Wednesday, Evening, Sept 3, 1906.
The Gold market has fiuctuated considerably to-
dsy under advices from New York, but itclosed
nevertheless at about the opening prices The
supply of cash Gold was only moderate through
ont. and as the demand has been ct no time active,
The sales have been restricted to the lsubjoined
amounts, viz: $4,000 small Gold at l443 $4,000 and
$1,000 large do. at The same figure; $4,000, S2ooe
s5ooo $1,000, $4,000 and $4,000 at MS; $500 and
$4,000 at l452; $4,000 al l45s, and 1000 Mexican
dollars at 14as, on Custom House valuation. In
Silver, theonly actual transaction of to-day that
could be verified, was 1000 Mexican dollars at
IA. We quote this evening 144a@145 for Gold,
1874 to 1876 for American Silver coin; and 145@l4e
for Mexican dollars. Interested parties would.
| have US advance our figures indefinitely, but we
generally act upon our own Judgment in such
matters.
FoRE1aH ExcHANeE-The tendency Of Foreign
| bills is still downward. Offerings indicate but
lttle, if any, increase, while the demand is re-
| stricted and cannotbe regarded as much better
4 than nominal Sales to-day have been limited to
$4,000 at 149, $4,000 and $4,000 at 1494, $1,000 at
1 1850, and $4,000 sold by a bank at 1881 In Francs
sales were of such trifing character that we do
| not deem them worthy Of special notice, and
4 would, therefore, repeat yesterdays figures as
still embracing the ruling quotations of the day,
viz: I52@152 for Bank Sterling clear bills 1850
1850; Bank Francs 3.70f. @3.65f,, and outdoor
Francs s.sof, @S..75f.
4 DOMESTIC EXCHANGE There is no alteration
whatever to refer to under this heading. Out
Il door offerings cannot be regarded as exhibiting
any increase whatever, and the demand at bank
and banking counters is still of an exceedingly
stricted character The only outdoor sales of
which we have been advised to-day were $4,000,
$l5 900 and $40 900 New York sight at u CT dis
count $4,000 do. at % ct. discount and $35, 600
do. at 3-16 % ct. discount
Il UNcuBRENT Norris AND SECURITIES move
ment in all descriptions of Notes and Securities
Il has been so nearly suspended to-day that we do
not deem the few insignificant operations re-
/ ported as worthy Especial notice. In fact, the
market is entirely bare Of the better classes of the
latter and all other descriptions are entirely over
| looked Hsg f
BOARD OF BBoKERs.-Most of the members of
this board are still absent from the city, and their
| operations are, therefore, Of very restricted
character The only sales that transpired to-day
were $1,000 Bank of Louisiana at 68, 100 shares of
| 0pelousas Railroad stock at So.
