against l474. the closing rate Saturday. At 1880
A. NJ. II was quoted at l47; at P. NJ. IL stood at

5000 and $4,000 do. at l47 and $4,000 do at l47l
Sales Of Silver comprise 1000 American Halves at
l36, and we now quote Gold l464Gl463, American
Silver Coin at lS61@I37 and Mexican Dollars

FOREIGN Reconsideration of Sterling and
Francs have been affected by the sudden sltera
ton in Gold rates, but not to the same extent as
the latter. There was scarcely any Commercial
upon the market to-day. and the remittance de.
uand was of very limited character throughout.
The suojoiDed statement comprises the total ope-
rstions since our last, viz $500 AL Sterling at
l6l. The market this evening is too unsettled to
admit of reliable quotations, and We therefore
emit them. -. 20
