At the date of our last, (June 16,) gold was quoted at 
197. It has since been as high us 290. Yesterday (July 
16) it fell to 242®244. Such violent fluctuations in the 
market price of the precious metal have produced equally 
extreme changes in the currency values of the principal 
kinds of produce and mercandise. At one time, (within 
the month,) speculation was quite brisk, in breadstuff's', 
provisions and groceries, ootton, wool, tobacco, hides, 
leather, &c., leading to a rapid inflation in prices of such 
articles, and checking the regular demand from home 
consumers and shippers. Recently the leading money 
lenders have been less disposed to make advances to 
dealers in produce, unless at enormously high rates of 
interest, (ranging from life, to 5 per cent a month, or 
equal to from $15ffl$60 per annum, for the use of every 
$100). Of course speculators could not afford to borrow 
on such terms, and have consequently been forced to'sell 
out, as far as practicable, in a rapidly declining mar¬ 
ket, depressed by these efforts to realize and by the heavy 
fall in gold. Hence, the business of the month in all 
kinds of domestic produce closes up tamely and feverish¬ 
ly ; holders being generally very eager to sell, and buyers 
reluctant to purchase freely. Merchants anticipate early 
and decisive national victories in Virginia and Georgia, 
which must inevitably force gold down close to its real 
value, and bring about a corresponding reduction in the 
market price of all the prime necessaries of life; In 
view of the extraordinary fluctuation (of almost daily oc¬ 
currence) in the prices of the principal agricultural pro¬ 
ducts, during the past month, it would be altogether use¬ 
less to enter into an elaborate review of the movements 
in each article. The closing currency prices of most 
commodities, (though in some instances far below the ex¬ 
treme figures ruling two weeks since,) are much higher 
than those obtainable at the date of our last.
