Friday Evening Oct. 8. 1866
The most prominent feature in the financial
movement in this market to-day has been an ad-
vance in rates of Cold slight depression in those
of Foreign Bills, and moderate stiffening in quo
tations of Domestic Exchange. The Gold market
opened quiet at yesterdays closing figures, but it
soon rallied under this mornings advces from
New York of advanced rates, and as the latter
reiterated at several intervals during the day.
holders realized an improvement of fully 3@l y
cent. on previous quotations. The demand was
also better, and sales of the subjoined amounts
were effected before the close Of business, viz I:
$3OO0 in the morning, at 1857 $40, 900 at 1463 +;
$1,000 and $1,000 at 146}; $4,000 at 1465; $4,000
and $500 at l47; $4,000, $70O0 $500, $4,000

in two equal lots, towards the close of business,
at l473. No sales of any magnitude have trans
PRED in Silver, and we now quote Gold at l47@
l47t, American Silver coin at 13630l373, and
Mexican dollars at l47@148.
/ FOREIGN ExCHANGE-The offerings of Sterling
and Francs have been very light to-day, whilst the
demand for them was, at no time much better
than nominal, and rates were weaker in accord
ance with the downward movement of the New
York market, where decline was fully established
in face of an advance in the rates of gold despite
the heavy arrival of the latter by the Liverpool
steamer. The only actual sales that have come to
our notice were 81300 clear sterling at 1861, fl20O
and 915O0 do. at 1877 IS 0OOf bank francs at 3.55f
and S0,000f. private do. at 800. The ruling quo
tations this evening are 159@1GO for bank sterling
(nominaI 156@157 for clear bills, 153@154 for
bill Of lading bills 355@3.5Of. for bank francs and
365@360 for outdoor francs.
DOMESTIC ExoHANGE--There has been some
evidence of reaction in the Domestic Exchange
market to-day, and while offerings exhibited
very marked dininution, the rates for outdoor
supplies were decidedly sitter than for some days
past. We annex the whole of the purchases by
banks and bankers that have been reported to us
in an authentic form, viz 100000, bank check
in the morning, at 7-l6 % cent. discount; $4,000
private at 9.lG % cent. discount, and $4,000 and
$25 900 at % cent. discount for New York sight;
and $4,000 thirty days sight at II % cent. dis
count. Quotations are nominally unchanged, and
we therefore repeat as follows, viz: New York
sight 4@5 u cent. discount at bank, and 39S D
cent. discount in the outdoor market.
