ExcaAssK'~The money market continues very
tight and the rates OF have risen since
last. We have heard of l5 per ceat and more
being paid tor the use Of money one month, by
good parties, who had ample security. The fine
weather has gwen rather more healthy tone 10
business, but the communication with the mining
distinct Is not yet fairly re-established, and the
consequences is, that gold dust is not yet arriving
ss freely as must be the case one month hence.
The steamers continue to bring, both from Panama
and the Mexican ports, large amounts of specie,
partly for the purpose Of investment in gold dust,
and permanent Investment IN this country. The
money, has tended to raise the value of gold dust
to sl6 and SIG IS per ounce.
Although no distinction is generally made when
gold dust 10 used as the medium of currency in
ordinary business transactions, yet we believe. of
late especially, the quality is greatly inferior
that received some few months back. We have
tired the experiment, and extracted as much as
two ounces Of sand and dirt from package OF ten
thousand dollars. Quick SILVER Is also coming into
general use in the extraction OF the finer sorts of
gold, and the apparatus used being of very i'm.
perfect nature, large proportion of the metal re-
mains sdhering to the gold, which, when assaved
at the mint. cannot fail to leave loss of from to
10 per cent.
The rates Of exchange on New York continue
al par, taking gold dust at l6 dollars per or for
first rate bills at 80 days eight London, ash pence,
80 days; Paris, s francs Parties in need of funds
continue to offer their bills at from to 10 per cent
