FOREIGN EXCHASGE-The downward tendency
of Gold and Exchange at the North together with
an increase in the offerings of foreign bills here,
mad depressing effect upon the market to-day,
and the sales have been unusually light at gen

were out of the market as buyers, and, as a
general rule, private purchasers also stood off
throughout. The result, of course, was
very light operations, and the following
embrace the only sales that have come
to our notice in an authentic FORM viz: $4,000 bill
of lading bills at 1851; $3.50 fl500 and GG0O clear
