market has been constant irregularity throughout
the week. The supply on hand was limited from
the opening to the close, and the demand was OF
perhaps more generally restricted cnarscter
than for any previous week Of the season. Rates,
although unsettled have indicated no especially
heavy alteration at suy time, however. The
movement In silver has been almost exclusively
confined to drblets, owing to the limited casrac-
ter of the offerings and the few small lots thrown
upon the market from day to day nave been
readily absorbed at 6(19 points below Gold rates
for American halves and quarters, and ZOOS q

| DOMESTIC HANGE-There is scarcely rip
| pie to notice in the movement under the above
heading since the date of our last weekly review,
the 2lsi instant. The supply Of commerciai sight
| and short sight has been at no time better than
moderate, while the inquiry on the part of remit
tiers uniformly indicated holding back Tor lower
