The advance IL gold to day tended to stimulate
business and strengthen the produce markefs, ont
tho activity was materially checked by the strin-
Cency in the money market. Wheat advanced 40
Sc per bushel; oats 391c per bushel; and prime
mess pork Soc per bsErel. The demand. however,
was almost wholly speculative, and the advance
mined was scarcely maintained TIL the close OF
Change.
There WIS an active inquiry for money by grain,
pork and whisky spectators, hut the bankers dis
criminated yerJ closely, and the discounts at the
banks wero light at 10 per cent per annum. Street
brokers discounted commercial paper at 2B3 per
cent per month.
Eastetn Exchange continues scarce, and, With
air inquiry, rates are firm at par buying and
premium selling. The shipments Of provisions
now are Of very trifing naure, and bankers
have to ship greenbaeks almost daily to draw
against. ....
The hope Of peace with the South through
tho Blair mission is now very slight in
financial and commercial circles. Not
wfthatanding this, however, there L. an ab1d-
ng faith In the operations Of Gen. Grant
and Gen. Sherman towards the sam8 result and
although gold during the past two or three days
has exhibited symptoms OF sallJing, there Is bnt
little confidence felt in the advance being main-
tanned any considerable length Of time. Among
nearly al cISsaes, tAela ID eno1s Aeel4ue pEo*A-
lent that prices must now tend downWards, and
this IL more apparent In the produce market than
anywhere else. Even Provision holders, who
have tho certainty Of 'ahort CROP to sustain
them, are now more anxious TO cell than when
gold was go and mess pork Si0.C0 brl.
Gold was excited in New York to-day, and the
market opened at 20a3, declined to 100, and ad-
vaneed to 215s, at which quotation 1t closed at
p. m. 1t waa reported on the street that the ad-
vauuc was the result Of the efforts OF two promi-
nent gold spectators to corner ahoEtscllers The
following are the quotations telcsraphed to James
