FOREIGN EXCHANGE-There is no increase what.
ever 10 notice IN offerings of Commercial Sterling
and Francs, and the remittance demand still con.
tinues exceedingly restricted. Asking figures
tend upward, however. on account of the strin.
gency in Gold and foreign bills at the North aud
the following, which include the total transactions
for the day, exhibit unusual 6rnness all around,
viz $4,000 Bill Of Lsding Bills 1884, and f2OOO do.

gold. We still quote Bank Sterling 1856, Clear

DOMESTIC ExcHANGE-we are still unable TO
refer 10 any quotsble alteration in rates of Do
nestle Exchange. Offerings of commercial sight
and short sight cannot be regarded as much bet
ter than nominal and the inquiry upon the part
OF Temitters disclOses general aud marked
abatement. The following are the only actual
sales reported since our last viz: $4,000 New
York commercial sight at par 5000, $50 900 and

UECURREST NOTEs AND SECURITIEs-City notes
still hang fire. Holders have awaited some i'm
provement for the past several days on account
OF the change in the municipal boards, but they
are evidently becoming very FESTIVE, and should
no psnaces be soon presented, it is not improbs-
BILE that the market will once more be flooded
with corporation shinplasters and prices recede
tO their former nominal figures. Louisiana State
notes are slowly gaining in public favor, but
Bank OF Louisiana notes continue neglected aud
operations 10 most classes of Stocks and Bonds
are still uniformly suspended. Transactions were
as follows: $1,000 city notes at 354 q cent. dis
count, $1,000 do. at 353 u cent. discount, and 1000
shares jackson Railroad stock at IS Is AZ share.
