Thursday Evening, May "a, 1865.
The Gold market has fuctuated to some extent
to-day At the opening it was dull and Irregular
as the day advanced, it became firm and buoy
ant; While towards the close of business it
steadily tended in favor of buyers Offerings
were ample throughout, and the movement in the
way of sales and resaes absorbed over quarter
of million of dollars We subjoined the princi-
pal operations as follows, viz: $4,000 at l42
$4,000 at l4l3 $4,000 and $4,000 at 14l;
$4,000 at l42; S2OO0 $4,000, $4,000, $4,000

$9O0O $4,000, $4,000 and 100000 at l424, and
$4,000 and $4,000 at 142. We have presented the
sales in the order in which they TRANSFERRED, as in
fluenCed by New York kilograms, and would re-
mark that the market closed languid at yesterdays
quotations, which we repeat, as follows, viz: 142
0l424 for large Gold. Sales of Silver have been
restricted to unimportant lots of American coin,
and to 1900 Mexican Dollars, which changed hands
in the morning at IA. Quotations for American
coin are I2569l2S, and for Mexican Dollars 142@
LA.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE Rates of both Sterling and
Francs have been still further enhanced to-day,
and we have revised our quotations to correspond
with the latest Improvement The market has
been but very poorly supplied, however, and the
subioined statement comprises all Of the opera.

DOMESTIC Observation-Disclosures il no variation of
any kind to notice in the movement in Domestic Ex-
change. Offerings of private and commercial are
still Of a very restricted character, while the de.
mand at bank for remittance purposes shows
marked falling off. Rates are slightly weaker, but
not sufficiently so to justify any attention Of quo
tatlOns. The purchases by banks and bankers
since last have been confined to the following
amounts, viz. SIS ,0Og and $4,000 New York
sight at ~ cent. premium, and SIS 900 Provi-
dence sight at p cent. premium, payable in New
York sight, at u cent. premium. Quotations
Still rule at ID cent. premium, at bank, and tM93
ID cent. premium, out Of doors, for sight checks
on the Northern cities. One of the banks has
been checking to limited exteuSfor customers
only at y cent. premium during the past two or
three days but all of the others are still firm at T.
UNcUREENT BANK NOTES AND SEoURTTIEs.-The
movement in the issues Of the banks in liquidation
has, since our last, been restricted to sales of
$4,000 Union Bank, at an advance, but the
percse figure paid has been withheld. Transac-

cradle frmness, may be inferred from the
annexed statement of the operations for the day,
viz: 10, Is and Is shares, City Railroad stock, at
POL and 2, H. Is, Is, 26 and 50 do at prices that
have not TRANSFERRED 50 do, Canal Bank at ST. and
400 do, Opelousas Railroad stock at 3d. The mar.
ket is too unsettled to obtain reliable or even
appro1imatng quotations, and we therefore omit
