present hour. As compared with the final quota-

Mexican, Spanish Passive, Portugnese Scrip, and

The diminution in the drain of gold, though a
feature of extreme importance, does not seem to
have as yet produced much effect on the discount
market, which yesterday was but slightly easier than
on Monday, good bills not being generally taken
below 81 to 9 per cent. At the Bank of England
too, wbere the terms are still 8 per cent. for dis-
counts, and 9 per cent. for advances, the demand
yesterday was large, and showed scarcely any abate-
ment as compared with Monday. Nevertheless,
the supply of money in the general market is very
considerable.

Monday's telegrams from Vienna announce an
improvement in the tone of the Bourse.
The news from America being regarded as very
disastrous to the Confederate cause, the Confederate
Loan has yesterday experienced a fresh fall of about
6 per cent., closing heavily at 35 to 38, although a
rumour was circulated in the afternoon that the
latest &dykes from New York were somewhat leas
eaoouraging for the Federals.
Several large orders having been countermanded,
only about 39,000 sovereigns were taken from the
Bank yesterday for exportation to Brazil by the
Magdalena, which will leave Southampton to-day.
The total in gold engaged up to yesterday after-
noon for despatch by that vessel was 123,7001. On
the other hand, 1,5001. in bar gold was sent into
the Bank yesterday.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
quoted about the same as on Friday, but the ten-
dency was not very favourable, bills on several con-
tinental places being in demand. The rates were as

Tho following is from the monthly hide circular
issued yesterday by Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks,
and Co. :

The hide market has not shown au y material *iterating
dune( the past month, a steady demand having been expe-
rienced op to the present time; but the advance io the Bank
rate of discount, viz., on the 2nd to 7, and on the 3rd inst.
to 8 per cent., will, we fear, teed to restrict operations, and
may lettuces. prices. Hideo—Silted Ox and Cow—South
A:aerie...a have bees In steady request at Lite rates. Ann
trsliaa meet with • good demand, sod Melbourne, Ist heavy,
have realised as advance of id. per lb. Cape brought fall
prices. Salted horse hides have been in fair demand at late
rates. Eon India kips have sold freely throughout the
Fast mouth, but at the anise of public salee on the 3rd inst.
pnoes declined id., and in some instances hi. per lb. English
market hides have been in good request, but within the last
few days prices have tended in favour of buyers. The
leather market has been steady, and an average amount of
busies's is reported for the time of year. North sod South
American Furs and Skies—Furs continue quiet. Newfound.
land and Greenland Seal Skins—Sales have Leen made at
lower rates. Canada and Western deer are much inquired
for ; the January beaver and musquash sales will take place
as the 20th and 21st proximo.

Messrs. Letts and Son, whose well-known Diaria
and Parket Books obtained a prize medal at the Inter- '
national Exhibition, have just issued the editions
for the year 1864 in groat variety. The fulness and
judicious selection of the information contained in
these diaries, and the well-known excellence of the
workmanship, recommend them in an especial man-
uer to the use of the commercial public.
