CRESCENT OFFICE No. 81 CAMP STREET. i
Monday Evening, Sept "a, 1866.
The movement in financial circles to-day has
disclosed still further decline in rates of Gold,
influenced by adVices from New York. and by the
receipt of $559,607 in Mexican dollars by the
steamship st. Mary, from Brazos Santiago. Under
an existing rule of the radical Congress, the
latter are receivable at the customhouse for
import and export duties, equivalent in
value to the American dollar. The de-
mand for the precious metals has been of
a very restricted character to-day, and the only
purchases that have come to our notice in an au'
thentic shape were the following, Wiz $1,000 gold
IN the morning at 143; and $500 do. at the same
figure; $4,000 ct 1929; $1,000, $4,000, $4,000 and
$4,000 at 1424; $2O00 $4,000 and $4,000 at l424 and
5000 and $4,000 at l42. AS will be readily IN
ferred from the above, when prices reached the
minimum figure, spectators for an advance came
forward. The sales of silver to-day included
$500 American halves at 134B and $1,000 do. at
I35. The closing rates this evening are l428l423
for gold, 13S@135 for American silver coin, and
14l4@l42A for Mexican dollars
FOREIGN ExoHAEGE-There is no quotable vari-
alton of any kind to refer toin Sterling or Francs.
The supply upon the market still continues OF
very restricted character, while the demand is but
little better than nominal and rates rule nominaly
the same as at the close of the previous week

DOMESTIC ExCHANGE-With tendency to still
lower rates. the market has been inactive to-day
Offerings of private and commercial disclose no
marked increase, despite the heavy recent sales
of Cotton for Northern and Eastern account. But
while the supply, as in this case, may be held
back for q time, all business men who keep tho
roughly posted we'll know that the offerings upon
the market must be very materially increased
within d few days, and influenced by this asaur-
ance they are unwilling to make heavy remittances
at the present asking rates. The only purchases by
banks and bankers to-day, were: $1,000 Bank New
York sight at u cent. discount; $4,000 and
$4,000 do. at 3-l6 ID cent. discount; $4,000 do.
at u cent discount; $50 900 fifteen days sight at
I " cent. discount; SIT 600 do. at 1ll6 u cent.
discount and SIS 900 sixty days sight at Bcent.
discount. We continue to quote New York sight
at par0J u cent. discount at bank and at 3C0} u
cent. discount in the outdoor market. The opera
tons in short sight and in time drafts are SUI Of
too restricted character to establish quotatonsi
and we therefore omit them.
