As usual on Saturday, the discount market is
quieter to-day, but the rate for first-class three
months' bills is maintained at 6 per cent., the Bank
minimum. There is a fair inquiry in the Stock
Exchange for short loans on government securities,
at 5 per cent.

The rates of discount in most of the markets on

-1 burg, 3} ; Turin, 64 ; Frankfort, 3 ; Amsterdam

1 A telegram received from Madrid states that
the government has adopted the amendment to
the bill before the Cortes, and, as a consequence
of this the Passive bondholders will receive
6,003,040 reales, or say 60,005 L, yearly, on ac-
count of, instead of in lieu of (as originally pro-
posed by the government), the securities granted
by the law of 1851.
The following iv an extract of a private letter
from Madrid, dated the 13th inst. :
The present cabinet cannot remain long in power, because
Mon is losing very much inthegeneral opinion, being regarded
as a great nullity, having no position of hie owe. His col-
league, the Minister of FMance (SaLverria), has created by
his Amaral measures greet discontent amongst the nume-
rous parties interested is olstandag a liberal hoe of conduct
on the part of the government, such as would have promoted
progress in general, and benefited many undertakings which
remain paralysed. Therefore the interests of numerous
people are prejudiced by M. Salaverria's proceedings, sod
that is the muse of the reaction that has taken place within
these few days against him sad Moe. It is evident now
that a change of ministry will take place.
Owing partly, no doubt, to the fall in the value
of money here, there was rather more demand yes-
terday afternoon for bills on the continent, and the
tendency of the rates was slightly unfavourable.
