Wednesday Evening. July 5. looa ,
There is no alteration whatever to notice 10
the money market. Gold opened at New York
this morning at l4oE, the closing rate yesterday;
Atl0:30t was quoted at l402 aud at Pm IL closed
at l40l Holders in this maket still continue stiff, but
the demand is still restricted, as may be readily
inferred from the appended statement OF actusf
sales, viz: $4,000 Gold at 1891; $1,000, $1,000,
$4,000 and $4,000 do. at l40; $4,000 do. at 400
l40t $4,000, 5000 $1,000 and $4,000 do. at l40l.
Sales Of Silver comprised 1000 Mexican Dollars at
l44t. We now quote Gold at l40@l4Ot, Amerl-
at l440l443.
The Ponlchartrain Railroad Company yesterday
declared semiannual dividend OF q cent?
payable on and after the 10th inst.
FOREIGN ExcHASGE-There is no increase
whatever noticeable in the supply Of commercial
Sterling or Francs. There Is still moderate de-
mand for both on the part OF remitters, how
ever, and rates are generally well maintained,
owing TO the stringency OF Gold and foreign bill
quotations in the New York market. The sub.
Joined statement includes the total operations
since our last, viz: f2500 bank Sterling at 1854;
$4,000 AL commercial do. at l54t; fl5OO do. at
1874; 10, 000f bank sight Francs at $50; l2,OOOf.

quote bank Sterling at l569l55l, clear bills l54

DOMESTIC ExcHASGE-The movement under the
u
and demand, with continued tendency to higher
rates. In the absence of regular purchasers Of
cotton for the North and East the supply Of GEM
mercial sight and short sight has become almost
wholly exhausted. while drawers and holders, as
is not unusual under similar circumstances, ex-
act extreme figures. We append particulars of
the purchases % banks and bankers to-day as
follows, viz: sl2 900, $4,000 and $4,000 New
York commercial sight at % cent premium and
SIS, 900 do. at lie u cent premium. We still
] N a n
~ cent premium out of doors for sight checks on
Northern cities.
UNouRREST NoTEs AND SECURITIES falling
of in rates Of city notes has not yet ceased de-
spite the fact that some satisfactory propositions
for their redemption is likely 10 be soon brought
forward by the present municipal boards. 10 Is
hardly advisable for holders TO sacrifice them at
the present moment Louisiana State notes are
dull 5ut firm Bank Of Louisiana notes continue
wholly neglected, and operations In stocks and
bonds are sill confined TO few fsvorite securi-
ties. The annexed statement embraces the total
actual sales for the day, viz: $4,000 and $4,000 city
