The very active and general demand for Gold
yesterday which, as stated in our last report was
almost exclusively for the purpose of meeting pre-
vious short sales, has been followed by a very
> marked abatement to-day The market was fairly
: but not heavily supplied with cash Gold, and de-
spite the announcement in the evening papers, of
J a further advance of u cent. in rates, at New
York this morning prices fell of, and we have to
reduce our quotations fully a@2 per cent. The
principal sales for the day will be found included
