FINANCIAL.

Aas,ces from New York received here TO.
cay coofrm the truth Of our statement yes-
terday that the rise In gold Is owing in great
measure to the present attitude OF the Execu--
tive. 1t is the result, not 50 much of any par
ticuiar act Of the President, as of the feeling
Of anxiety and distFuss a. to what bis recent
proclamat ions may lead to, aud how Tar he
will carry the revolutionary movem snt com.
menced by him. Until his designs are more
clearly shown this unsssiness will continue
TO affect the gold market. Tae present
uncertainty as to his purposes, leads to the
sending off from here OF al sorts of ru-
mofs, and no matter how improbable
they may be- they have an effect in uasettliug
the market, because no one knows what is to
result from the present complications; and
every report is used by spectators to serve
their own ends. AS 1t was during the war SO
1t is now. Threatened danger to the country
necessarily causes a rise in gold. The danger
DOW is only from one quarter. Congress Is
not now in session, and therefore it is In conse.
quen oe Of NO act of that body that our finan-
cial situation Is becoming SO perilous. That
anticipations OF what the representatives Of
he people may be compelled to do In order to
nforce compliance with the laws, has an eff
ect, is certain, but those anticipat;ons are
founded on the present attitude of the Exc.
iutiye.
