BIG DROP IN THE DOLLAR.

Down At Close To-day.

Those optimists who have been looking forward to an early appreciation of the dollar received a rude shock to-day, when the Bank de- mand value dwindled from 1/3 3/16, at close of business, yesterday, to a rate of 1/2 15/16 at the close to-day. This represents a remarkable drop of 1⁄4d. In twenty-four hours--a most disconcerting development. M

The Shanghai fael, quoted at 80 at the close yesterday, closed at 78% to-day.

The drop suddenly in the local dollar is most unexpect ed, and the biggest for several months. The lowest quotation for the current year was 1/2 5/8.
