GobD--Has gone still lower to-day, and we have
again to reduce our quotations fully q cent, ow
M to the rapid downward tendency Of the New
york market despite the decline reported in U. S.
5-20's at London. Operations 10 the morning were
light, but later in the day there was good specu-
lative demand noticeable, which resulted in rather
heavy sales but without creating any reaction
whatever in rates. We subjoin particulars of the
movement as follows, viz: $1,000 and $4,000 at
s1453; $40. 1000 and 900 at l45a $1,000, 5000

UEcuRRENT NOTES AND SECURITIES There is
but very little movement of any kind transporting
in Uncurrent Notes or Securities. Offerings Of the
former have materially diminished since most of
the banks in liquidation commenced the redemp-
ton of their outstanding issues and the supply Of
the latter is generally composed Of classes that
attract but little attention. When favorite stocks
or bonds appear upon the market they are readily
absorbed, however, at steadily advancing prices,
but at this season Of the year, and especially Of
this year, there are very few choice Securities
offered for sale. Transactions outside Of the bank
to-day have been confined TO- $500 and $1,000 Louisi-
ana State Bank Notes at $50 dollar, and IS shares
City Railroad Stock at price that has not tran
spired. Operations at the Brokers' Board were
principally restricted to dealings in Gold, as will
be seen BY the annexed particulars Of the actual
sales at the two sessions Of that body, viz:
