IuesuRf Evening, oct 70, 1866. J
The Gold market has been unsettled again to-
day, and the movement has been of an unusually
restricted character from the opening to the close
of business. There is q barely moderate demand
for the interior and for Custom House purposes,
while the supply is quite limited and is apparently
daily diminishing. The only sales that have come
to our notice in an authentic way to-day, were
$500, $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000 at LAG; $1,000
mixed, and s30OO $1,000 and L, 900 large, at 1464
$1,000 and $4,000 at 1462; 10000 and $4,000 at 1859;
and $1,000, $4,000 and $500 at 146l. Sales of
Silver comprised $500, $500 and $1,000, American
halves, at l58@139; and 1900 Mexican dollars at
I463 We now quote Gold at 14646lI463 Ameri-
can Silver coin at l37QDl39, and Mexican dollars
at 14640l47
FOREIGN EXcHBNGE-The tendency of both
Sterling and Francs is still in favor of buyers and
rates have receded to-day in unison with quota
tons at New York. The market was more amply
supplied than heretofore, but the demand exhib-
tied no animation whatever, and the following
sales, which include the total operations for the
day, were effected at decided decline as compared
with previous ruling prices, viz: f6500 CONNER
cial Sterling at l55, $4,000 and $4,000 do. at l56,
$1,000 private do, at 1863, $4,000 do. at 1863, and
$4,000 bank Sterling at 1853. Sales of Francs in
cuded lO0 0Of and 10 0O0f bankers at 3.55f., and
105,000f. commercial, in several lots, at 3.G25
The ruling figures this evening are, for bank
Sterling, l57@lj9; clear bills, l55@l5G; bill
of lading bills, l52Gl54; bank Francs, 1920
800, and outdoor Francs at 3.6593573.
