reruseu to nre at an unarmed man, and discharged
his rifle in the air and declared himself satisfied.
Mutual 'explanations were made, and their difficulties
adjusted. The Opata Indians were committing great

COMMERCIAL.
NEW YORE, August 3

The Foreign Exchange market continues to droop, and
the quotations of yesterday, viz., 1101 for bankers' 60-day
sterling bills, and 110 5-6 to for short sight, are
maintained with difficulty. This week's steamer will
not take out much over half a million of dollars, if the
shipment reaches that figure. On the other hand, yester-
day's quotations for money are very firmly maintained, and
the market is hardening on the basis of 6to 7 for call
loans, • with very little business below the higher rate, and
8 per cent. for hrst-class mercantile paper over 60 days. A
very slight further advance in the rates for money would
exercise a marked effect on the exchange market and the
exports of specie. Notwithstanding the heavy imports, if
money were worth 8 and 9 per cent. here, while it ranges
from 3 to 4 throughout Europe, many European bankers
would leave their balances on this side,,,and money would
be borrowed in London for use here. That this will be the
case before long there is every reason to expect.
The exports of the week are large, nearly as large as
those of 1857. We notice a shipment of flour to Liver-
pool, and re-shipment of German dry goods to Hamburg.
If some of our foreign importers were to send back whence
they came a cargo or two of the dry goods which are pour-
ing in, they would probably save money. The following is
the comparative statement of the exports (exclusive of snemel

Tew York to foreign 'ports, for the week, and-since'

The Stock Market continues to be dull and uninteresting.
The revival of public confidence in stocks and in railroads is
naturally slow, and the operators for a fall have had a long
chapter of accidents in their favour. The small earnings of
the railroads, the war in Europe, the unsettled condition of
the money market, and now, last of all, the unwise policy
of the banks' in refusing to accommodate themselves to cir-
cumstances and to contract with more vigour, have all
helped the bare interest, and depressed stock values. As
these causes cease to operate, we shall witness a different
state of things.
