FOREIGN Offerings of both Sterling
and Francs have been heavier to-day, and rates
have slightly inclined in favor of buyers. The de-
mand was of very restricted character through
out, however, and the following included the
whole of the operations that have been satisfacto-
rly verified for us, viz: $1,000 clear sterling bills

DOMESTIC EXCHAEGE--The tendency in the
movement in the Domestic Exchange market is
steadily in favor Of buyers. Outdoor offerings are
still light, however, but in view of recent pur-
chases of cotton on Northern and Eastern account,
it is well known that large increase in the supply
must be forthcoming at an early day. Rates have
been slightly easier since our last and the sales to
banks and bankers have been limited to s27 900
