MONEY ALEIKEZ-(THIS DAY J

Two o'OLooie

The transactions in the stock and share markets
continue upon • very limited scale, and prices
generally still present a drooping tendency. The in-
creased demand for money also tends to exercise an
adverse influence upon the value of public securities.
Consols have declined i per oent., and some British
railway shares fto i. The principal feature in the
market for foreign stooks is a rise of 1 per cent. in
Confederate Bonds, on the intelligence just re-
ceived from America.

The large amount of Mexican dollars by the
Shannon were sold yesterday for China at ss. id. per
ounce, showing a reduction of 21d., compared with
the quotation obtained for the previous supply.
There has been a decline, however, in the interval,
and looking at the extent of the present remittance
and the expected arrival of the steamer Planta-
genet, from Vera Ortiz, with a further total of
100,000/. in this coin, the rate now obtained is con•
sidered satisfactory. The value of this coin is also
prejudiced by the announcement from Shanghae,
that considerable supplies were being melted into
bar silver, owing to the latter carrying a premium.

open market is 6 per cent. • Hamburg and St.
Petersburg, 6} ; Turin, 7 ; Frilnkfact, 3 ; Amster-

Mr. Carey Bowden and staff proceed to Bogota
by the West India mail steamer sailing from
Southampton yesterday, to open the branch of the
London Bank of Mexico and South America,
under the concession granted by the United State*

had considerable business experience, having resided
ten years in Spain and having occupied positions
in the houses of Messrs. Mildred, Goyeneche, and
Co., and Messrs. Antony Gibbs and Sons, and has
only lately returned from Mexico, whither he had
been sent with Mr. White by Messrs. Baring

The return et the Bank of Kegland for the week
ending Wednesday, Aug. 31, oompared with that for
the previous week, shows the following changes :

Although the above return is somewhat adverse,
the changes are less unfavourable than might have

been expected. The falling off in the reserve is
comparatively =all, while the decrease in the odium
deposits canoed by the diminution of beckon?
balsams to meet the augmented demand for mosey,
has been in a great degree compensated 'by the in-
ermine in the public deposits. Coin appears to be
dill taken on country account, the addition to the
bullion being less than the amount of bar and
foreign gold known to have been sold to the Bank.
The share list of Hewett and Co. (Limited) will be
closed on Tuesday next, the 6th inst.
The Liverpool firm whose failure was announced
