Wednesday Evening, May q, 1866. :
Gold has advanced to-day fully 7G17! u cent
The market was fairly supplied throughout, as the
recent upward movement had the effect of unearth.
ing considerable amounts of the precious
metals that have not been exposed to
the public gaze for some time past. At
an early hour of the morning a dispatch
was received, announcing an advance of 283 q
cent. at New York on yesterdays closing figures,
and as the day advanced intelligence came to hand
at short intervals, which exhibited rapid i'm
provement in that market. Operations in our
market have been considerably above the previous
daily average, and the principal sales have been
effected in the following order, viz $1,000 and
100000 in the morning at 1855, $4,000 at 1869, $4,000
at 1856, 5000 at 1861 $4,000, 5000 and
$ll 600 at 1877, $4,000 at 1874, $4,000 at 1875,
$4,000 by one party, in lots, at l3730l40; $1,000,
$5000 $1,000, $4,000, $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000,

$4,000 at l42 $4,000 and $4,000 at l42l and
$4,000 at li25. It is worthy of remark that the
president Of one Of our principal banks telegraphed
to New York in the forenoon to have an order
filed, and that subsequently he was assured that
$4,000 had been purchased for him at 1856. Sales
Of Silver since our last have been restricted TO

ters, in one lot, at 1888. We now quote Gold at

we have been able to discover to-day in the move
ment in Foreign bills, was an additional advance
of 70 cent. in rates of both Sterling and Francs.
The market was almost entirely bare of outdoor
bills throughout the day, and most, if not all OF
the banks, manifested an indisposition to draw at
any price. The following are the only actua
