An Exciting Day-The Causes and COnse.
queRees.

New YORK, August 9.-The Wall street
market exhibited little more animation
this evening, and features were decline
ID gold and an advance in securities on
stock exchange. Some prominent bank
ers, absent from tho market, sometimes
appeared as bold buyers, and succeeded
in establishing an advance of one to two
per cent. in the gold room. The German
and also American bankers were sellers
of gold, which caused.a decline to II9X.
The lowest price was influenced by a
rumOr of the death OF Napoleon, and by
an advance and 6rmness of United States
bonds abroad, but the decline was accel-
Grated by the fact that some weak
American bond holders were forced to
throw their gold overheard, one party
alone selling one and a half million long
gold which he found inconvenient finan-
cislly to carry any longer.
Later in the day there was a rally to
llS}& on reports Of shipments tomorrow
to the amount of one and half or two
millions, but at the Custom-house thus
far only one million has been cleared.

is greatly restored, and money withheld
from the market from fear was steadily
returning to general circulation.
The price of silver at London is de-
clining, and money is returning from the

money has subsidized.
In Frankfort, Berlin and other money
centers, financial affairs assumed a more
cheerful aspect since the Prussian vic
tory. These kilograms announce a gen.
eral feeling of indignation in London and
on the continent in regard to the viola
ton OF the international law by France,
in seizing specie. The prominent bankers
in this seizure have caused exchange in
London to advance to 25, and 90 in Paris,
the highest point reached in twenty years.

True, neither party was ready; yet the

no skirmishers to meet, and no settled
