Monday Evening" April 30, 1866.
The movement in financial circles since orr last
has disclosed very heavy reaction in rates of
Gold aud Foreign Exchange together with a mod
crate decline in Domestic Exchange. The Gold
market opened anguid and dropping this morning
under unfayorabIe adyices from New York, and
but few sales could be effected up to the receipt
of the regular noon dispatches. When the latter
came to hand, announcing decline of nearly %
cent, on Saturdays ruling rates, however, prices
Immediately fell off fully 4 u cent, and the
operations during the remainder Of the day
were of considerably restricted character
even at the reduced figures We sub
join the whole of the actual operations in the
order in which they TRANSFERRED, viz $4,000 at 1899
$500 and $50 600 at l29 $4,000 and $4,000 at l2S3 ;
$1,000 and $500 at 1928; $4,000 at 1873 $1,000 at

$4,000 at 1876; $500 at 1859; and $ll 900 at l253
No sales of any magnitude have transpired in
Silver and we now quote Gold at l263@l27, and
Silver at I10@l2O for American coin, and l2G3@
1873 for Mexican dollars.
FOREIGN ExoHANGE-Ra of Foreign bills have
declined fully two per cent to-day, owing to the
very heavy falling off in quotations Of Gold both
at New York and in this market. Offerings were
more light throughout, but they were nevertheless
in excess of the demand, and the total operations
nave been restricted to the subjoined amounts,
viz: E1l0O clear sterling and $4,000 at 1873, $500
at l37al3s, $4,000 at l374@l383, $4,000 at l3G2@l38
$4,000 at 1875 $500, Gl5OOand G22O0 at 1863, f420O

of Francs have been restricted to 100000 at 4l73f
and 75,0OOf and SOOODf do. at 4,l5f. We now
quote bank sterling at l39@l4O, clear bills 1860
1873 and bill lading bills l3l0l35, bank francs,
4100AO and outdoor francs, 4.l74@ll5f
DOMESTIC ExCHANGE-The movement in Do.
mestic Exchange has exhibited increased weak
ness to-day. Offerings of private and commercial
were very light throughout and the demand was
of an unusually restricted character both at
bank aud on the street. The following comprise
the whole of the outdoor operations that have
come to our knowledge, viz: $4,000, $4,000 and
$4,000 New York sight at 4 u cent. premium,
$50 0O0 5j5 900 and $4,000 at u cent pre-
MUM, $4,000 three days sight at par, $500 three
days DO. at the same, and SIS 900 five days
sight at the same figure, and $50 900 sixty days
sight at II cent. discount. The closing quota
tons are a@5 at bank and 403 ~ cent. for out
of doors.
SroGKs AND BoNDs-Operations in all classes of
securities have been almost wholly suspended to-
day. Offerings were too light to admit of heavy
negotiations in the better classes, and the supply
Of al other descriptions was wholly neglected
The following include the very few actual sales
that have been effected to-day, viz: shares Mer-
chants Bank stock, at 80; 400 City Railroad Com
pany at 200 and Is and 76 do. at prices that have
been withheld.
UHcuRRESr BANK NOTES.-The movement in
the issues of the several banks in liquidation has
been almost wholly suspended since our last
owing to the falling off in the supply and to the
heavy advance demanded by holders. In fact, the
prospect Of an immediate return of the Bonds OF
the banks in liquidation has caused parties to look
upon the notes as equivalent to greenbacks, and
the time for speculation in these has long since eX
pired. The only sales Of which we have been ad'
vised since our last was S4OO Bank Of New Orleans
at 95c. f3 dollar.
real EsrArE.-The principal operations under
this head yesterday we're the sales by Walton y
Deslonde, which resulted as follows, viz;
The Home plantation, parish Of Ascension
II OO0; the Garick plantation parish of lberyiile
10000; the Lambrement plantation, parish Of
Ibervilic, IS 900.
