On Change to-day wheat was in good demand for

the market was inactive, The cotton market was
strong and huoyant, and underwent considerable
rise on the publication OF despatch from Washing

from eight or the cotton States show falling or OF
933, 900 acres planted this year as compared with
last. The despatch says, further that this falling

The quotations OF the gold market were precisely
the same as those or Saturday. except that at the
close the best figure OF the day was bid. The clique
operators appear determined to force crisis, and
have withdrawn large sum or gold from the
Clearing House, as shown in the reduced balances
to-day. Cash gold Will doubtless be made quite
scarce, as means to force the covering of the
reputed large short interest existing in the
market Coin for delivery to-day on speculative
contracts was worth consideration ranging as
high as 1-64 of one per cent per day, after earlier
transactions IN which consideration of two per
