New Orleans daily crescent., 1866-10-01
MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER /, 1866.
gQev Orleans Sttoneg gtarbet.


Tho roost nrominent feature in the movement in
financial circles to-day has been further advance
of I ID cent in rates of gold and corresponding
improyement in foreign exchange, influenced by
tba inward tendency of the New York market,
and by the falling off in the supply here. Gold
opened at yesterdays closing quotations, but after
few sales had transpired, the first northern tele-
grams came to hand, and rates subsequently
showed steady enhancement, till holders had rea-
lized an advance of fully l f2 cent The demand
throughout was very light, however, as will be
readily inferred on reference being had to the
suboined statement of actual sales, viz $4,000 at
l43, $4,000 at l43i, $4,000 at 143S, $4,000 at l434,
$1,000 and $4,000 at 1433, $4,000 at 144 and SO 0OO
SIS 900 and $4,000 at the same figure, $4,000 at
l444, $4,000 at l443, and $4,000 at 1442. Sales
Of Silver have been restricted to 5000 Mexican
dollars, sold in the morning, at 144I, and we now
quote Gold at 1434@1444, and Silver at 134@136
for American coin, and 144@l45 for Mexican
dollars.
FOREIGN ExcHANGE-The demand for Sterling
and Francs is still of very restricted character,
but owing to the fact that the market is almost
wholly bare of offerings, as no cotton worth nam
ing has beenrecently purchased foreign account,
and operations in most other staple articles have
drawers are enabled to almost dictate their own
terms. Sales are very light, however, and the
only movement that we have been advised of in
an authentic form to-day has been 81000, f2oOo
and $1,000 bank Sterling at 155, and 9500O do, in
one bill, at l56. Sales of Francs comprised only
$4,000 private at 3682, 10000 and $1,000 do at
3.675, and $4,000, equal to bank, at $50. The
quotations at the close of business this evening
were l550l56 for bank Sterling, l520l53 for clear
bills 149@150 for bills of lading bills, 3.623@3.GO
for bank Francs, and 3.7003.G5f for outdoor
Francs.
DOMESTIC ExcHASGE-There is marked in
crease noticeable in the supply of Domestic Ex.
change, which accrues from recent heavy pur-
chases Of cotton for the Northern and Eastern
markets. and, natural result, rates are easier,
and rapidly tending downward. The demand for
remittance purposes was more active and general
to-day as may be inferred from the fact that one
bank checked for 100000 while all of the others
did very respectable business, and the purchases
by banks and bankers comprised 100000 bank
sight on New York at SIG q cent. discount;
$4,000 private do. at &; $4,000, $4,000 and
$4,000 commercial do. at J; $4,000 fifteen days
do. at q cent. discount; 100000 Boston sixty
days at o. and SIS ,O00 sixty days New York at
q e cent. discount. We still quote e cent. dis
count at bank and 392 % cent discount outof
doors

more general movement to notice pndeT the above
