LONDON SPIRIT MANIIRT.—Rum is in full request at
ls. 84. to le. N. per gallon for proof Leewartis, and
Is. lid, for proof Etat India. In brandy, very little Ii
doing, at barely late rates. Grain spirit is heavy.
Ti s.—The demand for most kinds continues Inactive ;
nevertheless, we have very little ;Mange to notice in the
quotations. The current value of common sound Con-
goo is 9114, to 10e, per lb.
kica.i..—There is • fair demand for fine raw sugary,
and late rates are well supported. In low and damp
parcel., only a limited business is doing, at barely eta-
tlonery prima. Refined goods' are doll? at 521. 60. to
535. per net, for brown lumps. English crushed is
selling at 375. 6d. to 813 s. per cwt. The total stook of
sugar is 71,000 tone, against 63,000 tons last year.
The tionditioe of the Atlantis Telegraph was up to Fri-
day unaltered. Big:sale continue to be received, hut they
are too uncertain and faint to be intelligible. Occasion-
ally an entire word is given, but never anything approach-
ing to a sentence, The experiments made still lead to the
belief that the injury is Mar the coast—probably within
two or three miles. The strong portion of cable menu-
featured expressly for the chore hes now been shipped
from Plymouth for Valenti's, and will be substituted on-
medietely on its arrival in place of the ordidary wire
which, however well adapted for undisturbed depths, is
totally inadequate to resist the liability to accident on •
rocky coast. Transactions in the shares took piece
Thursday at 465 end 800, the letter being the closing
quotation. The order for shipping the shore-end at
Plymouth has been countermanded.
The monthly return of the Bank of Franoe shows an
increase of bullion to the same extraordinary extent as
on the last occasion,—the sum being £1,300,000, raising
the total now held to £23,7150,000, the highest point yet
attained. At the same time the stagnation of business
is indicated by a falling off at 2993.000 in the discounts.
There has been a further increase of £347,000 in the note
circulation, of £295,000 in the Government balances, of
£126,000 in the deposits, and of £120,000 in the advances
on Bente, and £40,000 in then on share..
The colonial produce-markets during the week have
been steady, but generally without animation. The ex-
port trade, contrary to expectation, has been compara-
tively quiet. The demand for home emutumption is,
however, sufficiently good to prevent any material de-
cline upon the leading staples. As the favourable reault
of the recent Dutch coffee sale was partly anticipated, no
further amuse in price is perceptible, desirable qualities
of plantation Ceylon, however, being 000asionally
rother dearer. Clean native growth has ranged from
475. 6d. to 50s. 64. per owl. Numerous &triode of
sugar, coupled with heavy landing, have again tended to
weaken confidence among the buyers, and, notwithstand-
ing the limited quantity offered, several dueriptions
went at • fall of 6d. to la. Teats eon, a moderate busi-
ness having been transacted at former rates. Common
eongon shoed at 194., and preferable 10id, per lb. Fri-
day the trade purehaesd to a limited extent, is the tele •

mantling relatively high rates. The operations in salt-
potre have been less 'atingle,. A few parcels Bengal,
