The following, on the ilk market, is from the
monthly circular of Messrs. Durant and Co., dated
yesterday :

us the part of importers, and a degree of speculative action
on the part et igen resulting in an advance of folly le,

about a fortaight. Dories the last ten days the mark- t ias

caution and throwing cootiessial useallactarars especially
upon European silk ; the arrivals too have been rather
limited, in feet till the last few days we were left appa-
rently almost without silk. This month we are likely to
receive about 6.600 balsa. Japan silk hat shared to the
full extant in the general improvement. Of Bengal silk we
cannot report so favourably, but even this clue is appa-
rently less dead. In Feriae silk the shames of coarse
Chi= sod Cantos silk has caused some little enquiry. The
east periodical public sales are fixed to commence on the
21st instant.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Oct. 7, compared with that for
the previous week, shows the following changes :

The changes shown in this return are again of •
decidedly unfavourable character. The government
disbursements at the turn of the financial quarter
have not prevented an increase in the public de-
pollute, but the activity of the commercial demand
for money has caused extensive withdrawals of
private deposits. The addition lately made under
the head of private securities being at the same time
fully maintained, the reserve presents a fresh re-
Auction of 672,8231. There is also a further
decrease of no less than 421,8481. in the coin and
bullion, although during the week under notice the
amount of imported gold sent into the Bank was
about 120,0001. in excess of the sum officially re-
ported as withdrawn for exportation. A continued
and, under the circumstances,. remarkable ab-
sorption of coin in the province.* is thus indicated.
