The movement in financial circles to-day has
disclosed no variation Of any kind that calls for
special notice. Gold opened at New York this
morning at 1884, against 1881, the closing rate
Saturday and 81 IL N. II was quoted at the latter
figure. The supply and demand ia this market
have been Of but barely moderate character

l36. and Mexican dollars at l420l43.
FOREIGN ExcHANGE-The supply of Sterling
and Francs has Indicated some increase to-day,
but the offerings, nevertheless. have been dis
proportionate TO recently reported sales of Cot
ton. which would seem TO confirm . very gen.
ment in the staple is more on local speculation
than foreign account. The demand for choice
bills is moderate, and rates Of edged offerings
are fully maintained. We subjoin particulars Of

UNcURRENT NoTEs AND SEcURrrIEs--Insctivity
