M. ‘On 'Ohange to-day cotton on the spot was quiet and nominally unchanged, while futures were in moderate demand, put at 1-16c. a 3c. per pound easier rates, The receipts at the ports to-day were 9,x94 bales, Flour, wheat and corn continued dull, but prices were not essentially changed. THE IMPORTS OF THE WEEK. The total imports of foreign goods at this port ‘during the past week were $9,394,736, made up of $3,922,248 of dry goods and bel 472,488 of general, (merchandise. _ ime { fam corron soveuexr. “The total receipts of cotton at all the ports for ‘the past week were 105,528 bales, against 109,153 the previous week. The total receipts since Sep- ‘tember 1, 1872, are 2,715,815 bales, against 2,244,058 for the same period of last year, showing an in- rease in THE PRESENT CROP of 471,757 bales. The exports from all the ports for the week were 60,455 bales, against 89,533 last year. ‘The total exports for the expired portion of the cotton year are 1,608,696 bales, against 1,316,910 last year. The stock at all the ports is 543,973 bales, against 607,148 at the same date in 1872, THE AMENDED “CALL” OF BONDS. - The Secretary of the Treasury issued to-day an ‘amended call, supplementary to that of February 6, reducing the amount of 5-203 of 1862 to be re- deemed June 1 to $50,000,000, the designations of the bonds being as follows:— SouroN BONDS—SECOND SERIES. + 16,180 to 41,373 +++ 27,444 to 71,259 COUPON BONDS—THIRD SERIES. 1 0 1,200 lto 4,752 1 to 3,000 1to 5,738 $45,000,000 508. $41 to 1,233 1008, 5,992 to 8,803 5008. 2,959 to 5,300 11,0008. 13,151 te 20,680 + 5,0008, 4,103 to 6,402 ‘40,0008. seveees 4,775 to 7,092 Total boy cobalt bonds. $5,000,000 Grand seveeee 50,000,000 The hy text of the call will be found in our ‘Washington despatches elsewhere. THE PUBLIC DEBT. The public debt statement shows a reduction @uring February of $5,277,890. The net currency balance in the Treasury is $4,600,902, and coin, after allowing for certificates, $41,905,801. The total debt, less cash in the Treasury and exclusive of accrued interest, is $2,179,558,926, THE FOREIGN MARKET. The London quotations came firmer for consols Bnd steady for United States bonds. Erie shares ‘were strong at 52% 524, ex-dividend, equivalent 4m our currency to about 6544. The new Frenca loan was buoyant at an advance to 6% per cent premium, MONEY EASIER. ‘The money market was easier, the average rate on call having been about 1-32 in addition to legal (interest. As the 1-32 was paid for the two days to Monday the equivalent rate per annum was about 1234 per cent. The highest rate was 1-16 and the dowest 7 per cent, the latter occurring quite early in the afternoon; but, contrary to the usual EXPERIENCE OF SATURDAY the market haraened again, and by three o’clock the rate had recovered to 1-32 and interest. Early 4n the day a good deal of stock “turning” was done at 3 peor cent, even where the market price was considerably below par. Commercial paper was quiet and nominal. Foreign exchange was dull, and rates as lately quoted were unchanged, both at the desk and in actual business. The easier tenor of the market the past few days, while refer- rible in great part to the fail in prices and SHRINKAGE IN VALUES at the Stock Exchange and to the less active de- mand for currency to go West, can also be traced 4o the cessation of contraction on the part of the Treasury Department, the debt statement of to-day showing thet the outstanding legal tenders are down to the original limit of $356,000,000, as if Mr. Boutwell had determined to fully make his peace ‘with the contractionists of Massachusetts prelim- inary to presenting himself as a candidate for the United States Senate. The Treasury Department thas isued a call for a further redemption to the ex- tent of $300,000 0f the Tiree Per Cent Certificates, Anterest on which will cease on the 30th of April ext, This call includes all the ten-thousand-dol- lar certificates, THE BANK SATEMENT. ‘The weekly statement o/ the associated banks is quite favorable so far as the week’s banking move- ment is concerned, the gain in actual reserve hav- ing been $586,400, while the contribution to the net feserve is over a million and a half dollars, so that the deficiency in legal reserve is reduced to a mat- ter of afew hundred thousand dollars. The chief changes for the week are a contraction of about five anda half millions in loans and a decrease of early four millions in deposits, from which the in- ference is fairly taken that the loss in deposits has been the consequence not so muck of a movement of currency to the interior as of a curtailment of etedite—the diminished advances by the Wall street banks upon Pacific Mail shares being in themselves sufficient to account for a good part of the amount. The statement compares with its predecessor of last week as follows :— Feb. 21. $286,870,100 046,900 oi bts 100 205,898,700 202,086, 100 March 1. ~ AN anslysis of the above figures shows that the ‘banks. now hold within $322,350 of the required Amount of reserve, against a deficiency last week ws $1,869,850—being a gain for the week of $1,537,500. ‘THE RAILROAD BONDS. * ame ratiroad bonds were generally quiet. mol Union Pacific incomes were steady at 71, ex interest, and the land grants were firmer. Boston, Hartford and Erie firsts advanced to 393 on the discovery that the Erie application for an injunction to prevent the foreclosure was coupled with am offer on the part of that company to pay the coupons and re- deem the franchise. The following were the bids at the call, as amended by prices in subsequent dealings :— New York Con 6's. 1883. 93 ie Ist Erle Pd 10, 79. krie 7’s, sd m, 8S.

The Sub-Treasury paid out $100 on account of redeemed five-twenties and $185,000 on account of interest, The European steamers took out $384,000 in silver. The specie exports for the week were $625,486, and since the beginning of the year have been $10,163,576. The course of the market is shown in the table:— In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 6 per cent for carrying to flat for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as Sok, lows :— Soa ane oT % ser 8, 000 + 1,494,267 > 2)667,710 GOVERNMENTS FIRM, The government list was firmer with the ad- vance in’ gold and quiet, closing as follows:— United States currency sixes, 114% a 114343 do., 1881, registered, 1165; a116%{; do. do., coupon, 1184 a 118%; do. five-twenties, registered, May and November, 1155 @ 115%; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 11556 @ 11634; do, do., 1864, do. do., 11584 a 11534; do. do., 1865, do. do., 116% a117; do. sixty-sevens, regis- tered, January and July, 11434 a 114% ; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 114% a114%; do. do., 1867, do. do, 116% a 116% ; do. do., 1868, do. do., 116% a 11654; do. ten-forties, registered, 11134 @ 11134; do. do., coupon, 1113 a 111%; do. fives of 1881, registered, 11334 a 11334; do. do., coupon, 113% a 113%. STOCKS DULLER AND IRREGULAR. The stock market was less active and for most of the list was steady. Erie, Central and Lake Shore were 3% better. Western Union was weak and declined to 893s. Pacific Mail continued fever- ish between 5834 and 56, and closed as nearly as might be at the exact intermediate of these ex- tremes. The Erie transfer books closed to-day for the dividend of 1% per cent on the common stock and 3% per cent on the preferred, payable March 15, The Southern State’ bonds were rather more active, with prices steady. The Tennessees sold at 81, but continued to be offered at that figure. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.
