2 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sunpay, June 24, 1966. Business in Wall street during the past week was dull, If we except the gold market, which was very active In the beginning but quiet towards the close, The ex- treme range of the price was from 16834 on Monday, to 1483 on Friday, and the latest transactions up town on Saturday evening were made at 153.a %. The supply of coin for delivery was scarce on Monday and Tuesday, loans having commanded %.a % per cent per diem in favor of the lender, but subsequently it became more abundant, owing to sales of hoards by speculative com. Dinations, and loans were made at rates varying from 1-32 to 3s, and in some instances without in- from mine to sightoon per eomt, As @ consequence of the closeness of the Western money market Eastern ex- change is very easy, rates varying from 1-10 discount to Par buying, and par to 1-10 premium selling. Govern- ments, however, which pay only six per coat in gold, are in active demand, and at Chicago om Thursday last, while money cou!d not be obtained at leas than ten per cent, orders for five-twenty bonds could not be filled at the current rates, The larger portion of that received from the West In dios was undoubtedly the growth of the United States, transported hence by blockade runners. ‘The coinage of the mint of the United States, from 1792 to 1863, including the coinage of the branch mints from the commencement of their operations in 1838, and terest.

Fre- quent confiagrations havo reduced the first class hotels to two—the Union and the Clarendon—both under the supervision of the Messrs. Leland. In proportions the former house has the advantage, while the latter is more retired and altogether more pleasantly situated for inva- lids and quiet people. It also has the convenience of a fine mineral spring within the green carpeted.enclosure, which invalids can use without the trouble of crossing the road to the park and moro frequented springs.

THE CROPS. Cheering Prospects for the Farmers. We give below many extracts from our exchanges re- specting the prospect of the coming crops in various sections of the land. It will be noticed that the a¢- counts are generally much more cheering than in the earlier part of the season, and in case no future blight or misfortune.occyrs, confident anticipations may be enter- tained of a more than average yield of all cereals. The cotton crop is still the subject of much lugubrious tat in the South, but we see no good reason for receding from our estimate of a crop of 2,000,000 bales, made at the opening of the season: — NEW JERSEY. The Philadelphia Telegraph of the 23d inst. reports thet many of tho rs in Camden county are now om- gaged in ering their hay and clover crops, which are remarkably good in quantity and quality. The rye and wheat crops are also well advanced, and will soon be ready for gathering. These, too, present a promising = pearance, and will most likely yield abundantly. other principal crops are equally fine, ILLINOIS. The Alton Democrat has the following:—From an (odl- vidual examination of the wheat crops in the adjoining * counties of Jersey and Gi as well as Madison, we are eatisfied that there wil more than an ~~ We have nevor seen a better promise of an ex lent crop in these counties.
