tinues unchanged. Gold opened at New York
this morning at l431 against 1881, the closing
rate Saturday. At 1890 A. M IT was quoted at
143i. At IL NJ it ruled at l49S, and at P. NJ.

respondngly advanced and with q moderate sup

can halves at 1854. We now quote Gold 1870
143i. American halves lS6@l37, Mexican dollars

FOREIGN ExCHANGE-There has been yery little
activity noticeable in either Sterling or Francs
since our last. The market is almost wholly bare
of commercial offerings, and the remittance de-
mand indicates a steady abatement. Rates have
still frrther advanced, however, owing to the
rapid enhancement of Gold quotations at the
North as will be seen by the appended state
ment Of actual sales, viz: f400 bank Sterling at
leo; $500 and $4,000 bankers do. at 1851; f500
Al commercial do. at 1914, and 5,0O0f. aud

3.564f, commercial do. 3.6la@3.5sif.
DOMESTIC ExcHANGs-There is no material
alteration OF any kind to report under the above
heading. Offerings OF commercial sight and
short sight are very light, and the inquiry on the
part of remitters discloses no improvement what
ever. The total purchases by banks and bankers
to-day have been restricted to the subjoined
at % cent. premium, and sl3 900 do. at 5-l6 y
cent. premium. We still quote L cent.
premium at bank, and i9l y cent. premium out
Of doors for sight checks on Northern cities.
UNGURRENT NOTES AND SEcURITIEs-City trea'-
nry notes and Louisiana State notes rule as here
fofore with the exception of slight Improvement
in the latter, while Bank of Louisiana notes are
still wholly neglected, and the movement in the
