Thursday Evening. July l6. 1858 !
There is nothing new to refer to in the move
ment of the money market. Gold opened at New
York this morning at l424 against 1879 the clos.
ing rate yesterday. At 1890 A. VI. it was quoted
at the latter figure. At IL NJ. il ruled at 1924 and
at P. NJ. it closed at l42l. Our market is very
stiff, but with limited supply and demand, ope-
rations still continue of q restricted character.
We append particulars of actual sales as follows,
viz $1,000 Gold at l4l1, SO 900 and $1,000 do. at
l4ls, and 5000 do. at l4l@. Sales of Silver have
been confined to driblets, and We now quote Gold
l4l4@l42, American Silver Coin l369l3G4, and
Mexican Dollars l459@l46.
FOREIGN ExCHANGE-The tendency of rates of
Sterling and Francs is still in favor of drawers and
sellers, owing TO the high ruling figures for Gold
and Foreign Bills at New York. As the supply of
Commercial offerings is almost wholly exhausted,
however, the remittance demand, which is of a
very restricted character, is almost exclusively
confined TO the banks. The total actual sales
since our last included only the subioined
amounts, viz: $1,000 Bank Sterling at 1874 $4,000
Bankers Sterling at 1854, $500 Al Commercial do.
at 1856, fl0OO do. at 1857, l5,OOOf. and 100000
Bank Francs at 3.60f. We now quote Bank Ster-
ling l57@l579, Clear Bills l56@l56k. Bill of
Lading Bills l543@l5S4, Bank Francs 3.60f., and
Commercial do. 3.G74G3,62a.
