The Freight Market is less animated, owing to
the abundance of tonnage offering for the East ;
outward rates are • lower, and merchants are
reluctant to operate, as their requirements are
well supplied, and they are anticipating a further
fall in the rates. Homewards rates are firm, but
there is rather less inquiry for tonnage. Timber
Freights are brisk, and a large number of ships
have been taken from Quebec, at from 32s to 34s
and from the lower ports at 753 to 82s 6d per
standard for deals. We have to note an improve-
ment in rates to U.S. ports. Passengers are
abundant, which affects freights favourably. Coal
Freights to New York have also advanced.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING.
The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH STocKsto-day
maintained a satisfactory appearance, and,although
business transactions were not of an extensive
character, a slight advance took place in the value
of Consols, which are now quoted 941 toy for
money, and 94! to fer next month. Bank Stock
has been dealt in at 226 ; Reduced Three per
Cents., 93 92i and 931; and the New Threes at
the same ; new Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 78
India Stock, 2191 ; Enfaced Rupee Paper, 971
Ditto. Five-and-a-half per Cent., 1033 and 1 ; In-
dia Bonds, 1 dis.; and Exchequer Bills, 6s. and
10s. pm. ; Ditto Small, 10s. pm.

The Funds closed at the following prices :

Consols Money
„ Consols,
944
Exchequer Bills
Bank Stock 224 6
Three per Cents
The following appeared in our second edition
of Saturday :
A slight advance in the English funds was followed
by a reaction, but after regular hours there was again an
upward tendency.. In the Stock Exchange, to-day,
money was_ abundantly offered on Conscils at 3! per
cent. At the Bank the demand for discount was
moderate, and in the open market short bills were
negotiated at a fraction below the Bank minimum. In
the foreign exchanges, this afternoon, there was a con-
siderable rise in the Paris rate. The quotations for
Amsterdam and Hamburgh are also slightly higher.—
Times.
The funds opened with firmness, and soon advanced
L per cent., but in the afternoon a relapse took place.
After the close of the Stock Exchange several pur-
chases were effected, and a rise of k per cent. was
quoted. Large parcels of Consols have been withdrawn
at the settlement just concluded. This stock is conse-
quently rendered scarce for immediate transfer. In the
share markets some dulness prevailed in the afternoon.
In the discount market _there is, perhaps, less pressure,
but only an favoured cases is business done at the Bank
minimum, the terms generally current being 5 per
cent. and upwards. Long bills are negotiated with
difficulty at onereas rates. There were again no trans-
actions in bullion at the Bank.—Daily News.
In the nines city article allusion is made to a report
that the discount firms, irritated at their exclusion by the
Bank rule which prohibits rediscounting, have resolved
to draw from the Bank as many notes as possible, to
lock these notes up, and thus to create a sense of scar-
city and an inconvenient advance in the Bank terms
that shall induce all business men to believe that they
are suffering through the inability of the discount housei
to help them, end that this inability is caused by he
exclusion of those houses from the Bank. The nines
professes to- give currency to this rumour only for the
sake of enabling an unequivocal contradiction to be
obtained without delay.

The Daily News asserts more the
leading firms have already withdra tb.
funds from the Bank. A portion they appear to have
lent in the Stock Exchange on Government, securities,
and now that the market is fully supplied they have
collected the rest of their immediate reserves in the
share of Bank notes and so held them. This is the
main cause of the remarkable changes in last night's
Bank reliant.
Last nigh.t's Bank return is described by the Times
as presenting • most singular features. The amount
of notes in circtiletion shows a further increase of
£1,600,000. The average to all required by the
public is between £19,900,000 and £20,000,000, and
they hold at this moment £23,467,000, compared
with the same period of 057, when the trade
of the country had reached a degree of inflation never
before known. The excess of notes row in use is
£3,715,000, or 19 per cent. No one, therefore, should
be able to complain of want of accommodation. But
the Daily News explains, that although a large amount
of currency has been withdrawn, it bas not passed
into active circulation, but is held in reserve by
the money dealers, who refuse to give the Bank
any longer the control of their resources for use,
as it may be said, against themselves. The conse-
quence of this antagonism of rival monetary powers is
an artificial scarcity, and merob ants are compelled to pay
rates far in excess of those warranted by the position of
trade, and of the foreign exchanges, The announce-
ment of an arrangement between the Bank and the
discount houses would release, perhaps, a couple of
millions of money.

day, though inactive, continued firm, and the
