FoREIGN EXCHANGE The very heavy advance
in Gold to-day has impaired unusual strength u
Sterling and Francs, which caused the latter to
be held at such extreme figures that most buyers
Wiihdrew from the market at An early hour. The
Offering supply has been heavy throughout, and
the aggregate sales have been limited TO the an-
neXed amounts, viz: $4,000 commercial az lj4] 10

DOMESTIC ExCHANGE-Increasing weakness il
the only noticeable feature under the above heal
ing. Owing TO recent heavy Purchases of Cotton
have been very materially increased, while the
remittance demand has continued restricted, and
in fact, has disclosed decided abatement. rue
total purchases by bank and bankers to-day have
been limited 10 the subiOned amounts. viz: sjD,-
OtO bankers New YOsk sightat ~ cent. disc .llt;
