Thursday Evening, Sept 90 1866.
The movement in financial circles to-day has
disclosed no variation of any kind that calls fol
special notice. Gold ruled throughout at abou
yesterdays figures, despite adyices Of down
ward movement in prices at New York, but this
was doubtless due to the reduced character of the
supply of cash Gold upon the market. At the
same time the demand was quite limited frem the
opening to the close of business, as may be
readily inferred from the falling off in the aggre
gate sales, which can be ascertained by footing
up the following amounts, as they comprise the
whole of the days operations, viz: $4,000 at
l445 $1,000, $4,000, $1,000, $4,000 and $l5, 900 at
1444, and $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000 at 145. Sales
of Silver comprised some trifing lots of Ameri'
can and Mexican coin at previous figures, and the
market closed fiat at l444@l45 for Gold 134@l35
for American Silver coin, and 145@1453 for Next
can dollars.
FOREIGN ExcHANGE.-There is slight but not
quotable improvement in Sterling and Francs,
which, however, in view of the very restricted
movement in cotton and other leading Southern
products on foreign account, may indicate that,
with an even ordinary demand, it would soon lead
to higher quotations. The inquiry is still of a
very restricted character, however, and previous
join the operations as they have been reliably re-
ported to US, viz: $4,000 bill of lading bills at l49,
$3.50 clear at 1904, $3.50 and $4,000 do. at ISL and
$780, $4,000 and $500 Al, private, at lj2. Sales of
francs have been confined to 50O0Of. and G5 OO0f.
at 3729f. and l00,000f. at 3.734f. for commercial
bills. There is no alteration whatever to note in
quotations, and we therefore repeat yesterdays
figures, as follows, viz: Bank Sterling at 1530l54
Lee 4 . IL 1
@l49 Bank Francs at 3.67a9S.65, and outdoor
Francs at3.773@3
DOMESTIC ExcHANGE.-The recent heavy sales
of cotton in this market for the North and East
begin to affect rates Of Domestic Exchange, and
all of the banks have freely checked on New York
to-day at y cent. prem. The demand for remit
lance purposes continues exceedingly light how
ever, and offerings of private and commercial have
not yet disclosed more than partial increase,
while it should be observed, nevertheless, that
large accessions from this source daily looked
for with undated confidence, which, of course,
is the cause of the bank checking having been
relaxed. The only outdoor purchases that have
come under our notice to-day were $4,000, $40,-
900 and $65,000 New York sight at par, SIS 900
fifteen days sight at T59 cent dis, and $4,000
sixty days sight at II y cent. dis. The ruling
quotations this evening are par3l y cent prem.
at bank and / % cent. dis to par in the outdoor
market for sight checks on the Northern cities.
The movement in short sight and in time drafts is
still Of too restricted character to establish re-
lioble quotations for these classes.
UNCURRENT NoTEs AND SECURITIES Trans
actions in the former to day have been confined to
a few lots of State and city notes, including $1,000
of the latter at 99I; while operations in stocks
have again been heavy, especially in one descrp-
ton, as will be seen by the following, viz: 3, 8
and II shares City Railroad stock at prices that
have been withheld 275 shares Bank of Louisiana
do. in three lots, at II; 100 do. on private terms
and 1916 shares Of Bank Of New Orleans stock, in
several lots, at 4Ol, 403 and 400 We would re-
mark that the latter include $50 shares bought on
the 18th, and reported by us in yesterday paper
which with several lots previously purchased,
were all resold to-day.
BOARD OF BROKERS The movement at the
board to-day was of a rather restricted character,
and the only transactions that we have found re-
corded on their exhibit, were IL shares Canal
Bank stock at GO; $1,000 Cold at l448; $4,000 Gold
at l44{, and $4,000 Gold at l443.
