The movements of the Army of the Potomac,

have been the great absorbing topic of the week.
The excitement produced by the war news at
tracted attention from business to great extent,
and the probability Of large decline in gold, in
case of the complete success of the Government
army, stopped all speculative movements, and
caused an unsettled and nervous feeling. Gold
declined considerably. but not as largely as had
been expected; il is generally conceded, however.
that further material uecne will be established
in case Of the complete defeat OF the rebel army
under Lee and this keeps all in suspense await

anxiety from hour TO hour. The demand for

was obtained at 10 per cent The regular banks
