for Mexican dollars.
FoRgIeE EXCHANGE There is no alteration Of
any kind toreport in the sales of Sterling and
5rsncs. The market is but poorly supplied and

very unfavorabIe CRITICISM on the street, upon the
management of the company, some even gong so
FAR as to doubt that the cable 10 any sense the
great success which its friends claim It 70 be- Ii
Is simply monstrous, that when events OF such i'm
suense importance TO the whole world are trans
piring in Germany, We should not have one word
Of definite intelligence about them. Such man
agement to say the least, betrays great lack OF
business capacity somewhere.
Money il very abundant The general rate with
the banks is % cent; but heavy sums are
loaned at D cent. Discounts are quiet at 5065
q cent.
Foreign exchange is nominal at 1074@l0s for
sixty days bankers sterling, and 5.25@5. 224 for
long francs.
Gold is weaker, apparently, as the result of the
esble intelligence alluded to above, and from an
expectation entertained in some quarters that the
secretary viii BE- prevailed upon TO sell part OF
the surplus gold in the treasury,
