issatimed that France will not come into the
market as a borrower till that step becomes absolutely
Pecuniary. At the same time, it must be borne in
mind that, owing to the secrecy in which the mone-
tary position of the Treasury is enshrouded, we have
little means of judging how far it will he able to
meet the requirements of the late conversion of the
Five per Cent. Rentes, which must certainly bo very
large.
The transactions in foreign stocks were few, and
prices present little change, but there was an
absence of tho buoyancy noticed during the
week. Buenos Ayrean closed rather weaker
at 79. Mexican Bonds are steady at MI to
1. A general meeting of the bondhotders is called
for Friday next, for the purpose, as stated in the
advertisement, of " submitting a financial statement,
as well as for general business." Ecuador Bonds
were flatter, the accounts from Callao affording
ground for apprehension that the tranquillity of the
republic may be disturbed. The sales of the day
were as follows:-Brazilian Old Five per Cent.

The dividend payments which have been in pro-
' greet during the week have contributed to preserve
the money market fully as easy as last reported, and
the rates of discount have not varied. It may be no-
ticed, however, that the allowance of interest on de-
posits on call has shown a tendency to reduction.
The chief feature of the bullion market hue is the
continued fall (already reported by us) in the price
of silver, which is now worth only ss. per ounce in
bars. At Paris, a general rise has just taken place
in the quotations of specie and bullion, most consider-
able, however, in gold, hich is probably in demand
for remittance to England. Bar gold has risen to 4
to 5 prem. per milk, 20 franc pieces to 2to 3 prem.
per mills • bar silver, to 10 to 11 prem. per milk;
and English sovereigns, to 254 35c, to 40c.
American doubloons, however, form an ex-
ception, having fallen to 831 f. to 84f. United
States' gold coin is unchanged in value. At
Hamburg other continental markets the price of
o grads creeping up, and now steads
than for some months past.

The imports of specie and bullion this week com-
prise 13,000 dollars by the Niagara from New York,
200,000 dollars by the Pacific from the same port;
200,000!. in Australian gold by the Hero; 20,1701.
in gold by the Brazil packet Tay ; and 1,4601. by the
Iberia from Gibraltar and Lisbon. The total value
of tisane imports is about 260,000/.
The Custom-House return of the amount of the
precious metals exported from London during the
week ending Thursday last, is as follows:-Gold
coin : to Swan River, 4,650 oz.; to Hamburg, 184
OZ. •to Belgium, 300 oz. ; to Havre! 96 oz. Gold
cwt : to Calais, 12,000 oz. Silver coin : to Range-
-1 dam, 60,000 oz. ; to Hamburg, 4,069 oz. ; to Ilene
810 oz.; to Boulogne, 19,000 oz. ; to Belgium, 87,500
oz. Silver bars: to Rotterdam, 27,000 os. •' to Bou-
logne, 3,283 oz.; to Belgium, 25,000 or.; to Dunkirk,
4,000 oz. Cooper coin : to Swan River, 51. This
account is rather more lengthy than usual, and gives
a total of 230,664 oz. of silver, and 17,230 oz. of
rid of the aggregate value of 125,0001.
The only shipment of specie from the outports
that has been returned to us is a sum of 3,3001. by
the Tagus for Lisbon ; but it is well known that
there is a continuance of the shipment by sailing
vessels of sovereigns to Australia on account of our
merchants and bankers, u well as for the Australian
gold mining companies. We know of one firm hav-
ing lately sent out 200,000/. in this way ; one of the
gold mining companies has already shipped 60,0001.;
and numerous other op rations of a similar nature
are taking place from Liverpool and the southern
ports; but the amount of the shipments cannot be
readily ascertained. We have heard it estimated as
high as three quarters of a million during the hod
ten days, but this must be above the mark. There
is, however, no means of arriving at an accurate
