Saturday Evening. June 20. 1853
Monotony is still the charsctersuc feature Of
the money market. Gold opened at New York
today at l40l. the closing rate yesterday. AT
lO:45 A. NJ. it was quoted at l40k. At IL NJ. it
ruled at l404, and at P. N. it closed at l404.
There is no alteration whatever TO report in the
movement in this market, and with a limited sup
ply and demand, sales since our last have been
restricted TO the appended amounts, viz $4,000
Gold at l39}, $40 900 do. at 1885,, $40 900 d. at
1891, and $1,000 and $1,000 at l40. Sales OF Silver
comprise $500 American halves at 1851, and we
row quote Gold at l3940l40, American Silver
coin l354@l36, and Mexican dollars I449l444.
FOREIGN ExCHANGE-The movement in sterling
and francs has been Of a very limited character
to-day. Offerings of commercial bills were IN.
usually light and the demand was confined 70 a
few tavorite signatures. Rates continued firm
throughout, however, as will be seen by the an.
nexed statement of actual operations, viz: Sl200
bank sterling at l55, 600 do. at ll04 for gold
25,0O0f. bankers francs at 3.664, 30O00E. Al CON-
mercial do. at 3674 and lOO,0OOf. do. at 3.6S3.
We still quote bank sterling l55, bill of lading
bills l54Gl l549, clear bills l539l534, bank francs
3.66l@3.624 ana commercial do. 3.63i03.67t.
DOMESTIC EXCHANGE-There has been moder-
ate remittance demand noticeable to-day, as is
not unusual for the close of the week, but as the
supply Of commercial sight and short sight was
ample TO meet the requirements, rates continued
to rule as for several days past. We subjOin the
total purchases by banks and bankers. as follows,
VIZ: $40 600 New York commercial sight at par !;
$40 600 DO. at lie u cent. premium and $40 900,
$20,0 900 and 100000 do. at I q cent. We still
quote f8 cent. premium at bank, and parl1A f}
cent. premium out OF doors for sight checks on
Northern cities.
UNcURRENT NoTEs AND SECURITIES
tions under the above heading disclose further
weakness in the issues of the city. Offerings
show very marked increase and the dem and ex-
hibits corresponding abatement. Louisiana
State Notes are firmer, but Bank of Louisiana
Notes are wholly overlooked, and the movement
in the general run of Stocks and Bonds continues
suspended. The following are the only sctnal
operations reported since our last, viz $4,000
and $4,000 City Notes at S74 u cent. discount
$4,000 do. at 37t, $4,000 do. at 3S, and so shares
Union Bank Stock at $50 Il share.
