FOREIGN ExcHAEGE-The movement in Ster:
ling and Francs has been of very restricted
character to-day. The market was put poorly
supplied at best with commercial offerings, ana
the remittance demand was quite limited through
ont Rates were firmly maintained, however, as
will be seen by the subjoined statement OF actual
sales. viz: $500 bank Sterling at l55, and
25 600 private bankers Francs as $751; We repeat
quotations as follows, viz Bank Sterling at l54t9
1855 Clear Bills l53Gl54. Bill of Lading Bills 1919
al53, Bank Francs $780, 03.65f., and Commercial
Francs 3.6sl@3.673f.
DOMESTIC misunderstanding languor is
still the most noticeable feature Of the movement
under the above heading. Offerings OF CONNER
cial sight and short sight indicate no improve
ment whatever, and the inquiry on the part OF re-
mtters discloses q steady abatement. We annex

and bankers, viz 1000, $4,000, Sl2,5OO and
$4,000 New York sight at ! 81 cent. premium
1000 and s22 900 do. at SIG u cent. premium,

UNcuRREEr NOTES AND SECURITIES Nothing
has uanspired since our last TO materially alter
the CONDITION of city notes. Offerings are still
