MOBILE, June 29.

The chief feature on which I have to remark since I last
wrote has been the violent fluctuation in gold. I noticed
in my letter of the 15th June the great export, and the
effect produced, but I have now to record a return to the
wild speculation which occurred during the war. From
the close of the market on the 15th instant, 147 k, gald
rapidly rose, as I predicted, to 170, when it continued to
fluctuate between that and 160, falling suddenly on the
news of the China, and to-day it closes at 150 f, having
fallen during the morning to 147 k.
Government Stocks continue firm, and are favourites
with investors. Little is doing in State Stocks and Rail-
way Mortgages. Bank Shares are good—held firmly, and
only parted with in small lots. The public, however, do
not operate in Railway Shares, which aro consequently
dull. After the call lower prices were accepted for Erie,
which continues to be a leading favourite with specula-
tors, and is scarce for delivery, from large over sales. No
improvement is reported as shown by the traffic on the
line, and all the money recently engaged will be wanted
to meet engagements, having precedence of what aro called
" dividends" by the manager.

Money is vstud short loans aro supplied at 5
per Cont. onoerriina easy,
rycollaterals, and loans upon Govern-
ment Securities aro made at 6 per cent. There is no
change in commercial paper ; best short bills aro quoted at

The Chicago Tribune, of Wednesday, says :—The money
market to-day was less active, and there was an easier
feeling prevalent in financial circles. There was a fair
demand by merchants and shippers for discounts, but there
was almost a total absence of the clamour for accommoda-
tions which arose yesterday whenever the steamer's news
became known. First-class paper was readily discounted
to-day at the leading banks at 10 per cent. per annum;
but speculative lists were generally declined. Street
rates were steady at 1 to 1 per cent. per month. Tho
market for Eastern Exchange to-day was firmer, and very
active. The supply was quite liberal, but the demand is
increasing, and rates have an upward tendency. To-day
round lots were sold among bankers at par ; but buyers
were not generally willing to pay higher than 1.20 dis-
count. Counter rates wore irregular—ranging at 1-10 dis-
