FOREIGN EXOHANGE-The movement in Sterling
SAD Francs is still light and with some increase Of
.nsrpg5 accruing from shipments of cotton to
Europe on planters account, rates rather un-
steady with perhaps slight downward tendency.
The frmuess Of rates at New York tends to check
any declining movement, however, and rates may
be generally reported as at the close of the pre-
yious review OF the market. Operations since our
lasHhave been confined to Gl5OO sterling clear bills
at 1853; ElsOO and &25OO do. at 1897 $4,000 sold for

DOMESTIC EyCHAEGE-There is no quotable
alteration Of any kind to refer to in the move
mant in Domestic Exchange. Offerings Of com
mercal exhibit no increase whatever, and the de-
mand is still OF q very restricted character at
bauk for direct remittance purposes. The pur
ch4ses by banks and bankers to-day have been
restricted to 5000, $40 0G0, $4,000 and $4,000
New York sight at 4 u cent discount, and some

II EVENING SESSION
II New YORK MARKETS. Commercial Adver-
tiser of the 22d, says:
The plethora of money continues and the de-
3srand quite moderate, owing to the dullness in
.a4ttnate trade and the falling off in the specua
i've feeling at the Stock Exchange. Call loans
done at 4Ig5 % cent. on governments and stock
3oliaterals, and prime business paper passes at
y 5bM7 u cent.
The government is disbursing national bank
notes freely and there is perfect glut of this
nrr~p ia mad pra ypnE Will nylt int
est the borrower returning legal tenders or cert
fed checks; while for longer time it can be had
I for u cent.
The America, to-day, took out 5000, 900, and the
Teut0na Sl3j, 900, making total for the day of
1886 600. The arrival of the California steamer
Fitb 2,2G4,QOO is noticeable event. from the
act that the amount is the largest received by any
ngle steamer for O very long time past. The
hipment of bar gold and Silver to Europe would
ave been larger had the California packetarrived
esterday.
Y There was nothing done in Exchange after the
osiug Of the European mail, and the market is
ltirely nominal at our last quotations
The Gold market was weaker under the Euro
can news but the decline in the premium was
a vt very marked. The price has ranged from l48
4i43} during the morning.
The government list was tirmer and a little more
ctye on the iiYe-twenties of BlS62, but otherwise
he market was quiet and fraction lower. 1881
