Monday Evening Feb s. 1883 }
The most noticeable alteration in the movement
in financial circles to-day has been marked adj
vance in rates Of Gold and Foreign Exchange, in
huenced exclusively by the very rapid upward
tendency of prices in the New York market. The
Offering supply OF cash Gold has been Of a very
restricted character throughout the day, and with
only very limited demand at any time noticeable,
operations have been confined TO the appended
amounts, viz: 5000 at 1924; $4,000 aud $500 At
1884 $4,000 at l394Ql39l and $1,000 and So, 900
Ct 1884, Sales Of Silver comprised $3.50 Ameri-
can halves at l3l4@l32 and 1000 Mexican dollars
ct l43. We now quote Gold at l3ysGl4Os Ameri
can Silver coin at l3l@l32, and Mexican dollars
at l42Ql43,
l0kElGH EXCHANGE Owing TO the heavy ad
vance In Gold 20 day rates Of Sterling and Francs
have been still further enhanced The Offering
supply has been much smaller than heretofore,
however, and the general inquiry has been con-
fined TO on unusually limited number Of buyers, as
will be seen by the suhjoined statement Of the
total actual sales, viz: $500 clear Sterling sight
