The movement In the money msrxet has dis.
closed no alteration Of any kind to-day. Gold
opened at New York this morning at l46
against i4et, the closing rate yesterday. At 1890
A. NJ. It was quoted at 146i; at IL n. 1t stood at
l45t, and at P. n. IL closed at 1864. Our market
is still inactive and unsettled with actual salss
for the day restricted to the appended amounts.
viz: $4,000 Gold at 1864, $4,000 do. ct last, $40.
600 do. at lac, $4,000 and $4,000 do. at l452 and
$500 do. at 1453. Nothing reported in Silver.

FOREIGN Misunderstanding and Francs con-
time dull and dropping. There is scarcely any
commercial upon the Market and the banks re-
duce their rates very reluctantly. But the remit
lance demand has almost wholly abated, and
transactions since our last have been confined TO
the subjoined amounts, viz f400 bank Sterling
az l6l, $4,000 commercial Francs at 8 $751;, and
5000 do. at s.66N Prices are still too irregn-
lar for reliable quotations, and We therefore
omit them. .- ..l-f .. Il
