It appears from recent quotations that gold is etc&
1-10th dearer in Paris than in London, and the English
mint price is nearly 1-10th per eertt, dearer in Hamburg
than in London. Consols opened at a fractional decline,
and showed increased heaviness before the close. A
general return of dulness has been witnessed in the
Stock Exchange. There has been a full demand in the
discount market at the Bank rate, but in the Stock
Exchange the supply of money remains ample at z to

2f per cent. Letters announce that the wtiole of the
specie of the Malabar, abott £280,000, has been
recovered. About £40,000 in fine gold was sent to the
Bank.—Xistas.

The funds continue subject to atmospheric influences,

with the return of rain, which has caused a further
slight advance in the corn market. Consols have fallen
per. cent. The purchases of gold by the Bank contri-
bute to restrain the downward tendency. The share
markets were extremely dull. British railway stocks
in several instances were weaker. The principal featare
in the Stock Exchange was the continued demand for
American railway securities. There was no new feature
in the discount market. A further sum of £40,000 in
Australian gold was sent into the Bank. About £14,000
was taken for abroad, in addition to a moiety of the
£20,000 by the Canada. During the past week there
there have been daily increasing transactions in London
in American securities.—Dally News.
