Without large demand for Exchange, Sterling has
advanced to 9 asi for best bankers signatures. We
hear Of no sales at the higher rate. The supply Of
Cotton bills has been kept back by the low water IN

advance in rates has been assisted by the partial dis
credit which has been hanging over bills, which has
caused larger demand for such as were considered
"gilt-edged." Francs are 5lsi a5.l3i
