ing rate Yesterday. at II NJ. it stood at l34S and

FOREIGN FxcHAEGE-The depression in gold
and foreign bills at New York has tended to re:
duce quotations Of sterling and francs to still
lower figures. As offerings OF commercial con.
tinue very light, however, owing TO the partial
suspension of cotton purchases for european mar
kets, there s no disposition to press sales, put inc
demand also is restricted and transactions cannot
be regarded as much better than nominal. we
