tially changed. It remains pretty much as described
in our last, the demand, both commercially and gene•
rally, perceptibly enlarging, while the feeling of con-
fidence that is now happily established effectually
maintains the supplies. With regard to rates, the
minimum upon the best two months' bills is two
and a half per cent., with discriminating terms up to
three per cent.; and for longer dated paper, such as
four and six months, nothing is done at less than
from three to four per cent. In the course of the
week considerable payments have been made on
account of the final instalment of the second Indian
loan, and some payments have been made in antici-
pation of the balance of railway payments due this
month. These incidents have swelled the demand ;
but their effect upon the market has passed
away, arid it may be considered free from any con•
siderable weights of calls, except those arising from
the requirements of general trade. At the same time
we see no reason to modify our opinion, that, before
the end of the year, advanced rates may be expected.
With regard to bullion there is not much to say,
except that the supplies from Australia, anticipated
by the Agincourt, the Dover Castle, and the Marco
Polo, are still delayed, probably by the easterly
gales, which have been extremely violent. But we
have received that brought by the Lincolnshire, and
also that which was brought to Suez by the mail
steamer. The latter, which amounted to 170,0001,
arrived on Saturday, and was at once purchased for
export to the Continent. That by the Lincolnshire
was delivered on Monday, and, with the exception of
about 70,0001., the whole was also taken for the Con
tinent. The Magdalena, which arrived today from
the West Indies, brought 183,2501. Altogether the
arrivals since our last amount in round numbers to
775,0001., while the known exports, up to last night,
reached 631450/. All the fine gold brought by the
Magdalena is sure to be taken for export. The
general effect of these movements upon the stock of
bullion in the Bank up to Wednesday is shown by
the above comparison. With regard to the future,
the Exchanges from the United States are becoming
less favourable, so that any large amounts cannot be
expected from that quarter, while the continental
aemand is not yet satisfied. A large portion of the
overdue supplies from Australia are, already, provi•
sioually appropriated for export; and if their receipt
is delayed a few days longer we may look for some
reduction in the stock held by the Bank. The
amount of silver taken for the East is less than was
expected, but it is still large, and promises to
increase.

English Securities for the greater part of the week
have shown a moderate degree of firmness, particu-
larly yesterday and on Wednesday, notwithstanding
an almost unexampled degree of dulness and want
of animation in business. In the early part of the
week there was some tendency to decline, and
the same disposition was manifested to-day, owing,
almost wholly, to the stagnation of business. Indeed,
the main support of the market has been the accru-
ing dividend; while the public have been restrained
from purchasing by the larger means that are
opening for the employment of capital, and by the
general tendencies of the Money Market. The
railway traffic receipts are improving, and they have
caused considerable firmness in some of the heavier
shares, though to-day there were slight symptoms of
a reaction.

Consols, which left off this day week at 98} to f,
were on tuesday at 98, but they were steady for the
next two days at 98} to To-day they were flat,
and closed at 981 to During the week there have
been some good money purchases in Reduced and
New Three per Cents., and the Stock Exchange has
been well supplied with money.
The movements in Foreign Securities have to
some extent followed the course of Consols. Peru-
vian Uribarren Bonds, and the Dollar Bonds, have
been in demand, and the new Turkish Loan has
been in more favour. In proportion, also, a large
business has been done, though the market to day
was inactive.

The improvement in the traffic receipts, particu-
larly for merchandize, which has taken place in most
of the trunk lines, has had a good effect upon the
value of railway shares; though the highest prices
hate not in all cases been fully maintained. Stock,
however, has not been pressed for sale, and there
seems to be a general opinion that unless the value
of money advances the level of railway securities
has been reached. At all events only such fluctua-
tions are expected as are incident to the ordinary
occurrences of the day.
Banking Shares remain very steady. Most of
these establishments are doing a good business, and
the half•year's profits are expected to be not less
satisfactory than those of the previous half. West.
minsttrs advanced to 50 on Wednesday, but they
are now slightly lower.
Atlantic Telegraph Shares are neglected altogether,
though ther remain nominally at 820 t.) 350. Red
Seas are at fto f prom. Indian and Australians
to prom.

Miscellaneous Shares quiet and rather dull.
Exchequer Bills are slightly flatter. The present
quotations are 339. to 365. prem. for the March, and
2ss. to 3[s. prem. for the June descriptions.
The fusion of the Limbardo.Venetian Railway
with the Vienna and Trieste and other railways was
unanimously aaTeed to at Vienne yesterday by the
shareholders of the furmer.

The " Great Steamship Company" is now tho.
roughly organized, and they have issued their pro•
spectus inviting the public to supply the capital
necessary to complete the Great Eastern and fit her
for sea. The first year's profits are estimated at
fifteen per cent. The proposal has been ver►
favourably received, and no doubt is entertained that
the money will be raised, especially as the facilities
for it. are now very considerable.

It is understood that the firm an for the contem•
plated Bank of Turkey has reached London.
A plan has been adopted by the London bankers
which will be put into operation on Monday next for
the purpose of clearing country cheques.
The Provincial Trade Reports this week are gene.
rally satisfactory, unless it be in some departments
of the linen manufacture, in which it is proposed to
work short time. The proposal has not been adopted
yet.
