Under the large sales Of cotton, which have been
going on for some days past, the exchange market
has been more or less influenced. Blended, as the
cotton market is with exchange, the results Of large
offerings Of foreign bills and with many orders to be
executed for Western account, the transactions to-
day were heavy, and the amount for the week will be
as large as for any week of the The counter
rate for checks at the banks ruled at dis. Outside
double AL drawers sold largely at ] dis. In short
sight there were transactions at dis. Sixty days
sight good to fair commercial bills were taken at L.
II q get dis. There are large sums to be drawn
for on New York. Many of the purchases of cotton
on foreign account made the realization of ex
change on New York. In Sterling there was good
amount Of business done to-day. Bills with docu.
ments were passed at lOs0l084, and some fraction
lower, ranging from 1O7i@los4. Clear bills were
held too high for dealers, some drawers asking 1Os3
There were sales, however, at 1854, and several
round sums were closed at 10sA@l0sf. In francs
there were sales Paris direct of 100000 at 5.ls2
for part and 5.20@52l4. One party passed 200, 900
between the figures. Bank drafts are held higher,
say 5.13305.lO.
There was very little done in paper. The discount
brokers have apparently nothing on hand to offer
their principals The calls on the banks are above
the income. 1t u.s. however, manifest that the line Of
discounts will be well maintained, the demands Of
business requiring it. There is no change in the
rates of commercial securities. Double AL long
dated rules at 7a@s get choice, s@sa; good, SIG
0 !; good to fair, 8, 10@1l aSct.
The scarcity Of business paper has somewhat
started lenders and as the season is advancing they
are seeking for employment. Several have turned
their attention to stocks which has resulted in seve
| raj transactions this week at advancing figures,
which we have from day to day noted. The sales to-
day were rs shares Canal Bank at 100, and 100 do.
Southern Oil Company at IS 5000 first Mortgage
Bonds Of jackson Railroad at 10 and interest
The most important feature in finance to-day was
| the sale to the Commissioners of the Consolidated
Debt of the City of 200 bonds of the city, There
very few proposals, and comparing them with the
tenders two years ago and year ago, highly i'm
proved opinion Of the value Of our city securities is
abroad. Nearly three years ago, when proposals
were issued the amount offered was 81 100000. One
year ago the amount offered twas 1903 OO0 and 20O
600, the sum required, were obtained at 50 rs. In
May, 1857 the surplus of the funds Of the Consolidated
Debt 00 The proposals for the sale of bonds
for this amount the 10th May, 1857, ranged from
| 7s4 and interest to 50, "a and IS clear.
The proposals expiring yesterday were to sell
$780, 600, which elected the following tenders:

The so much talked-of Bullion Bank has been or
ganzed in New York, with capital of one million Of
dollars. This sum is too limited to have any effect on
the currency. The Directors of the Association COM
prise some of the old and sterling merchants of New
York. Among them we observe the name of Mr..
Matthew Morgan, formerly of this city, The President
of the bank is Mr.. James Boornan formerly of the
old and prominent house of Boorman g. Johnston
Christopher Robert, of the house of Robert & Will
lias, which has large commercial relations with our
city, John A. Dix John G. Cisco, the United States
Assistant Treasurer. The members of the As3oca.
ton appear to have fixed the duration of the charter
to one hundred years. The following is an extract
from the articles of association or charter:
