littroptitan alariuts. I JUNE 14, 1856. 15, 0 00,0001., an amount they have only attained once since last September. The decrease in the Public Deposits is considerable at this period of the quarter, with the pay ment of the July dividends in prospect ; but this item will be made ample by the receipt of the two instalments of the losn before that period arrives. The sale of Govern ment Securities appears to have been large ; and possibly they have been disposed of with a view to maintaining the reserve. On the whole the return is quite es satisfac tory as couli be expected. It is anticipated that the next return will show about an equal improvement in the bul lion and reserve ; but little or no increase in Private Secu- rities, notwithstanding the advances on account of the loan instalment. The Money Market has been characterised by continued ease during the whole week, notwithstanding the adverse influences created by the unsettled questions with the United States, our rather boastful naval preparations in connection therewith, a further decline upon the Paris Bourse, and the payment of a large instalment upon the new loan, amounting to 1,000,0001. It is a clear proof of vigour and streng►h when, in opposition to these opposing elements, money has actually become cheaper and in less active demand, although our commercial and general transactions, so far from being contracted, are extending on almost every side. Much of this excellent feeling is due to the confidence felt in the prudence with which the ordinary trade of the country continues to be carried on, to the reserve with which speculative undertakings are re garded, and perhaps, most of all, to the prospect of arrangements being made with the United States for an amicable solution of all existing difficulties in a way that need not, if common discretion is manifested in the nego- tiations, offend the susceptibilities of either of the two countries. So free has the market been from difficulty or even pressure, that we believe it is a fact that the applications to the Bank for discounts during the week have not amounted to 20,0001. in Lombard-street, where the rates are fully one-half per cent. lower than the Bank minimum, the applications have also fallen off, though the difference between the rates causes the best part of the commercial bill circulation to be taken there. Under these circum stances it is not surprising that rumours have prevailed, and still prevail, of a further reduction in the rates, and also that a mere one-half per cent. will not be fcuml ade quate to cause a return of this class of business to Thread needle-street. It must be one per cent.; otherwise things may as well remain as they are. The policy of so consi derable a reduction will, of course, be mainly guided by the amount of the unemployed reserve and of the stock of bullion, as well as the general financial prospects of the country; and certainly there is nothing in the above return or in the present aspect of commercial interests to lead us to suppose that the step will be delayed much beyond another fortnight. The payment of the loan instalment of 1,000,0001. yes terday was effected without any but the most temporary pressure imaginable ; and, contrary to general expectation, the Bank was called upon for an extremely moderate amount of advances in connection with it—not more than 100,0001. we have heard. On the Stock Exchange there was fur a time a good demand, but it soon subsided, and in no case were the rates above the average of from five to five and a half per cent. The next loan instalment, which will also absorb 1,000,0001., is due on Saturday, the 28th instant. Specie has been imported during the week to the value of 400,0001.; the exports have been has than 80,0001. The Bank has been a purchaser of gold to the extent of nearly 200,0001. A considerable fraud has been discovered in the boxes containing the specie brought by the last West India steamer; silver to the value of 10,0001. was abstracted somewhere on the passage across the Isthmus of Panama, and lead and shot substituted. Console have been remarkably steady during the week, but with a constant tendency to advance. They left off last Saturday at 931 to 94 ex. dividend for the account of the 10th of July, and though business has been charac. tensed by unusual langour, having been affected by poli tical considerations on the one hand, and by the attrac tions of Ascot on the other, they were at one time quoted so high as 941 to 1. The average range of fluc tuation, however, has been only about three-eighths per cent. Last night they closed at 941 to *; this morning they opened at 944 to 1, and remained steady, and rather firm at that quotation until noon, when adverse political rumours began to be credited to the effect that Mr. Dallas would be dismissed. These rumours and a continuous fall of rain made the market extremely sensitive, and the consequence was that prices drooped, and they left off at 93j to 94. After regular hours transactions were entered into at 94. The scrip of the new loan has improved since this day week frilly a half per cent. To•day it left off at 2ê to prem. The Exchequer-bill Market has also improved. Rills were yesterday in demand at. 6s. to 9s. prem. Railway Shares have also been steady, with very mode rate fluctuations. Indeed, this market has been firm, considering the recent general advance and the re stricted amount of transactions. Preference and guaran teed shares have been in almost constant demand. French and Canadian shares, especially the former, have been most depressed ; but they recovered. To day, however, there was almost a general decline. Indian descriptions have also been dealt in to some extent. The week's traffic returns are nearly all good ; and it only needs the political horizon to clear up a little more distinctly to add wonderfully to the value of all this class of securities. Joint stock Bank Shares have been in good demand; and all the new City undertakings have improved. The Unity Bank is now quoted in the Course of Exchange, but as these shares are held in small proportions, mostly for investment, transactions are few, but we have heard of some at a premium of 11. Miscellaneous descriptions and Mining Shares present no new features. Land Shares are recovering from the late depression. THE PRESS. The Moniteur of this morning publishes the molitlily debtor and creditor account of the Bank of France made np to the 12th June. The stock of bullion amounts to 11,451,8481., being a mere fraction lower than last month; while the premiums upon the purchase of gold have fallen off from 63,8411. to 27,9771. The circulation is now 24,483,1901., and the dis counts have only fallen off to the extent of 595,8111. The return bears evidence that the Bank has been supporting the Bourse, fur its advances in Public Securities have in creased 321,0101., and on railways 120,548/. The aggre gate advances made by the Bank on these accounts is about 6,970,0001. BANK OF ENGLAND.
