity cf currency, But as dis Dursements follow rapidly upon receipts, there will goon be a roturn flow of money, beth from the Treasury and the pockets of the People, who are carrying more of it than they ordinarily do. The demapa for cali Joans.is mainly from specule- tors ia government securities, who are saddied with large Jots which they are anable to dispose of at a profit to themsecives, No partiouiar change in the condition of the money morket or the price of securities is likely vo take place during the remainder of the week; but after Mon day next increasing ease will be feit and a stronger specu- lative feoling will be likely to develop itself.
