GOO on Sat nrday.
Foreign Exchange The tendency ofthe move
ment IN s terling and Francs is still unmis-
takably Ia 4 RFor Of buyers and remitters. The
market is b vt moderately supplied with out
door bills, Thile the demand on speculation
and for ren littance purposes is almost ex-
clusively conf ined to very few timid operators

Uacmreat Notes an d Securities There is a
very marked falling o. notioeablein transact
lions in Uncurrent Not es and Securities. Of
feriAgs, since cur last, nave been quite limited
throughout and sales hi we been of a restricted
character, both at the Br okers Board and upon
The street, although sevel aiiots changed hands
at public auction, as will be seen on reference
to our financial article.
Cotton-Th favorable az vices from Europe
by the steamships Hermit N, A1lemania and
City of Paris took buyers al I'd brokers by sur
prise on Saturday, and impa rtad materially IN |
creased strength to. the mark 1t. Sales reached
210o bales for the day, inelu ding one or two
Lists which we're bought aft "a the close, Of
business. The advance on the other side hay-
ing been partially anticipated by factors, we
do not deem it necessary to dter our rates,
however, but wonld remark that prices steadily
tended to the outside figures in Fridays quo
tations, which, with firm closin 8 market are
equivalent to 1e. 7s ID. or more advance all
around, but which af present moe especially
applies to thelatteF grades.
Sugar and MoEasses- There is no movement
worthy Of notice to report IN domestic, and |
operations in foreign show a very marked re-
duetion, In fact, the only hgnsaction worth |
referringsse since our last Was 300 hbds Mus
cayado 8lolasses at SOC. gallon.
Tobacco Buyers and aelle1s of the weed
appear to be still at sea as to prices. Both
parties manifest desire 70 operate, but as
there is wide margin dividing them and /
neither appear disposed to make concessions,
we have to wait stin longer foE heavy opera
lions Negotiations Of considerable dimen-
sions were pending till late hour on Satur-
day but they finally fell through.
Western Produce The supply Of Flour is
nov in excess Of the demand, and as our
chasers ask for a reduction Of rates to which
holders refuse 10 assent, operations exlzihit
very neager aggregate daily sales. Corn is in
more limited offerings, and despite the fact
that the demand discloses no improvement
whatever, prices were further advanced on
Saturday 2lc. p Bushel Oats are dull and
dropping, With very light sales. Bran is
almost wholly neglected, and Hay has under
gone no alteration since the date of our pre-
vious summary.
Provisions The movement in Pork, Bacon,
Lard, etc., has been almost wholly suspended t
since cur last, and, as transactions have been I
exclusively Of retail character we have no /
alteration whatever to refer to in quotations a
