FOREIGN ExCHASGE-There is no material alter
alton of any kind to report in the movement under
the above heading. Offerings OF commercial
Sterling and Francs still continue but little better
than nominal, while the remittance inquiry indi-
Gates a steady abatement, and rates are firmly up
held owing TO the stringency OF Gold and Ex-
change quotations in the New York market. Inc
