The movement in financial circles to-day has
disclosed no variation of any kind that calls for
special remark. The Gold market opened fiat ut
| yesterday closing figures, and continued langWd
and inactive throughout the day. Owing to some
| unexplained cause, no dispatches had been re-
ceiyed from the North till late in the afternoon,
aud eyreported the New ork market weak and
unsettled at irregular figures. The sales to-day
| have been restricted to the suhioined amounts,
viz 500 500 in six lots at 145 $1,000 and $4,000 at
1445, and $1,000 and $4,000 at l44a. Sales Of Silver
have been confined to $500 American halves and
quarters at 1888, and 2s00 Mexican dollars at -.
| The demand and quotations Of the latter have
/ fallen off both atNew York and in this market.
We continue to quote Goldat 14449l45, and Silver
at 1SS@lS5 for American coin, and l45t@l46 for
Mexican dollars. I a@
FOREIGN EXCHANGE There is no alteration
whatever to refer the moFementin Sterling
or Francs, except, perhaps, q slight inpro yement
inTates, resulting from some cause which nobody
\ appears to be able to designate Offerings of out
door bills are only moderate; and the demand is
still of restricted character as may be inferred
from the annexed report Of The actual sales for
the day viz: $500 in thre8 lots at $50 for clear
Sterling, a4500 and $4,000 at 1906 s500 at 49, and
cluded no heavy amounts of any class, but
100000. strictly Al private brought S.725f The

the former to-day was $4,000 City of New Orleans

Shares City Railroad at price that has been with
held; 23s Shares Louisiana State Bank at 20; $50
