WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAY %, 1865.
Ecu Orleans JtlOneg gglarRtt,

The Gold market opened quiet this morning, but |
ii soon became active and firm under private ad-
vices from New York, which at an early hour dis
closed an advance Of 3CD4 u cent, in the latter
market, and as the day advanced, exhibited
steady Improvement. Offerings were at no time
heavy and the sales progressed in the ratio OF the
enhanced quotations received from the North AT
the close Of business, however, prices were fully
6GD53 u cent. above the ruling rates of yesterday
while the principal movement was effected at per |
haps general advance of about % cent for
the day. We subjoin the whole of the sctual
sales, so far as they have been satisfactorily au-
thenticated, viz, promising that they are also in
the order in which they have been effected s4o,oOo
at 1871, $1,000 and $4,000 at 1921, $4,000 at 1873,
$25 900 at 1884, $1,000 at 1881, $1,000, $4,000 and
$4,000 at 1885, $1,000 and $4,000 at 1884, $1,000 S4OOO,
$500 and $40 900 at 1344 $4,000, $4,000 and $zooOo
at 1861, and $4,000 at 1861. No sales OF any mag
nitude have transpred in Silver, and we now quote
Gold at 1345@l35, aHd Silver at l2l(9l24 for
American coin, and 135@l36 for Mexican dollars
FoRErgS ExoHANaB-The upward movement in
Gold in this market, and the almost unprecedented
advance in rates of Gold and Exchange at New
Yorl. have had an unexpected effect upon this
market, and we have to report general advance
in rates of Sterling and Francs Of fully GOT u cent
to-day Offerings, however, have been very lght
throughout, aud the demand has been at no time
much better than nominal, as may be readily in
ferred from the subj0ined statement which includes
tbe whole of the actual operations for the day,
viz: $4,000 bill Of lading Sterling bought by
bank at 1871, GlOOO sold by bank in the morning,
in two lots, at l4G3@l473, GlO0O sold by bank
for gold at lO99 10000 Francs at 3.85f., 100000
and SO, 00Of at 3.sOf. and q ,OO0f. at 375f. The
ruling rates this evening are for bank Sterling lf9
also clear bills 1468I48, bill of lading bills
nominal, bank Francs 375f@3723E, and outdoor
Francs 3.85fG13.s0. ...-
