The Stratheden was to-day reported off the coast
with 9,137 ounces of gold from Sydney, valued at
about 33,0001. The dates brought by this vessel
are very old, extending only to the Ist of January.
The directors of the Great Indian Peninsular
Railway Company have just made a further call of
15s, per share, making the full amount of di. per
share. On the new shares of the South Austrahan
Company a call of 21.105. has also been made.

The market for foreign exchanger; to-day pre-
sented no material variation from the quotations of
last pout, but bills, generally speaking, were in de-
man, the supply being rather limited. Several
German houses had to remit to Hamburg and other
places against the receipt of Californian gold. Bilis
on that plane were consequently in great demand at
13.11, and business was even done in several
instances a shade below that quotation. Short Paris
was in request, and ruled at 23.421 to 45; ditto, three
months, at 23.60 to 65. Amsterdam remained as
before, at 12.2 to 21. For paper on Italy the in-
quiry was brisk, and negotiations were effected in
favour of sellers. Genoa was done at 25.621 to 671;
Iteghorn, 30.621 to 671; Naples, 404 to 1 ; and Messina
at 1221 to 1. In bills on Spain and Portugal business
was dull. Vienna and Trieste fluctuated a good
deal, drawers asking at first a very low =charge, but
as buyers did not come forward the price closed at
12.14 to 18 for Vienna, and 12.16 to 20 for Trieste,
with very little doing.
There is no change in the quotations of bullion,
and no particular movement in this market. It is
not thought that any material influence will be ex-
ercisul on the price of silver by the revival of the
demand for India, which is expected to be only tem-
porary. Present prices are thus reported by Messrs.
Sharps and Wilkins:—Bar gold, 34 17s. 9d. per oz.
standard; Columbian doubloons, 34 15s. 6d. per oz. ;
American gold eagles, 34 16s. 3d. per oz. ; bar silver
without gold, 4s. 111 d. per ox. standard; ditto con-
taining gold (all gold above 5 grains in the pound to
be paid for), ss. 04d. per ox.; Mexican and South
American dollars, 4s. 101 d. per a.; plating, about
15s. 6d. per ox.; quicksilver in bond, 3s. per lb.
