The movement in the money market to-day has
presented nothing for special remark. Gold
opened at New York this morning at 1895 against
l39l, the closing rate yesterday. At III A. NJ. and
II NJ. il was quoted at the former figures, aud at
3 P. NJ. it closed at =. Rates in this market
have been rather steady throughout, and with
only limited supply and demand operations have
been restricted to the appended amounts. viz:
$4,000 Gold 10 the morning at 14Os, SIS 900 do at
l404, $4,000 subsequently at l40t, and $1,000 do at
140. Sales of Silver have been confined TO drb-
let's, and we now quote Gold l39i0l4O4, American
Silver coin l354@l369, and Mexican dollars at
142A@l43.
FOREIGN ExCHANGE.-Sterling and Francs are
still firmly held. Recent sales of Cotton have
added but little to the supply Of commercial bills
and the demand, though restricted. still appears
TO absorb the daily offerings. We subjoin the
principal operations to-day, as follows, viz $1,000
and $1,000 bill of ladiDg bills at 1853, 10000 AL
commercial Francs at 366H.
DOMESTIC ExcHANGE-Holders and drawers Of
Domestic manifest disposition 10 reduce rul-
ing quotations. Offerings of commercial sight
and short sight are quite limited even for this ad
vanced period of the business season, while the
INQUIRY on the part of remitters cannot be re-
garded as better than moderate. The annexed
statement embraces the total purchases by banks
and bankers since our last, viz sl3,500 New
York commercial sight at D cent. premium
SOS. 900 do. at SIG q cent. premnm $1,000 do. at
~ cent. premium, and $40, 900 bank do. at 7-l6
- cent. premium. We still quote D cent prem.
ium az bank and lD2 u cent. premium out Of
doors for sight checks on Northern cities.
UHCURRKNT NOIEs AND SECURITIEs.-Despite
the announcement of the destruction and con-
templsted destruction Of large amounts OF city
notes rates of all denominations Of the currency
continue in favor OF buyers. The market is still
amply supplied and the demand rules about tho
the same as for several weeks past. LOlisfana
State and Bank Of Louisiana notes exhibit no
symptoms Of recuperation, and there is scarcely
any movement noticeable In the general run of
Stocks and Bonds. The triiing sales reported to-
day will be found depicted below, viz 5000 city
notes at 37l u cent discount, and $500 do. at 374
% cent. discount.
