tight during the week, and the market more than sufficiently supplied with Stock, so that sales were rather forced and the quotations dull. The Bank returns continue from week to week to exhibit a rapid drain of bullion, which is exported to the Con tinent, India, and the East in large masses for the supply of a demand that appears insatiable. On Tuesday and Wednesday the Bank are understood to have effected sales of Stock to the amount of 650,0001., and next day, at the usual meeting of Directors, the rate of discounts was further increased from 4 to 41 per cent. This step coming but a single week after the previous advance from 31 to 4 took the public by surprise, and enhanced the diffi culties experienced in obtaining accommodation, as well as contributed to depress the market generally. The Directors evidently regard with some apprehen sion the departure of so much hard cash from their cellars, and wish, if possible, to put an effective stop to the outflow of bullion. The fluctuations in the price of Consols from day to day have been as follows :—Saturday 90, 9L ; Monday 91; Tuesday, at the opening 911 l b and at the close 901 j, for money, and 91 for the account of the 12th October; Wednesday, 90 1 1; Thursday, 901 2. To-day Consols were quoted at 901 to 901 for money, and 992 to 901 for the 12th of October. India Stock, 229. India Bonds, 20s. prem. Exche quer Bills, 12s. to 13s. prem.; ditto Bonds, 1001. More than half a million of gold-dust and bullion has arrived since this day week. On Monday the receipts included 345,0001. in dollars from New York, and gold-dust from Port Phillip ; and yesterday 176,5001. more came to hand from the same quarter, in addition to sundry smaller parcels. Another half. million, at least, is also known to he on its way home from Australia in vessels which will shortly be due. 890 SHARES. The movements in the Share Market have been trifling, and the general business transactions are un important. One the whole, the tone of the market has been flat, although the weekly traffic returns published this morning bear a favorable aspect, exhibiting a marked increase over the corresponding receipts of last year on nearly all the principal lines.
