The report Of •Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite is sub-
joined:
There has been a steady market for American securities
daring the past week. New York Central Seven per Beads
have been freely dealt is, and ekes strong at our quota.
Goss. Some small percale of Michigan Central Eight per
Cent. Bonds have been purchased. Pennsylvania Central
let Mortgage are wanted at 914. We note moderate tem&
actions in Cineinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton Bonds; Illinois
Central shares, and Freeland Bonds ; New York Central
Six per Cent., and New York and Erie Third Mortgage and
Sinking Fund bonds. With the prospect of a very heavy
fell lonians, and the tacreased (entities now offered Is
transact it, we look with great confidence to the results of
the three great lines forming one continuous system of nil-
ways, viz., the New York Central, Great Western of
Canada, and Michigan Central—and, unless checked by a
etrbagency in the massy marketore look for vary high prime
ter the sensitise of all thaws roads.
The Sydney Mercantile Journal, of the 16th June,
gives the following report of the Sydney share
market: _ _ _

Sure* our list report then has been some considerable
Im-
provenent in the share market, and some large transactions
I have taken place is the shares of 1 colonial banking
and other compacts', as well as in government securities, at
satisfactory prices, des.:—ln Commercial Bank shares, at
from 60 to 66 per cent. prem.; Bank of New South Walm,l
at 40 per cent. prom.; Australian Joint-Stock Bank, at
17e. 6d. and 20s. prom.; and also in railway shares at par.
These prism are a great Improvement upon former quota-
tions, which may be accoanted for In some cases by the sp-
peoachiox time for dividends, and the erases' of the holders
of the differeet securities. In New South Wales Govern-
ment Debentures there have also been several transactions,
at 921. 101. and 931. per 1004. debenture, being a dimwit of
2 and 2/ per cent. on the rates they are being issued at by
the government. This fact will go fez to show that the
present rate of interest payable on those debentures is not
sufficient to induce the colonial capitalist to edemas, the go-
vernment the Iseire sums required for the public roads and
works of the colony, the present value of money invested
fa the but government securities being now considered to
be worth at least 71 per cent. prem.
The position of the silk market is thus noticed by
Messrs. Durant and Co.:
We have had a month of fair current basin's, in silk at
radially stiffening prices, although home consumers have
been generally reluctant buyers. The deliveries are very
large. In China silk the demand has been chiefly for the
lower climes. We were without any arrivals of importance,
hence the great diminution in the stock on the lit inst. The
nalosding of the Stag Hound, now in progress, bee not
added mach to the stock of available silk, still the scarcity
and eamequest eagerness for certain qualities have enabled
impetus's to sell several paresis, and business is doing at fall
rates. In Bengal silk we have emstinued improved demand,
the relatively moderate priors forcing it again into large
Loasamptlea. In Italian silk we have nothing of moment,
the pikes asked for the new silk render it almost a dead
letter. In Benda silt we are without arrivals, except a few
bales reeled in Italian fashion, which find buyers at about
28a. Is Persian silk a few parcels have been taken for ex-
port ; but this is altogether a smell affair.

THURSDAY EVIXIDG.
The Directors of the Bank of England, at their
weekly board to-day, raised their minimum rate of
discount from 31 to 4 per csat. The measure having,
as usual, been anticipated by many parties, no fur-
ther unfavourable influence has been exercised upon
oesin the various departments of the Stook
Exchange. The English fuods closed even a shade
better than yesterday, parties who had effected
speculative sales in anticipation of the Bank measure
showing now a disposition to buy back. The Lom-
bard-street disoount-hosem this afternoon raised

thew rate for money "on call " from 3 to 31 per
seat., but on the whole the money market km been
quiet taday, after the pressure of the last few days.
