fhlly 1@l3 cent. since our last owing to the ad
yanced movement in rates at New York yesterday

exhibit no marked increase, and the market close
quiet last evening at 126@126a, against 124@l24
on Tuesday evening.
Foreign Exchange The improvement in til,
price Of Gold here, and private adyices IF an up
ward tendency inrates Of Exchange at New YORK
Impaired increased strength to the movement il
foreign bills yesterday, and moderate amount Of
business TRANSFERRED at an advance Of fully INl5 u
cent. on Tuesday figures Offerings were at no
time heavy, however, and the demand was Of an
unusually restricted character throughout, as most
Of the prominent buyers steadily refused to par.
hcipate in the movement. The ruling figures last
evening were l35t0lS6 for bank Sterling 1881
@ls44 for clear bills; 3la@1s2s for bill Of lading

any kind to notice in Domestic Exchange. Offer

Bank Notes and Securities There has been no
movement Of any magnitude reported under this
head since our last. Offerings Of favorite classes
were very light and the demand ruled throughout
A. for several days past. A few operations were
eected at full prices however, as will be seen on
refereBca'to particulars in our financial article.
Cotton The movement in the leading staple
yesterday exhibited q slight increase upon the
average daily report for some days previous. The
market was very firm from the opening to the
close, and the sales, which summed up 2l5O bales,
disclosed increasing frmness in the latter descrip-
lions, and no quotable reduction in the lower
grades. The ruling figures last evening were the
same 81 for several days past, and we report them
merely for reference, viz ordinary, 30@s2c. 4;
good ordinary, 33@34c.; low middling, 35@D36c.,
and middling 39@40c.
Sugar and Afolasses THE supply and demand
rule as at the close Of our previous review, and
sales continue light at Tuesdays quotations.
Western Produce The only alteration in the
movement under this head is increased firmness in
some descriptions Of Flour, and still further adj
vance Of So. u bushel in the price Of corn. Sales
sf Fioury Corn; Oats, Bran and Hay, have hardly
come up to the previous daily average, and the
market closed unsettled at the prices specified in
our commercial article.
