r1sA INA. AND comMNKcIAL-


R1cHaoSD, June s., 1866. i
Much interest was felt in this city in the
rapid rise of gold in New York, and the
inference was that there was more in pri-
vate letters than met the eye from pub
lished reports, to affect in such manner the
gold market. No change in stocks in this
city, and gold continues its regular rela-
ton to the New York quotations.

NEW YORK.
The gold market has been very much
excited to-day. The earliest Wall-street
quotation was 1437s; but the price rose
rapidly to l461s, and closed at 1853.
This condition of the gold market be-
trays increased causes of apprehension for
the future. The private advices per the
Nova Scotia are no doubt discouraglng.
The rise in gold will help to obstruct Its
exportation. From the lst of May to the
I'd of June there have been shipped from
New York and Boston 800 1903, l55 of gold.
The Herald of Monday morning says that
the recent rise in gold is attributable solely
to the increased demand for it to adjust
foreign accounts against us, and not to any
distrust of the public credit. The still
further advance may indicate demand
for that object of such nature as to indl-
cate increasing pressure and embarrass-
ment.
FOREIGN NEWS.
The foreign news represents affairs in
Germany as very unsettled. Prussian half
per cents had fallen from l0495 to 50. Rail
way and other securities had declined, and
the notes of banks were rapidly returning
upon them.
Austria and Italy are deeply embar-
rassed-Italy more so than Austria. The
revenues of both Kingdoms fall short of
their expenditures. The debt of Italy,
s763, 494, 1875. The receipts Of the treasury
in 1863 were 1922 $3.50; and the ex-
penditures, slS7,0T, 4S5; and the excess
of expenditures over receipts had been at
this rate for several years. Austria also
cxpcnds annually more than she receives.
Prussia alone has q surplus OF receipts
over her expenditures; and yet we see
that her bonds are deprecated. The war,
should it take place, must necessarily force
a great deal of capital to other countries
fer investment, and the United States will
get share.
