The discount market was quieter yesterday, and,
though there was little disposition in any quarter
to take even choice bills below 3e to 4 per cent.,
the applications at the Bank of England did not
exceed a moderate total.

amount taken to that establishment yesterday was
34,0001.

with the mails from Calcutta, China, and Australia.
Private telegrams by this opportunity quote the
Shanghae exchange at 6s. 74d., being about the
same as that received by the previous English
packet. There is consequently no confirmation of
the important advance reported in telegrams which
came to hand two days ago, on the arrival of the
French mail steamer at Alexandria. The Hong
Kong exchange comes quoted now 4s. con-
firming a movement of id. in favour of England.
The Mexican dollars by the steamer La Plata
were sold yesterday for China at ss. 71d. per ounce,
showing a rise of 3.1 d. compared with the price
obtained for the previous remittance. The present
rate, however, is scarcely equal to that current
two days ago, when sales were effected at ss. 70.
The strong and continuous demand for China fully
explains the rapid advance in the price of this coin.
The bar silver by La Plata has yet to be disposed of.

holders of the Punjaub Railway to raise 500,0001.
