page 8 THE NASHVIILE DISPATCH, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1866
At 4 P.M Friday gold was quoted in New York.at 139 1/4. Yesterday it opened at 139 1/2. There is little doing in southern bank notes in the Nashville market, except the old issue of the Bank of Tennessee. In these there is some inclination to speculation. It is claimed by some that they are worth 43 to 45 cents; but it is certain there are round sums on the market at 42, with no buyer as yet. We therefore quote at 40&43. It may not be impossible that brokers sometimes effect sales at the letter figure, to parties who wish the bills for special and immediate use.
In Cincinnati compound internet notes are scarce, and are quoted at 2c for May dates, 4c for December dates, and so on up to 7c for June issues.
The Cincinnati Gazette of Thursday says: A few days since we had accounts of forgeries in Boston, by means of which several banks were swindled. Yesterday the same game was attempted at Louisville. To-day two parties were arrested here, who were caught in attempting to pass forged checks. Particulars are given in our city department. An effort, nearly simultaneous, has, it is seen, been made, as usual, for obtaining money in this way, in various parts of the country, and bankers cannot too carefully scrutinize checks presented by strangers for payment. In this city the bad practice prevails of drawing checks payable to bearers and it is comparatively easy. therefore to obtain money on forged paper. It is not known as yet whether fraudulent checks have been passed on any of the banks, but when individual accounts come to be balanced, forgeries will probably be discovered. The band of swindlers operating here would barely content themselves with the manufacture of just two checks, calling for the modest sum of about $4,400 each."
The following is a statement of the number of notes of each denomination of the numbers of note each denomination of the National Bank currency issued for circulation up to February 1, 1866:
One dollar $3,334,000 Two dollar 2,255,400 Five dollar 90,041,500 Ten 64,908,500 Twenty dollar 85,457,900 Fifty dollar 13,872,200 One hundred dollars 20,500,00 Five hundred dollars 6,007,00 One thousand dollars 4,493,000 ____ 249,819,000
The exports of domestic produce and miscellaneous good from New York last week were to the value of 5,917,602 against 4,808,182 same week last year. Included in the exports were 14,807 bales of cotton, valued at 3,331,952.
The New York tribute of the 7th inst says:"There is an active demand for compound notes, and they promise to be still higher under a demand from city banks, which are weak in their reserve of lawful money. The weekly statement shows that leading institutions are violating the law and doing business in a manner neither creditable or legal."

Cincinnati, Feb 10-Gold 1385.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE
Cotton was inactief yesterday, under still further advices of unfavorable character. There were Liverpool dates in New York to the 28th and cotton was quoted "dull, nominal, and unchanged." We understand that private advices form New York quoted Cotton there at 43o yesterday. We could not hear of a single sale yesterday in the Nashville market. Forty-seven cents was offered for the best grade of Tennessee; but holders are resolute in refusing less than forty cents for this class of cotton. The receipts of the day were 84 bales; shipments, 180.
The Cincinnati commercial says of provisions and hogs on Thursday:
"The provision market was more quiet than it has been for a few days past Mess Pork sold at 25c, and Lard 18c, but the demand as not active, and it was said to be not difficult to fill the orders. Bacon is dull, and concessions were made in prices. Shoulders were purchasable at 14c; Slides at 16c 17c and clear sides 18c the Hog market rests at the quotations given several days past-- $11 75a12, for city dressed, with but little doing.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the same day says: "The receipts fo hogs being only 500 head, indicate that the season is about over. The packing will not probably foot up over 350,000 head in this city, or about the same as last season; but the increase in weight will make it nearly equal to 400,00 head.
The Chicago Tribute of the 7th says: "There is considerable anxiety manifested in the commercial circles with regard to the future receipts of hogs at the point. For two days past the receipt hogs at his point. For two days past the receipts have been unusually light, and estimates for the week range from 30,000 to 50,000. Under this state of opinion holders of hog product are more hopeful, and the markers all over the country are firmer in consequences. It is generally thought that receipt will dwindle down to three or four thousand daily. The advices from Iowa would seems to indicate that the 'run' was over for the season; but there are numerous places in the Northwest where it is reported there is yet a fair supply. One thing is certain the hogs which have arrived here arrived here within the past week been [?] lighter than the average of the season, and this is said to be a mistakable sign of the end the crop."
