Thursday Evening. July Is. 1858. !
There is nothing new to refer to in the move
ment of the money market. Gold opened at New
York this morning at l424 against 1879 the clos
ing rate yesterday. At 1880 A. II. il was quoted
at the latter figure. At IL NJ it ruled at l42t, and
at P. NJ. II closed at l424. Our market is very
stiff, but with limited supply and demand, ope-
rations still continue of a restricted character.
We append particulars of actual sales as follows,
viz: $1,000 Gold at l4ll, $4,000 and $4,000 do at
l4lb, and $4,000 do at l4l}. Sales Of Silver have
been confined to driblets, and we now quote Gold
lAl@l42, American Silver Coin l369l3GI, and
Mexican Dollars l455@l46.
FOREIGN ExcHANGE-The tendency of rates of
Sterling and Francs is still in favor of drawers and
sellers, owing TO the high ruling figures for Gold
and Foreign Bills at New York. As the supply of
Commercial offerings is almost wholly exhausted,
however, the remittance demand, which is of
very restricted character, i5 almost exclusively
confined TO the banks. The total actual sales
amounts, viz: $1,000 Bank Sterling at 1873, $4,000
Bankers Sterling at 1854 $500 AL Commercial do.
at 1856, $1,000 do. at 1861, Is, O00f and 100000

ling l57@l57k, Clear Bills l569l564, Bill of
Lading Bills l543@l551, Bank Francs 3.6Of., and
