New YORK. June Is, 1866.
The city excitement to-day is gold not an in
convenient thing to have on hand especially If
you happened TO have bought itabout Friday last

metal ductuated to-day from 50 to 90, and back to
5S, where it stands as I am writing. Stocks are

European powers will be beneficial to us, mas

powers involved, will have q tendency to attract
capital here and, furthermore, our breadstutts
will be in more active demand, increasing our ex-
portations about one-third These are the two ex-
IRENE predictions, neither (which, Ipresume, will
positively occur, and therefore if we go about
halfway on each, guess we shall be about right
