in bank and outside. AL commercial pager is
scarce, and being in demand, can easily be
placed at our inside quotations, occasionally even
lower. The movement in Gold and Foreign Ex-

stronger, owing to the improvement in bills al
New York.
With more liberal offerings, commercial sight
on New York was little weaker. The movement
in Stocks was OF fair extent and the market firm,
but without any marked advance. City Bonds

and closed little lower. liberal business was
done in State Consols at rather lower rates, and
the market closed at a decline of fully 70 u cent.
