New YORK, July IA, evening.-In the Gold Room
the excitement was renewed with vgor at an early
hour to-day. The whole aspect changed upon the
rmored resignation of the French ministers reported
in the morning journals, which WAS succeeded BY
French cable kilograms to the effect that Napoleon had
recalled Benedetta, the French Ambassador at the
court of Berlin. Later still the German Bankers re-
ceTed kilograms from Frankfort and Berlin that the
King OF Prussia had dismissed the French Minister and
given him his passports. The price of gold opened at
ll21 on the street. At early hour it rapidly ad
vanced to 49, After the formal opening of the room,
when the above news became generally known, prices
advanced quickly to 1l3a. The upward movement
was further stimulated by cable kilograms from Lon
don quoting decline of one per cent. consos and
Il fall in 20 bonds to S7s. Still further on in the
day private London kilograms reported unsettled
feeling in the London Stock Exchange and decline
in 5-20 bonds to &c. accompanied by the restoration
Of the story that the French Ambassador at Berlin had
been given his passports by the King of Prussia Gold
reached 1131, but soon after rallied to l34. 1t af-
terwards receded to ll34@l13s and became compar-
ativey quiet The afternoon fluctuations were not so
wide, late kilograms being to the effect hatth French
ministry had not resigned. These kilograms, as Il
whole, had tendency to sten the price of gold, but
still later in the day better feeling reported in
London and $40 bonds were quoted all the way from
S74 to S7f. On these quotations the German bank
ers were sellers of gold and the price dropped from
llos 10 1854 At the close kilograms from Paris
quoted French rentes at 67.a5, the lowest point Of
the day. This started the war feeling IN the Gold
Room once more, and the price rallied to ll3a and
closed excited and unsteady.
