FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
nONETARY,.

THURSDAY EVENING, Jan. 20, 1855
The activity which peryaded business circles
yesterday was checked to-day By the uncertain
movements Of gold. Though unmistakably weak
CT, 1t did not decline sufficient to cause panic OF
thorough breakdown in prices; but it unsettled
values Of all kinds, rendered buyers exceedingly
cautious, and increased the anxiety Of sellers.
The grain markets were less active and prices
ruled shade lower Than yesterday; while the
Provision market Wss characterized by extreme
dnllness and inactivity.
The demand for money waz less active than yes
terday and the money market was quict and un-
changed; but commercial paper Is still plenty and
our bankers have to use great discrimination In
discuunting. Rates are unchanged, viz: 10 per
cent per annum at the banks, and al3 per cent psr
month on the street.
Eastern Exchange continues scarce, and rates
are firm at par buying and premium selling
Some Of the banks are still shipping t,reenbacks
by express to make exchange.
Gold opened in New York to-day at aol, fell to
2o3f, and closed at s:3o p. m. at .o6 Tho follow
