further stiffening of rates of Forcian ana
poiheSuc Exchange has been the only noticeable
I ALTERATION in financial movements to-day. Gold
mas oeen inactive throughout. Offerings continued
restricted, and the demand was confined to small
purchases Tor the payment of duties. for which
INC most diminutive coins are as available as the
#largest denominations. The upward tendency Of
Af4Hchange created a more buovant feeline
towards the close of the day, however, and
most holders demanded higher rates. while some
reported sales at advanced figures but the
4eupJohed statement comprises the whole of the
actoal operations for the day, and do not disclose
any quotabe variations on Yesterdays prices. viz
slooo sZooo and $4,000 at 1853; $5O0O $4,000, $4,000
soooo and $4,000 at l26, and SIS 900 reported at
ngure which we do not feel justified in quoting
sales OF Silver, included $4,000 American halves and
quarters, at 1ls0ll9. We still quote Gold at
i2o3Ngl2e, and Silver at lI8@l2o for American
pin' and l255@l263 for Mexican dollars.
M FOREIGN ExCHANGE--The falling off in sales of
; 1otton has impaired increased strength to the
Foreign Exchange market to day, as the impress
sion prevails that the supply will become ex-
aausted should suspension of operations occur
" the leading staple result not at all unlikely in
TACT that most factors realized during the past
week to the extent of their immediate and, in
Fome cases, their prospective pressing obligations
offerings of both Sterling and Francs have been
Fight since our last, and operations included the
fnbjoned actual sales, viz $4,000 and G4000at133a;

DOMESTIC ExoHASdR-The tendency of the
movement in Domestic Exchange to-day has been
uniformly in favor Of holders. The market was
but very poorly supplied at best with offerings of
private and commercial, and the demand for re-
nittance purposes was steady, though not heavy
i active, throughout, over the Bank counters
NE checking figure was uniform at i 49cent pre-
.ium for New York Sight, up to meridian, but
absequently two Of the Banks advanced their
&skng rate to y cent. premium, and we learn
bat the whole Of them intend to exact u cent
remium tomorrow. The limited extent of the
inside offerings may be inferred from the
i'd bankers. viz: $50 900 New York sight at p
vt prem, $4,000 do. at b03.lG U cent. prem,
I'd $4,000 do. in two lots, at 3-l6 u cent. prem.
u ruling figures this evening are, for New York
ght at 483 u cent. prem. at bank, and !0316
GENT. prem. out of doors, five to ten days. sight
94 u cent. discount, fifteen to twenty days ;
ID, thirty days 4G95, and sixty days sight at
OIL ID cent. discount

Ykind to notice under this head. Offerings of {
