saturday Evening, Nov. 10, 1866.

Tho rnst nrominent feature in financial move
ments to-day has been general decline oil ABOUT
l 20 cent in rates of Gold and Foreign Exchange,
which resulted from the downward tendency of
the New York market, and the absence of
apirited or active demand in this market Oher-
iprs of Gold were ample out-of-doOrs, and during
the morning some small sales were effected to
shippers by the Galveston boats, at yesterdays
closing rates; but there was no speculative inquiry
noticeable at any time throughout the day, and as
the demand for Custom House purposes was
limited from the opening to the close OF business,
prices soon fell off on receipt of the noon tele-
grams reporting the reduction ia New ork quo
tations The sales for the day were ELECTED IN the
following order, viz: $6500 in the morning at l4f;
$500 at l464 $500 and $25 600 at l463; $4,000 at
14G]: $40 600 and $40 900 at l464, and $l5,OOO at
14G Sales Of Silver included only $1,000 Amerl-
can halves at l40, and $4,000 and 5000 Mexican
