4 creasng depression in quotations of Foreign Ex-

yer coin at 1370l39, and Mexican dollars at l469
@l47.
FOREIGN ExCHANGE-The movement in Sterling
and Francs has disclosed increasing weakness to-
day, despite the announcement by telegraph Of
advancing rates at New York; but this is exclu-
svey due to the fact that the latter refer to pur
chases for Gold, while the depreciation in that
metal, as reduced to currency, has operated ad-
Versely to the interest of parties who had to buy
for the latter. The transactions to-day included
only the following, viz: $4,000 Commercial Ster.
