Fine malting barley has been in good request., at is to 2s per quarter more money. In the value of grinding and distilling sorts no change has taken place. Oats, beans, and peas—the receipts of which have not increased—have continued steady, on former terms.

BANK OF FRANCE. Tio Monthly Debtor and Creditor Account of the Bank of France, made up to Thursday, the 9th inst., was pub lished yesterday. Mr. Avens, stockbroker, of Tokenhouse• yard, in his circular of yesterday, states that it is much less favorable than that for the preceding month. The de. crease in the stock of bullion is very large, notwithstanding an increase in the amount of premiums paid to secure supplies of more than '25,0001. The return, however, contains evidence that the Bank is discouraging specula Lion on the Bourse, though it has been obliged largely to increase its commercial discounts, but the restrictive mea• sures adopted in the last and present week have not yet come into full operation. Compared with the previous return, the following will show the changes made in the position of the establishment during the month expressed in English currency, at an exchange of twenty-five francs to the pound sterling : Decrease in Circulation Decrease in Public Deposits Increase in Private Deposits Increase in Discounts 2,897,6i/8 Decrease in Bullion 2,773,28l Increase in Commercial Discounts 2,897,608 Increase in Advances on Bullion Decrease in Advances on Public -- Securities 94,142 Decrease in Advances on Railway Securities Increase in Premiums on Purchase of Gold and Silver Increase in Aggregate Liabilities.. 3,711,731 Circulation Stock of Bullion (October 10) The premiums paid on gold and silver purchases now amount to 85,144/. Last month they were 59,8.521. A sum, therefore, of 25,2921. has been expended in these irregular transactions, as we deem them, during the last four weeks. The following table shows, comparatively, the advances made by the Bank in the two months just closed : OCT. SEPT. ..
