The gold market was less confident to-day. and
the continued favorable prospects of the Syndicate
have given the premium a lower tone, the price
dropping from 49,, at the opening, to 49,, despite
the shipment of $65OOOO in specie of which $5OOOO

very important, though it is quite likely a goodly
amount of long gold has been marketed under the
continued heayiness for part of the day at least
