opened dull and drooping yesterday Al Saturday g /
atiosis and was further depressed at an early
hold by dispatches quoting heavy decline in the
Nsw york market, Most holders, however, re- I
fund So sell at lower figures whilst few of them
snhmsated IL y marked decline, and sales. though
not heavy, rave unmistakable evidence Of increas-
inc weakness all round. The closing figures were
I35@I351, against @I364 on Saturday evening. |
The movement III silver has been restricted to
drbIeta, and We deem It useless TO attempt to fur
ish correct quotations for either domestic or for
eign coin.
I Foreign Exchange has been very much de-
pressed since our last owing to the latest advices
from New York. Offerings were heavy through
out, whilst the demand was of an unusually re
stricted character from the opening to the close
of business. Sales were Of course light, and we
would quote the closing rates yesterday at 147G1
lzs for bank sterling 145l@l464 for clear bills
sl44@145 for document bills HOS. 83af. for
bank francs, and 3s7s D3 .s0f. for outdoor francs
Domestic Exchange has been rather inactive
since our last. Outdoor offerings were very light
throughout, and the banks checked at the same
irregular figures as for several days past. The
quotations at the close Of business yesterday were
par@A and 4 59 cent. discount at bank, and 4@a
andA % cent. discount out Of doors for sight checks
on the northern cities, and corresponding figures
for short sight and for time drafts.
Bank Notes and Securities have ruled since our
last FOR several days previous. FaYorte classes
we're scarce and in request, whilst the lower
grades, or general run, were in ample supply, but
very much neglected. The movement was CON
fined to sales Of $4,000 Louisiana Bank notes at
55s $1,000 Louisiana. State Bank at 75A and $1,000
do at 100. u dollar, and 1s7 shares Of City Rail
road Company, four lots, at Is1@ ls5, and so do
Bank of America, at l8@1I83
Cbtt0n The market opened with moderate
inquiry ID the part Of purchasers, who wanted to
buy small lots for filing up previous lists. Offering
rates, however, were lower than on Saturday, but
factors would make no concessions, and the
movement for the day, which was restricted to
1904 bales, showed no variation whatever in |
prices The New York adyiees had but little, If
any effect, as the sales for the day had been
efected before they had become generally circu-
lated. Quotations still rule nominay, at 36@39c.
fcs ordinary, 400 lc. for good ordinary, 42@43c
III I'm iddling, and 45@4sc. for middling.
Sugar and Molasses are very firm. Offerings
Of Louisiana continue light, and the sales yester-
day were restricted to 10 hhds. Of the former and
l50.bbls. Of the latter at full previous prices.
Flour and Grain Owing to the scarcity Of the
supply offerings of all descriptions continue light
ut advancing rates. The sales yesterday were
confined to 22OO bbls. flour, 5000 sacks Of corn,
us sacks Of oats and 225 bags Of bran, at the
prices furnished il our commercial article.
THE 81. CHARLEs TrRATER. She stoops to
Conquer, and Toodles, z were played last night
at tho ST. Charles to very crowded house. Miss
Blanche do Bar fully equalled the expectations
hall fnr r. hnr
with The most fattering expressions Of satisfaction
and pleasure. She il very handsome, graceful
and pains taking her acting is easy and sprightly,
reprste with naiuete and disdaining the hackneyed
pose and dramatic start. Miss De Bar is a natural
ana lady-like young actress, and with her advan-
tages of physique and her talents she cannot fail
10 achieve fame and fortune. 5s8sl4
Ben be Bar WAS excruciating as Tony Lunplin
ma 1oodses. The applause which greeted him in
those parts shows that he has lost none Of his mas
tory over the Iudicrous emotions Of the human
breast.
Tonight Miss De Bar appears as Wsdow Cheer.

af this house last night in creditabe style. Lady

prepossesing face and agreeable manner. The
character, however, is not one requiring much
talent, and ii no test Of her abilities. The most
difficult and interesting part in the play, Sir Her
