lihGrsday Evening, Nov. i5 1866. :
Themostp t0minent variations in financial move
ments to-fday have been rather heavy decline in
rates Of Gold and corresponding advance in the
rates of Domestic Exchange. The Gold market
ope.ned 1anguid at yesterdays closing figures and
steadily declined throughout, in accordance with
the movement Of the New York market, as ad-
Vised at short intervals by telegraph. The supply
Of cash Cod was Of a restricted character from
the opening to the close of business, however, and
as the demand was at no time better than mode
rate, transactions have been confined to the sub
Joined amounts viz 5000, $1,000 and $4,000 in the
morning at 1859, $500 and $4,000 at 1455 $1,000,
7 $4,000, 100000 and $4,000 at l45l and $2500 at
I44f Sales Of Silver have been limited to small
lotsof American and Mexican coin, which are un-
worthy of special notice, and we now quote Gold
at l4i4@l45, American Silver coin at 1400l42,
and Mexican Dollars at 1453@l463.

alton to refer to in the movement IN Sterling or
Francs. The market is moderately supplied and
there is, perhaps, slightly improved demand no.

find it necessary to purchase foreign to form ba-
sis for domestic exchange but beyond this, the in.
quiry is still quite restricted. The operations to-
