The heavy decline in Gold is the prominent fea
ture in financial movements to-day. The collapse
in the New York market has infected ours, and it
has been almost impossible to effect ready sales
here to-day upon almost any terms. It's perhaps
fortunate, however, that the supply of cash Cod
is not excessive just now, and to this fact, more
than to any other, may be attributed the very
limited character of the offerings to-day. The
only sales that have been reported to us in an
authentic form since our last have been $4,000 and
$4,000 at l42!; $1,000, $4,000 and $4,000 at 1929
Sales of Silver have comprised no round amounts
of either foreign or domestic, and we now quote
Gold at l424@l424, against l434@l432 last night,
and Silver at l3201l33 for American coin, and
l4336ll44 for Mexican dollars.
FOREIGN ExcHANGE-There IS really no altera-
ton of any kind in Sterling or Francs that is
worthy Especial notice. The supply of Foreign
bills upon the market is exceedingly restricted,
and the demand for drafts on the other side
has been to-day Of a more restricted charac-
ter than heretofore In fact, the only actual sales
that TRANSFERRED were $4,000 sterling at LOG for
gold, and &2O0O and $4,000 do at Isl for currency.
Sales of Francs have been limited to f2l,OOO,
f.3S,00O and 900 at f.3.723, and 10000,
f.l5 600 and 10000 bank atf365. We still quote
bank Sterling at l53@l54; clear bills at l5OGDl52
bill of ladng bills at l47@l40 bank Francs at
f,3673@i3,65, and outdoor Francs at f.3.774@
f.372b.
DOMESTIC ExCHANGE.-The tendency of the
movement under this heading is still steadily IN
favor of buyers. As minated in previous arti-
tices, the recent heavy sales of cotton for the
Northern and Eastern markets have materially
augmented the outdoor offerings, but neyerthe
less the supply is not equal to the demand, and
while rates have been somewhat reduced to-day
owing to the pressure referred To- the decline i
not yet sufficient to induce heavy remittances
We subjoin the purchases by banks and bankers
viz: In tue morning, $4,000 and $l7 900 New
York sight, at par; $4,000 and $50 900
New York do. at q cent. cent discount
100000 Boston sdo. at 3 u cent discount
and $4,000 Philadelphia do. at ten days
at q cent. discount. We now quote New fork
sight at par 70 y cent. discount at bank and "a
i N cent. discount 10 the outdoor market Trans
actions in short sight and in time drafts are stu
TOO light to establish quotations. :"

ment in the former today has been restricted tc
