bills continue restricted and rates are lower,
owing to the decline in Gold but as there is
scarcely any commercial on the market, banks
and bankers appear to be exceedingly indisposed
to reduce their asking rates to the extent that
they would alter their purchasing figures under
existing circumstances. The following are the
only actual sales reported to-day, viz: fl60O AL
commercial Sterling at l6l; l0000f. private bank
