The interest is reduced from 2ed. to 21. per diem. instead of lid., as was expected. A decline of about ss. took place in the premium ; but the price has since recovered to that at which it stood la.t. Friday —namely, 335. to 375. prem. The abundance Of money wanting employment is causing large purchases to be made in these seounties. The wool sales commenced yesterday, and an advance of about Id. per pound has been established on moat de scriptions. The Borough Bank of Liverpool has offered to pay off 50,0001. of the promissory notes of the establishment due on the 27th of April next, at a discount of three and a half per cent. Mr. Willcox, M.P., has been appointed chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, in the place of Sir J. Matheson, resigned. The Provincial Trade Reports are gradually becoming more satisfactory. Stocks of manufactured goods are generally low, and accumulation is prevented by higher prices being required, in consequence of raw materials having advanced. The demand, however, cannot long re main at its present point. BRITISH FUNDS.— Closing Prtors. OFFICIAL QUOTATIONS. Mond. need.
