GOLD AND 6ILvER-Transactions In Gold have
been marked By unusual fluctuations throughout
the week.. ending this evening. The market has
been for the most part amply supplied while the
demand has been generally of restricted charac-
ter, and but little speculative movement ct any
time noticeable. As may be readily inferred the
variations in rates here were almost exclusively
due to the sudden, and at times violent alteration

limited supply and demand throughout aud the

UScURRENr NoTEs AND SECURITIES move
ment under this heading has been restricted, I'M
settled and exceedingly Unsatisfactory to holders
throughout the week ending this evening. Some
few sales have been effected at irregular figures,
but the demand has been at no time much better
than nominal, and the market is in too unsettled
condition to obtain reliable or even closely ap-
proximating prices for any security upon the mar
ket. Operations to-day have been confined to the
appended sales, viz: $1,000 city notes at 40 y
cent discount, and $4,000 city 10 q cent. bonds at
66c. u dollar.
DIvIDEND-On the l1th inst. the Crescent CITY
Railroad Company declared dividend of 81 u
share, payable on and after the 9th inst, upon
which the company have already paid the usual
internal revenue tax.
