Saturday Evening, October G. 1866
The INST noticeable feature in the movement in
financial circles to-day, has been a decline in the
rates of gold and foreign exchange. The gold
market opened feeble at yesterdays closing
figures, but with a moderate demand during the
morning a light business TRANSFERRED without any
quotable variation in rates. Later in the day,
however, private kilograms were reported at
hand, quoting decline of u CT in rates at New
York, and despite the fact that subsequent dis
patches wholly failed to confirm such reports
rates rapidly declined, and The closing figures, as
will be seen below, indicated very marked re-
duction The sales for the day comprised $4,000,
and $4,000 at l474 in the morning $500, s8O00
$4,000 and $40, 900 subsequently, at 1474; S5000,
$4,000 and s1l 900 at 147t; $4,000 at l47; So,
900 at 1463; $1,000 at l463, and $4,000 at l444' 1t

magnitude reported in silver to-day, and we now
quote gold at l460l464. American silver coin at
l36@I37, and Mexican dollars at l4G0l47.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE The decline in rates of
sterling and francs, but especially the former at
New York tends to impart increased depressionto
prices here and the market to-day has ruled
throughout in favor of buyers. The offerings
however, have been exceedingly light, and the
demand could not have been considered better
than nominal at any time, from the opening to the
close of business. We annex the few sales that
have been reported to US by reliable parties, viz
