CoTToN-The demand to-day has been active
and steady throughout. The market was but
poorly supplied, at best, and all offerings at yes
terday's closing quotations were absorbed at an
early hour. The private kilograms received from
New York, at II NJ, created, as they were doubt
less intended to do, a further appreciation in
prices, but the demand exhibited no marked
increase, and sales, which were mostly eff
fected in the morning, footed up 5000 bales
The net receipts for the week have been 4208
bales against 2542 bales last week, and 1923
bales the week before The total sales for the week
aggregate 12,6OO bales, against l0,7O0 bales last
week and $3.50 bales the week before. The eXt
ports for the week amounted to 1903 bales against
1911 bales last week and S506 bales the week be-
fore, and the stock on hand and on shipboard this
evening not cleared is 90,93l bales, against o.
274 bales last week, and 81 551 bales at the close
of the previous week. The exports for the week
have been 1910 bales for New York, 1049 bales for
Boston and 1874 bales for Baltimore. We have to
advance all of our quotations fully lc. 58 tb. this
evening, and at the same time to revive classif-
cation, which has been dormant during the war,
as will be seen by the annexed figures, viz. :

There is but little if any variation to refer to-
dav in the movement in financial circles. The
Gold market has been inactive from the opening
to the close Of business, and transactions in both
foreign and domestic Silver, have been exceed
ingly light. In fact, the only operations of which
we have been credibly advised, were in gold,
$4,000 at 1871, $500, $4,000 and $4,000 at 1923,
$ll 900 at 1423 and $1,000 and $40 900 at 143 Sales
of silver have been very light, and we now quote
gold at l424@l434, and silver at 134@l35 for
American, and 1424@l434 for Mexican Dollars.
FOREIGN ExcHANGE.-The supply of outdoor
Sterling and Francs is nearly exhausted, and even
without the intmation transmitted over the wires
from New York this evening of an advance in
rates atthat market, it is hardly necessary to say
that quotations would have been enhanced in
this market The supply has been of a very re-
stricted character throughout, and the only actual
sales that have come under our notice were $500,
Gl00O, and $4,000 clear Sterling bills at 1919, and
El000 do. at 1872. S1O000f. bankers Francs at
3.65f, and 75,OOOf. and 1lO,OOOf. private do. in
several lots at 3.7Of We quote this evening as
follows, viz bank Sterling l533@154! clear bills
1513@l524; bills of lading bills 14s@l49. Bank
Francs 3,6j@3.623f., and outdoor Francs 3.75f.
@3.723f.
DOMESTIC ExCHANGE-The tendency of the Do
mestic Exchange market is still steadily in favor
of sellers, The supply to-day disclosed very
marked increase, while the demand has been
active and steady from the opening to the close
of business. The purchases by banks and
bankers since our last, comprise $4,000
New York sight by one bank at 3@4 u cent.

New York sight at 3G94 f8 cent discount at bank,
and at 4@3 70 cent. discount in the outdoor
market.
UScURRENT NOTES AND SEcuRITIEs-There has
been some movement in the former to-day, but
the transactions in the latter have been almost
wholly abandoned. The reported sales are $1,000
