ffiuhY Evening, Oct. w. l6bb }
The Gold market has declined 1d1l8 59 cent. to-
day, owing to advices of downward tendency in
rates at New York. The supply was of re-
stricted character throughout, and the demand
was limited from the opening to the close of bust
ness, as may be readily inferred from the follow
ing, which include the whole of the operations for
the day, viz: S. 900 and $500 in the morning, at
l49; $1,000, 81 500, $4,000 and 1000 at 1889;
$6,0O0atl4SR Sl1 900 atl484; $4,000 at las $500
atl472; $4,000 at l473 and $4,000 deliverable to-
morrow, at LAT. The market towards the close
of business was very much disturbed by the re-
ceipt of a dispatch quoting Gold at New York at
l379-which was, doubtless, intended for 1413.
Sales of Silver included only $500 American
coin at 1879, and $500 Mexican Dollars at l49.
We however, quote as follows, viz: Gold l463@
1474 American Silver coin at l37G1l38, and
Mexican Dollars at l47@l473.
FOREIGN EyCHANGE-The movement under this
heading has been to great extent influenced by
operations in Gold, and the market exhibits I'M
mistakable signs of depression in every depart
ment. Offerings of private and commercial con.
tinue verylight, and the demand is of a restricted
character for every class of bills. The only sales
that have been made public to-day were Gl0O0

1853, $4,000 at 1888, and $500 and $4,000 very
