FIN4NmAB AND COMMERCIAL sU7tMARY-
The Goll market has been. considerably ex-
ereised since eur last by adFiees from New
York, but the movement, though very heavy,
especially out of doors, has disclosed no
marked alteration IN rates, and the market
closed quiet last evening at $50 to 1503,
against 15Iasto 152 on Saturday evening. No
heavy sales could have been effected at cur
quotations however, after the receipt of tele-
grams, ,qasting the rate at New York this
evening at 1861,
Foreign Egchcuge- The tendency of rates Of
Sterling and francs is steadily downward,
but the movement IS Of too restricted char
acter to justify any material alteration Of quo
tations, and the sales yesterday were con
fined to few small bills, the market closing
1anguid 1t 81 66 to I67 for bank sterling, 157 to
159 for clear bills, S35f to S30f for bank
francs and 3. 45f to s 40f for outdoor francs.
Domestic EnshGnge- There is no uuotable
variation Of any kind to refer to in the move.
ment under this heading. Offerings of com
mercial are still but little better than nominal
while the demand for remittance purposes is
moderately active all round. Rates rule as
heretofore, and We therefore repeat 49 cent.
premium az bank, and bG18 u cent premium
out Of doors, for sight checks on the Northern
cities
BnearTe1f Notes aid Securities. The move
ment in Uneuuent Notes upon the street has
been wholly suspended since our last, and the
only sale-of stocks That has been reported in
an authentic form, was one Of no especial mag
nitude, at full previous figures. The move
ment The Brokers Board though not heavy,
included sales Of several securities, as viii be
seen onIeference to our financial article
Cotton The market was languid in the early
part Of fhe day, under adviees from Europe to
the 21st ult., announcing decline in the Iiiiy-
erpool market. Alta later hour advices to the
close Of ahe 25d ult. came to hand, which ex-
hibited very marked reaction, however. and
createdia better feeling in this market. The
sales forithe day have been restricted to 400
bales, and the market closed unsettled al
prices too irregular to obtain reliable quota
tons ;Rarties who have boasted Of their p1lr-
chases torsome days past predicated on a long
German war, appear to have forgotten how |
ever that azseetional war had but lust been in
augurated on the other side, and that business
matters under such circumstances generally
assume a,mona tangible shape after the pre-
liminaries Of war Or peace have been fully
resolved. On the receipt Of adRiees to
the eFeningof the 23d ult., intimating re-
coyery Of part of the. he.prayious loss in prices
of cotton the spectators for a fall copId
not be found in the market, however. The
troubles in the German States may retard
operations ia. the manufacturing interests to
the extent Of their limits, but the principaI
manufacturing nations Of Europe are not IN
YolYed inthe present struggle, and as they
have not only to meet their own actual de-
mand, but further, to elothe the belligerent
armies, the war can hardly affect our market
to any serious extent however long the diff
culties may be pfotTacted Sales yesterday
previous to the receipt Of the latest foreign
news, amounted to only 40O bales, at nominal
quotations, and ne transactions have since
been reported
