Wednesday Evening" July /. 1853.
There is no Improvement to notice 10 the
money market. Gold opened at New York this
morning at l404, against l40i, the closing figure
yesterday. At IL A. NJ. and IL NJ II still ruled al
the opening figure and at P. NJ. it closed at 1895.
Rates in this market have undergone no altera.
ton whatever since our last, and the appended
statement of actual sales indicates very limited
inquiry throughout, viz $1,000, 5000 and $4,000
Gold at 1884, and $1,000 and SIC, 900 at l39}. Sales
of Silver have been confined to driblets, and we
now quote Gold at l3946l39l American Silver
coin at l35@l35a, and Mexican dollars at IA
@lA4.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE Sterling and Francs rule
IS for several days past. The offering supply OF
foreign commercial bills cannot be regarded as
much better than nominal, while the remittance
demand continues almost wholly suspended. The
stringency of Gold and Sterling quotations still
tend TO keep rates in the ascendant, however aud
the appended sales which were effected to-day,
disclose no reduction of any kind on previous
ruling figures: $4,000 Al commercial Sterling at
1884 snd Is, OO0f. AL commercial Francs
at 1854. We now quote Bank Sterling
at l544@l65 Clear Bills at l534@l54. Bill OF
LadiDe Bills at 1853, Bank Francs S.66493.65f.,
and Commercial do. az 3.70@36S4.
DOMESTIC ExoHANGE-The movement under the
above heading exhibits dull and dropping mar
ket. Offerings of commercial sight aA1 short
sight are almost wholly exhausted, while the
inquiry on the part of RENTERS cannot be
reported as much better than nominal, and rates
still incline in favor Of buyers. The Following
statement embraces the total purchases by banks
and bankers since our last, viz: $1,000 and SlO,-
600 New York commercial sight At par, Sl0,OOO
do at 4 u cent. premium, $40 900 bankers DO. al

MUM. and $4,000 do. on st. Louis at ~ cent.
discount. We now quote - cent premium az
bank, and parIt premium out OF doors, Tor slgnt
checks on Northern cities.
TNcuRREKT NOTES AND SECURITIBs-Ihere IS
scarcely any movement noticeable In the general
rnn Of 6ecurities and most classes of Uncurreut
Notes still continue dull and dropping. Few
fayorite Securities attract attention, but they are
in such limited supply and are held at such
stringent figures, that most buyers seem unWil-
ling TO purchase. Prices have undergone no
change whatever since our last, and the total
actual sales have been confined to the annexed
amounts, viz: $4,000 city notes at 81 y cent. dis
count $4,000 at S74 q cent. discount $4,000 Lousi-
ana State notes at $50, $4,000 and $4,000 do at
60, and and 80 levee bonds at 52a Il dollar.
