FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
RICHMOND, June Fl, 1866

supplies is interrupted somewhat by the
harvest, which has begun on lower James
river. The crop is light generally but,
under favorable weather, has much i'm
proved in some sections, and the quality,
it is anticipated, will be good, which is no
small consolation for short crop.

Virginia stocks are seldom offered at the
gold board in New York. They must be
therefore held by persons who have conil-
dcnce in them. If so, it is q confidence
not at all misplaced. No section of the
Union more mcritsth attention of moneyed
men than this very Old Dominion. Her
position in the map of the Union-her
climate and salubrity-her water power
her mineral resources-her agricultural
wcalth-all show her equal 10 any other
part of the globe as a place of thrift and
prosperity for enterprising men. If these
are but partially employed by capitalists
and newcomers, in few years Virginia
will establish her credit by compliance
with all her obligations, and she will be
regarded as one of the most reliable States
in the Union.
NEW YORK.
The gold market to-day in New York
maintained its quiet and freedom from
panic. 1t is probable the bulls and
bears are awaiting the next steamer from
Europe, and will make no vigorous fight
for the present.
Gold to-day opened at Isl, declined to
ASH, and closed at 1875.
Owing to an error in the remarks upon
gold speculation in our paper yesterday
morning, the meaning was cOntounded. Ii
was leading shear mot a a." bull y
who, on Monday, changed his tactics,
for while acting with the bulls; but
about 10 o'clock turned suddenly upon
them, and sold a million of dollars al
1851, and offered TO duplicate the sale
thus knocking down the price, in few
minutes, fifteen per cent.
There is no new feature in the money
world of New York. Money is plenty
and interest from four to six per cent. OF
call. Foreign exchange was very low, anc
the demand very dull. Best sixty-day bill'
were at lO7348lOS1s, which was below th'
spccic-shipping rate.
