The Geld market opened weak this morning,
but soon rallied under advices by telegraph of an
advance of nearly U cent. in rates at New

cradle firmness and sales were effected as high as
1861, OF at 4 U cent. advance on yesterdays
closing figures, but without any reaction having
been announced in the New York market during
the day, prices again fell off here, ana az the

FoREIGN ExcHANGE-In Increasing lassitude is the
most prominent feature of the movement in
both Sterling and Francs. The market is fairly,
though not heavily supplied with outdoor bills,
while the demand cannot be regarded as much
better than nominal and the purchases appear
u be confined to few parties, who can almost
dictate their own terms. The only actual sales
that have come to our knowledge to-day were
$4,000 clear Sterling at 1924, 100000 bankers
Francs at 1880, and 100000 compercial do at
f3.65. The ruling figures this evening are 1850
I5s for Bank Sterling, l52A@l5sA for Clear Bills,
f.3.6Omf.355 for Bank Francs, and f.S.70@f.565
for outdoor Francs.
DoMEsrIc EXCHANGE Thefe is no alteration of
any kind to report under this heading to-day. Of

remittance purposes is less active than heretofore.
