Gold in New York closed at liz;

THE FINANCIAL position remains Ut
terly unchanged from the condition 1t
wss week ago. Exchange has under
gone no. alteration, quoting on New
York par buying, selling at premium ;
on New Orleans discount buying, sell
ing at par. Gold has been dropping for
a week pest, and was yesterday in New
York at lila, here, 1103. The New YORK
Bulletin, Of Friday, reports: zone OF the
large holders of gold, who believed that
the vote Of the house to repeal the re-
sumption act would depress our bonds
in London to-day, unloaded his gold )
and this, with the prospect Of an early
adjournment Of congress, accounts for
the weakness of gold. The supply Of
commercial bills against actual ship
ments is not large, but there ts SOME
drawing In anticipation Of cotton ex-
ports. The foreign bankers inform us
that the letters of their OrIsspondent5
In Europe are largely devoted to ex-
pressing their anxiety and alarm at the
press dispatches sent from here ten days
to two weeks ago, to the effect that the
silver bill, or one of them, would GER
tsinly become a law. Happily, that
danger has been averted, for a few
months at least. The price Of silver has
advanced to 5I3@513 per ounce. The
silver payment to. day amounted to SILL
S75, ali for fractional notee, either pre-
sen ed here or sent TO Washington. AT
present there is no way Of getting silver
except for fractional notes, and tbs
premium on silver change continues FOL
per cent? There is not thing Of in
terest reported doing in scrips or stocks,
and the want of transactions reduce quo
tations to q nearly nominal condition.

The PRODUCE MARKET, IS is usual at
this period OF the year, is excessively
dull; prices are mostly low, with little
having been done. The potato shipping
season appears to have closed, or very
nearly so, while the reception of north
ern apples has put an end toshipping off
from this market. Eggs have doubled
ard trebIed in price. Corn yesterday
was in more liberal ofsring, and it is
understood that receipts will be mate
rally increased this week. The sjgns are
not favorable for what may come, for,
although 45c was obtained for one lot, it
would be fficult as we. write to get over
44c for round lot; the demand is very
moderate; sales included 125 sacks at
45c; ass sacks and two carloads at 44c;
a small lot or two brought higher. Oats
are in little request; SO sacks OF Ohio
were cffsred. but only 30c was bid. Bran
was quiet; 100 sacks were held at $ll SO.
