We have now compiled our usual summary the
gold movement at this port Tor the last MONTH
We wish here 70 express IN apprehension 'nat nc
bank account i becoming complicated IN the
new deposit system, precisely as 1t dld n
few months ugo with the gold certiheate e
of the Bank of New York. We trust that
some Arrangement may be made by which the
gold certificates issued at the Sub Treasury IN this
city and held as the property OF the banks, may
be reekoned separately from the com actually III
their vaults lfthis is not done, that portion q
the gold will be counted twice, and the report Will
only mslcad the public. In compiling our usual
monthly tables We find the apparent gam IN the
banks and Sub-Treasury nearly SIX millions more
than can be accounted for by the difference be
tween the receipts and the exports, part OF
this j. undoubtedly gathered m from boards Dut
il NAV be a question whether some Of the banks
do not count the Sub-Treasury certificates as gold,
and thus show a greater gam than would appear
IL only the coin was actually counted.
The amount of specie IN the Banks and sub
Treasury on the 1st of December. 1865, was $50
696s57 90 an Increase Of go 600 600 90 since Janua
ny 1st 1866 Of this increase SIS 100000 came from
California and 81 1000 OOO-from Foreign Countries.
The prices for Stocks were strong at the early
opening. At the regular board on the first call the
highest rates Of Saturday were hardly sustained.
The market afterwards was somewhat finctuating
and generally lower. Governments were hrm at
the First Board but sales were made IN the street
at a fractional decline. At the one o'clock session
most of the railway shares and SONS classes of
Governments improved. At the Second Board
many Of the leading stocks sold at a decline from
the morning quotations. and the market was I'M
steady towards the close.
On Saturday there were kilograms in the city
from the centres Of grain speculation at the West
giving discouraging accounts Of the condition of
some Of the operators, and these have exerted an
unfaVOrable influence on financial affairs here,
creating more or less easiness and exciting
vague fears Of impending trouble. We RETAINED
from alluding to this in our last issue, lest any
notice yet might add 10 the excitement; but il is
spoken of 50 widely to-day, that further retcence
is useless. The market dispatches from Chicago
to the Associated Press thus far given, do not
roboratc the private advices, and it maybe that
the latter have been too highly cOored for the
purpose Of affecting the market, or may refer to
fainrcs previously noticed in our paper.
