The conrsc Of gold during the week ending TO-

else than 'tpeacc missions" has disturbed the
market. True, when it was found out that Messrs.
Hunter, Stephens and Campbell had gone back to
Richmond without accomplishing anything, the
"bulls " managed 10 force gold up, but It was
only temporary. Since then 1t has dragged heavi-

and the reports from New York would seem to iu-

Gold Is not wanted to any extent By merchants to
pay duties, FOR the imports are unusually light,
and the dcmc1d Is chiefly confined to Spectators
whose wants ere also limited, for the times arc
such that men net cautoua1y. Besides this, the
receipts Of cotton arc expected to be quite heavy
for month to come, and cotton Is good n gold
at present.
Under this state Of affaira, the produce markets
have ruled sluggish and heavy. Merchants all
over the country are drawing tn-venturing as it,
