Thursday, August 16, 1866
The Gold Market opened strong this morning,
and the closing rate this afternoon is 15lb.
The frmness in the premium is attributed 10
the influence of the European news, indicating
further political complication, and perhaps war
between Prussia and France. The borro wing
demand is active, and large and short interest
is said to be out. 1t is argued that the price
OF gold cannot declne until tho supply on the
market is increased by shipments OF gold from
Eur0pe-or by SALE OF that IN the Treasury De-
partment-an event, it is TO be hoped, not likely
to take place.
Under the influence OF the notice from The
Secretary of the Treasury (pnnted in yesterdays
TELEGEAPH) that the temporary deposits OF the
Government would be paid on or before Aug. 26,
and that interest thereon would cease after that
date the stock market was very buoyaut this
morning. Government bonds continued to ad
vance. BY the new order of the Secretary OF
the Treasury the sum of 500, 600, 900 will be
thrown upon the market in search of employ
ment, and must materially influence the prices
of Government and other securities and also the
rates for loans
