' THE PRESS, MARCH 13, 1858. ilontg Itarkti an it Initilipta. FRIDAY EVENING. THE return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday last, the 10th inst., shows the following changes compared with that for the week preceding : Increase in Circulation £346,262 Increase in Public Deposits Decrease in Other Deposits Decrease in Private Securities Increase in Bullion Increase in Rest Increase in Reserve 784,434 82.5,310 686,837 95,909 5,535 641,844 Bullion in both Departments Circulation, including Bank Post Bills The present comparison shows the Bullion to be higher now than for many years past, and the re serve of notes is also increasing in strength. So that in these two respects the position of the Bank is becoming exceedingly strong. The Private Secu• rities continue to undergo a diminution, and the re duction will probably go on until the Bank rate for advances approximates more nearly to that in the open market. The inactivity of general commerce, and the little prospect of any considerable improvement until the year is further advanced, are operating rather ad versely on the Money Market, for there is very little demand for capital, and great difficulty is experienced in finding employment for it at above two and a quarter per cent. At the same time, the political circumstances of France, from the apprehensions they have caused, have made capitalists somewhat re served. So that on the one hand,if the requirements of commerce are restricted, the enterprise of the owners of money is, for the time, discouraged ; and the general result is that, beyond supplying present wants, very few engagements of any magnitude ars entered into. Trade however is gradually reviving, particularly the home branches; and if the political condition and the executive prudence of France were such at this moment as encouraged a hope of the present embarrassments speedily subsiding, there is no reason why confidence should not be immediately imparted to the Money Market. At present the pre vailing features of it are extreme sensitiveness and considerable distrust. With regard to the political circumstances of our own country, there is among all the moneyed classes, except those who hold extreme views, perfect confidence in the capacity and prudence of Lord Derby's Government. The objection that it is the Government of a minority is less damaging to it than to the parties who make it ; and certainly it has no weight whatever with the substantial interests of the country. If it had, the Money Market would, by this time, have been in a very different position. About 860,0001. in gold has arrived during the week. Of this amount, a large proportion has been taken for export to the Continent, some has been purchased by the Bank, and some yet remains upon the market. The continental inquiry is not yet sa tisfied. 100,0001. was withdrawn from the Bank to day for export there. Part of the demand has arisen from the necessity of paying for silver which we continue to draw thence for transmission to India and China, and some from the state of the exchanges, which makes it profitable to remit coin ; but we believe that there is quietly a good deal of hoarding. There is no material difference in the Continental Exchanges this week. . . _ _ English Securities have on the whole been quiet, but with occasional tendencies to depression. The state of affairs in France, and the claims put forth by the Government of that country upon England, Switzerland, Sardinia, and Austria, together with the numerous arrests officially announced, have in spired a sense of uneasinees utterly beyond the more favourable influences of the market to neutralise. Railway Shares hive suffered most, the downward tendency being in this case azcelerated by diminished traffic receipts, and by the fortnightly settlement which concludes on Tuesday. A few Foreign Stocks have improved, but to no great extent. Consols, which loft off this day week at 961 to j, attained, upon purchases by the Government broker, to 97i, the highest price of the week; but on Wed. nesday, and again yesterday, a reaction was pro duced by the intelligence from France, and last night the closing price was 96i to 97. This morning they opened at 961 to f, and the market was dull during the greater part of the day ; but at the close they advanced to Otli to 97 upon the receipt of a tele graphic despatch from Paris, to the effect that all causes of difference with this country bad been remo‘ad, Railway Shares since last Friday have fallen from one to two per cent. The decline was precipitated In most cases by the reduced traffics having stimu lated the dealers to get out of stock, and by the pubi=c, who have recently absorbed a great deal, not coming forward as buyers, or only to a very limited extent. The excessively low fares charged on the great lines running to the north are certainly prejudicing invest ments, even at present prices; bat if the political atmosphere were clear, the reaction would be very great, for the traffics are only temporarily depressed. Colonial and French shares are lower, but Indian descriptions are steady. The Foreign Market has beau very quiet, and no change of consequence has taken place in it. Joint-stock Banking Shares, and those of some of the Dock Companies, have been rather largely dealt in for investment. Miscellaneous descriptions un altered. The monthly return of the Bank of France, made up to yesterday, the 11th inst., was published in the Moniteur this morning. It bears evidence of the comparative inactivity of commerce by a diminution of 1,541,6011. in the discounts, and of a demand for money on the part of the public by an increase in the amount of advances on stocks and shares. The circulation is now 22,530,5601., or 377,5141. less in the amount shown in the previous return ; but the bullion now amounts to no less than 13,509,0911., or 2,194,928/. more than in March. This addition has been wade apparently in the ordinary and regular course, as the item of premiums paid upon purchases of gold and silver has disappeared from the present account. The Provincial Trade Reports, though showing dulness compared with the activity which distiu guished the early part of last year, are growing more favourable. The American trade is improving, and a little more is doing for India and Australia ; but the general course of improvement points more to an increase of home rather than of foreign demand for our principal manufactures.
