of the speculative foreign bonds and home rail-
mils, i te I

The - discount market is quiet to-day and

6} to 6 per cent., and a large amount of money is

yesterday. The fresh advance in the value of money
is expected to check the demand for gold for ex-
port, but the remittances to Spain will probably
continue. The 81,0001. by the Etna, from New

sent to the East, however, by the steamer which
will leave Marseilles to-day.
