There is nothing whatever In the reported move-
ment Ut the Money market to day that calls for
special notice. This having been set apart by the
president as day for national thanksgiving. the
banks, government Offices and some private
establishments kept closed doors throughout,
except for q abort time during the morning. and,
as is not unusualo on such occasions, the telegraph
lines were also permitted to rest, which latter, of
course prevented the receipt Of dispatches from
ell important points. The demand for Gold was
of very restricted character from the opening
to the close Of business, and with but barely
moderate offering supply on hand. operations
have been confined to the appended amounts.
viz $4,000 and $4,000 at 1854. and $4,000 and
$40, 900 at 1856. Sales of Silver comprise $1,000
American halves at 1874. and $1,000 do. at 1881.
We now quote Gold l35lGl353; American Silver
coin l33501l34. and Mexican dollars l37t0l3Sl.
FoREIGN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in Sterling and

throughout for the transaction of general bust
ness. We append full particulars OF actual sales

DOMESTIC ExcHANGE-The movement under the
above heading has been materially curtailed to-
day, owing to the fact that the banks kept closed
doors from an early hour in the forenoon. Offer
ings of commercial sight and short sight were
ample throughout, while the demand for either
could not have been correctly reported at any
time az much better than nominal. The following
are the only actual purchases for the day that
have come to our notice in an authentic form,
viz: $40 900, $40 900, $40 900. $50, 5000 and $780,
OoO New York Commercial sight at b cent. dis
count. We still quote u cent. discount at bank
at }17-l6 u cent discount out of doors for sight
checks on the Northern cities. aal
UNCURRENT NoTEs AND SEcURITIEs-The par
tial suspension of business on account of Thanks
giving was perhaps more generally observed in
The uncurrent note and security market than any
other to-day. Offerings were light from the open
ing to the close OF business, and the inquiry dis
closed a very marked reduction In the usual aver
age number of purchasers. In fact the only &C
tual sales reported are confined In the subjoined
brief statement viz: $1,000 city notes at &c.,,
$1,000 do. at 325c., and $4,000 do. at 32lc., and
$4,000 do. at 32a y cent discount, sl5,000 Louis
