MONEY KARKETe-(THIS DAL)

Two o'Orocw.
This being the day for striking the half-yearly
balance at the Bank of Bugland, the transfer offices
at that establishment are shut, and the Stock Ex-
change is likewise closed, according to custom. No
business is consequently going forward in public

securities.
The discount market is quieter to-day, but the
general rate for the best paper is still 7 per cent.,
the transactions at t being exceptional. Although
the Stock Exchange is closed, some of the principal
dealers in money connected with
and that establioansshment
came to the City this morning, some lon
English government securities were renewed by
them till to-morrow at 6 per cent.
Of 624,2121., which will have to be applied this
quarter to the reduction of the national debt, a
first portion was invested yesterday by the govern-
ment broker in the purchase of 20,000/. New Three
per Cent. stook. -These purchases will be con-
tinued for some weeks to oome.
It is stated that the applications yesterday to the
General Credit Company, with a view to convert,
by the holders of Turkish ConsoHails, have decidedly
increased. Upwards of one-half of the total amount
to which the conversion applies has now been
brought in, and it is believed that the operation
will proceed with increased rapidity until the 14th
November. After that date the conversion will be
no longer open, unless at au abatement of 10 per
cent. in the terms.
About 50,0001. in bar gold was sent into the Bank

yesterday.
It appears that, owing to the prevalence of bad
weather, about 200,0001. in Mexican dollars, lying
at Tampico, were not shipped by the steamer Seine,
which has just arrived with the West Indian and
Mexican mails. This amount, therefore, will
doubtless come forward by the packet due at the
end of November, together with a further large
sum in gold and silver.
The Holmsdale, with 428,0001 in gold, has now
been at sea 80 days from Australia ; the William
Duthie, with 130,5001., 105 days ; and the Maid
of Judah, with 192,5001., 75 days. The total is
751,0001.
The silver market continues firm, owing to the
demand for the East, and the quotation for bars is
steady, at ss. Ifd. per ounce.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
steady, and, upon the whole, there was rather less
demand for the means of remittance to the con-
tinent. The rates were as follows :
Amsterdam, 3 months, 12.24 to I ; ditto, 3 days, 11.194
to 12.04 ; Rotterdam, Smooths, 12.21 to I; Antwerp. .)

The Board of Trade returns for the month of
September show a decided expansion of export
trade during the month in questioD-a movement
for which the reports from the various seats of
manufacturing and other industry had fully pre-
pared us. As was anticipated, moreover, the chief
increase in the exports is to the United States.
This is clearly exhibited by the following statement
of the exports to that country of a few of the prin-
cipal articles of home production or manufacture
during the month, viz. :
