THE PItE S S, NOVEMBER 13, 1858.

This return would imply, from the decrease in the
Nate Securities and the addition to the Private
Deposits, that the demand for money is receding.
But it most be remembered that it is made up only
to Wednesday, and that the figures represent the
result of operations not in London only but in seven
or eight commercial towns. Besides, the beginning
of the month is always a period when securities
largely run off. The return, therefore, does not
accurately reflect, this week at least, the actual con-
dition of the London Money Market. The bullion
shows only a moderate decrease, and by the con-
tinuation of the circulation, through payments on
public account, the redemption of securities and
other causes, the reserve has been strengthened
rather considerably. Under all circumstances the
return is far from unfavourable.
The monthly Debtor and Creditor account of the
Bank of France, made up to yesterday, the 11th
inst., was published in the Moniteur this morning.
It shows a falling off in the bullion of 918,3931.,
which leaves the aggregate stock at 21,056,6241.
This is 2,553,7971. more than the stock in the Bank
of England. The discounts show an increase of
1,698,7351. ; and they now amount to 16,827,438/.,
showing that trade is gradually becoming more
active. The circulation is 27,633,7611., or 14,0661.
more than in the preceding month. There is an
increase of 205,348/. in the advances on railway
shares. The Treasury Deposits have fallen off
‘71,5791., leaving them at 4,232,845/. ; and the Pri.
late Deposits are 6,630,7901., showing a diminution
of 109,688/.
The aggregate stock of gold held by the two
Banks, the Bank of England and the Bank of France,
is now 39,559,45
The Foreign-office, this afternoon, issued a very
copious summary of the treaty between her Majesty
and the Emperor of Japan, and an abstract of the
regulations for British trade. The substance of
both has already been published ; but the regula-
tions, seven in number, contain clauses that fully
detail the engagements to be kept with the Japanese
Government. These will require the careful atten-
tion of our shipping and mercantile interests.
The Money Market is in a state of transition. The
lengthened period of ease that succeeded the previous
condition of tightness and scarcity—a condition
accompanied, too, by almost a general absence of
confidence—is being gradually supplanted by an
increased inquiry, a growing demand, and firmer
rates, the duration of which, abating natural fluctua-
tions, promises to be indefinite. In the present week
we have experienced a good deal of additional in-
quiry, much of which has arisen from commercial
enterprize, but more, for the present, from the ab-
straction of capital that cannot be otherwise employed
in tired undertakings. For example, in the current
month about 1,400,0001. will be absorbed out of the
market in railway calls, while large sums, more than
1,209,000/, have already fallen due in respect to the
lately-negotiated Turkish loan. Combining these
requisitions with those arising from an extension of
commerce, it is not surprising that the tendencies of
the market should undergo some degree of change.
and accordingly, though the supplies remain still very
large, the Bank has been doing rather more business,
and the rates outside have not been less than two
and a half per cent., while in many instances two
and three quarters have been paid. As capital comes
more into demand for commercial objects, we may
expect increased firmness in the rates ; and we be-
lieve we may safely prepare our readers for an
advance in the Bank minimum before the close of
the year.

Some amount of gold has arrived this week, and
a good deal is off the coast in the ship Lincolnshire,
which has brought 422,448/. ; but we hear nothing
yet of the Agincourt, the Dover Castle, or the Marco
Pole, each of which has large amounts on board.
The Weather has prevented the Lincolnshire from
making the river. The other arrivals have been
about 155,000/. from the United States, the whole of
Which has been taken for the Continent, and pro-
baoly before our paper is published to-morrow, the

Suez may be in hand. A large part of this amount

able, that it is more than probable a portion may be
taken by the Bank, especially as the Exchanges
bath on Tuesday and again to-day were looking a
little more favourable. Silver, however, is in demand
for the East. Fully 400,0001. are expected to be
sent out by the next packet. if this drain con-
tinues it is sure to affect the stock of bullion in the
Bank adversely.
Public Securities up to yesterday were dull, with
an unfavourable tendency. They were affected in
the first instance by the settlement of the monthly
account in Console, which disclosed a superabun.
dance of stock, and, next, by the prospects of the
..
°nel Market, in connection with the unsatisfied
demand for gold from the Continent. The letter of
the French Emperor intimating an intention to extin.
guish the quasi slave trade, which has excited so

much feeling here, the pacific assurances given
by Lord Derby at Guildhall, and the rumour,
almost semi-official, that a large reduction in
the effective force of the French army is under con-
sideration, gave immense satisfaction, and decidedly
arrested the unfavourable tendencies of the market.
Previously to these circumstances opinion, owing to
the want of information, was rather drifting in oppo-
sition to the Government and against the French
Emperor, and the misapprehensions so arising were
carefully fostered by the organs of the Opposition.
The feeling since has been one of enlarged confidence,
which, up to the present moment, even the prospect
of a tighter money market has not been able to shake.
Consols left off this day week at 971 to 98, and
they remained at about that price until after the
settlement had been effected. The market, indeed,
was fiat and heavy yesterday morning at the opening,
but it completely revived, and improved to 981 to I.
Indeed, at one time, 98i was touched. This morning
the opening price was 981 to f, and they remained
steady at that price until the final close. The busi-
ness of the week, except in connection with the set-
tlement, has not been important, and it was very
quiet to-day.
The principal movements in the Foreign Market
during the week have been in Peruvian Uribarren
Bowls, and in the new Turkish Loan. The former
obtained a considerable advance, which, however,
was not fully maintained, and the latter have fluc-
tuated considerably, in consequence of reports of
disturbances in Syria.

Firmness has been the main feature of the Rail-
way Market, particularly since the improvement in
Consols, and to-day the market was steady at the
advance previously established. Indian shares have
partially recovered, and French and Canadian
descriptions are better. But, as in the other markets,
business has been only upon a moderate scale.

Banking Shares maintain a strong position, and
during the week Australian descriptions have been in
some demand.

Atlantic Telegraph shares have been very little
dealt in. The price was about 340, but the nominal
rate now is 320 to 350. Red Seas are at a #to
prem., and Indians and Australians at prem. The
latter anticipate obtaining a Government guarantee
of four per cent. upon the capital.
Miscellaneous Shares have been very quiet the
whole week.

The demand for money has rather weakened
Exchequer Bills, and they were from Is. to 2s.
lower than this day week, but they ara still firmly
held.

The Provincial Trade Reports are generally
favourable. More business has been done in the
manufacturing districts, and the improvement in the
iron and hardware branches continues.

THE FOLLOWING is an EXTRACT
f.oni the Second Edition (page led) of the Translation of the
Pharmacopceia of the Royal College of Physicians in London, by
Dr.G. F. Coilier, puolisbesi by Longman and Co. :—" It is no
small defect in this compilation (speaking of the Pharmacopoeia)
that we have no purgative mass but what contains aloes; yet are
know that hemorrhoidal persons catnot bear aloes, except it be
in the form of COCKLE'S PILLS, which chiefly consist of
aloes, ecammony. and col.cynth, which I think are formed Into
• sort of compound extract, the acridity of which is obviated, I
suspect., by an alkaline proce!3s, and by a fourth ingredient
(unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic nature. I think no better
and no worse of it fur its being a patent medicine. I look at it
as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and do not
'emanate to say it is the best made pill in the kingdom : a mus-
cular purge, a mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge com-
bined, and their effects properly controlled by a di, agent and
corrigent. That it does not commonly produce haemorrhoids
like most aloetie pills, I attribute to its being thotoughly so.
