The MONEY MARKEr.-The gold mar
ket has been furious this week. The pre-
mium advanced during the week to the
tremendous figure Of 4 65, but bss since
declined 10 4 25. At which price it sold
yesterday buying rate 4 O0-the bro
kers paying Ave dollars 10 Confederate
notes for one dollar iG gold. This decline
in gold is csuseI oy toe diminished do

jews and foreigners leaving Richmond
being we'll over. G,ld has no longer a
standard price; but is purely an article oi

ly by the demand for il in the contra
ba nd traffic with the Nor,h-snd not
from any dis,rust in Confederate money.
The price o: gold in no way affects the
value Of Confederate notes. and the sim
pie reason Of its high price is that the
