The money market continues inactive. Gold
opened st New York this morning at I424. against
14li the closing rate yesterday, and at ii A. NJ,
IL NJ. and at P. NJ. il was quoted at l4lE. The
movement in this market to-day has disclosed but
little II any variation. Offerings Of cash Gold
were light throughout and the demand was re-
sricted from the opening TO the close of business.

FoREIGS EXCHANGE Rates of Sterling and
Francs have again advanced owing to the upward
tendency of Cold The supply of commercial
bills is nearly exhausted, no Wever, and the remit
lance demand, as heretofore, is as heavy as could
be reasonably looked for at this season. Trans
actions to-day included the subJoined amounts,
viz: 600 bank Sterling at ISL, 100000 bank
francs at 3 63i, and 30 900 bankers do. at 1865.

DoMEsrIo EXCHANGE Operations under the
above heading disclose but little alteration. The
market is moderately supplied with commercial
offerings and the inquiry on the part Of remitters
is fair, though not active or general. This pur-
