Money iv Wadi m o re alallldlaat, and the rate of discount may bo quoted ou bilk (unconnected with cont speeitlationa or with Australia) at 41 to 41 per cent. The hanker'', as we mated last week, are full of money, even to plethora, and great didicutly is experienced in placing it at call even at 4 per cent. lit the Stock Exchange the demand for stock still continues on the part of the public. It is dearer for money than for the account. While this lasts there is no chance of money becoming d e arer, es h an kers and capitalists have only to lend their stock, on which they receive the money fur nothing, and even a pre mium for the loan of it. This operation has been effected, from data before us, to the extent of live millions. Exchequer Bills have beton flat, owing to bales on the part of the Bank on Ooveruntent account. We have no doubt, however, that long before the money is wanted for the payment of the Mouth-Sea dissen tients in January next, the tiovernment will have been aide to dispose of the Exchequer Bills they IMO on hand. The selling of Exchequer Bills on the part of the Bank, and the raising the rate of interest on East India Bonds to 3 per cent. by the East India Com pany, have, in some measure, checked the rise in the funds, which, nevertheless, has been, during the week, equal to 1 per cent. The large snivels of gold front Australia and the United States have given great confidence to the moneyed world. The amount of gold recched during the week cannot he loss than I,loo.tiont, and th e exports have been comparatively trithug. Every vessel arriving from Australia and the United States will cony to bring gild, for, notwithstanding the large supply of corn that will he purchased ill America, the holders of American stocky in England have sold them largely in Ncw York, so that the corn purchases will be more than counterbalanced. As therefore the question of abundance or scarcity of bank-notes depends entirely on the amount of gold in the coffers of the Bank, we cannot but think that bullion will continue to accumulate ; end, as a necessary consequence, that bank macs or motley will he more abundant—the more punicularly as a decided check has been given to speculative trade, and, as a conseqnence, so large • capital will nut be required for the carrying it on. • Consols have during the week fluctuated betitoett 91 and 91.1. • The accounts from Australia are highly 'sake - tory as regarils the production of gold.
