Two o'Ccocx.
The operations in the English funds to-day have
been restricted, and the price of Consols has fallen
back though the decline is rather attributable
to the absence of business than to any more
active influencing cause. Still the uncertain aspect
of political affairs in France is exciting a larger
share of anxious attention than for some time
past, and doubtless exercises an injurious in-
fluence on the market, even if it be only
by inducing a greater amount of caution, for of spe-
culative operations for a fall in prices the market
presents little appearance. This not being a public
transfer day, prices arc deprived of the support
usually afforded by the investment of the government
broker.

Consols have receded from the opening quotation
of 961 to 97, to 961 toy cx div. for the opening of
the 17th July. For money one or two bargains are
reported by special transfer. The official report
states transactions in Three per Cent. Consols (shut),
at 971 with div. for money ; ditto for the opening,
97, 961, ex div. ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 971,
New, Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent., 981', 1, 1.
Long Annuities 1860,7-l6; ditto 30 years 18)9, 71.
Bank Stock, 212, 2111. India Stock, 263.
Exchequer Bills remain depressed, though with
little doing, either in the way of selling or inquiry.
The 1,000/. Bills mark 435. premium ; ditto, 5007.,
41s. and 445. In India Bonds, no business is re-
ported.
The foreign stock market is quiet, no description
having attracted more than a very moderate
amount of attention; nor have prices generally
undergone any quotable change. Mexican Bonds
were quoted worse after the close of the regu-
lar official hours on Saturday, the uncertainty
as to the payment of the July dividend being the
reason assigned, and to-day the stock opened
heavily, business being marked as low as 34, but
a rally has since accurred, and the last figure noted
is 34; for the account. Today's list of actual trans-
actions is limited to: Brazilian Old Five per Cent.
Bonds, 891; Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 551 ;
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 921; Dutch
Four per Cent. Certificates, 901. Mexican Bonds,
341.; ditto for account, 27th June, 34, 341. Portu-
guese Four per Cents., for account 331. Rus-
sian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1021, 4, Spanish
Active Five per Cents, for account, 201, a; ditto
Three per Cents., also for time, 403.

SATURDAY EVINING.
The discount market is without change. Money
is not so abundant, but with the forthcoming divi-
dends a fresh supply will come in.
The Bank of England returns are chiefly remark-
able for the continuous increase in the bullion. _

The Bank of France returns for the week ending
Thursday, the Lth of June, show the following
results (25 francs tbr 10:

Bullion:

£23,461,314 Increase £:133,003

Bullion on deposit —157,597 Decrease 4,133
Circulation

Public deposits
Private deposits 5,188,395 Increase 72,110
Bill• discounted 4,242,6,51 Decrease 236,916
Government securities 7,047,600 Decreue 40,887

The increase of the bullion in the Bank of France,
it will be observed, is not so great. The supplies of
bullion are now chiefly kept up by the large remit-
tances of the American steamers, through Havre.
The returns of the Bank of Vienna to the 3rd of
June arc as follows
Bullion

Discounts
3 459 397 Decrease

Circulation 24:399:141 Decrease 429,•446
It will be observed that these returns continue to
show a very great improvement in the currency of
Austria, which is of the more importance now that a
loan for the complete restoration of that currency is
talked of. The proportion of bullion to circulation
has now reached one•sizth. _ .

The price of gold yesterday at Paris was L per mille
discount (new tariff rate), which at the English mint
price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 25.04, and the exchange at
Paris on London at short being 25.023, it follows
that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.

By the latest advices, the price of gold at Ham-
burg is unchanged at 425 per mare, which, at the
English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d.
,per oz. for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.0, and the ex-
change at hamburg on London at short having re-
ceded to 13.41 it follows that gold is 0.117 per cent.
dearer in Hamburg than in London.
By last accounts, the course of exchange at New
York on London, for bills at 60 days' sight, is 1101
per cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that
the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in favour of
England. Upon taking into consideration the dif-
ference of interest and charges of transport, we find
that the present rate leaves a profit on the importa-
tion of gold from the United States.
The dollars by the Dee were sold at 4s. 111 d. per
oz. There is no change in the bullion market
at home or abroad. American eagles continue to
be imported, being found a convenient remittance It
is not unlikely they will supersede patriot doubloons.
The present quotations of the market are thus
given by Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins :—Bar gold,
3/. 17s. 9d. per ounce standard; American gold
eagles, 31. 16s. lid. per ounce; bar silver, without
gold, ss. Old. per ounce standard ; bar silver, con-
taining gold (all gold above 5 grains in the pound to
be paid for), ss. lld. per ounce ; Mexican and South
American dollars, 4s. llid. per ounce; Spanish pillar
dollars, 55. Id. per ounce; United States dollars,
4s. Ild. per ounce; quicksilver in bond, 3s. ed. per
pound.
The imports of bullion during. the week have in-
cluded 2,3561. by the Iberia Peninsular and Oriental
steamer (7401. from Gibraltar, 1,8161. from Lisbon) ;
950/. in gold dust by the Sir Robert Peel screw-
steamer, from the West Coast of Africa • 112,0331.
by the Dee, from the West Indies • 3,2021. by tho
Teviot, from the Brazils ; and 150,060 dollars by the
Cambria, from the United States. The total imports
arc about 130,0001.
The large sum of 800,000 dollars was brought by
the Franklin for Havre and Bremen from the United
States.

The amount of the precious metals exported direct
from London during the week ending Thursday last
we learn from official sources, was 472 ounces of gold
coin despatched to Hamburg, and 170,426 ounces of
silver, which latter metal was shipped as follows,
viz.:—Silver bars: To Boulogne, 1,036 ounces; to
Dunkirk, 700 ounces; to Rotterdam, 3.5,000 ounces. ,
Silver coin : To Belgium, 43,000 ounces; to Bou-
logne' 4,390 ounces; to Dunkirk, 30,000 ounces; to
Rotterdam, 50,000 ounces. The total value of these
exports is about 44,4001.
Besides the exports from the port of London, the
Madrid, Peninsular and Oriental steamer, took out
20,0001. for Lisbon ; and the Severn, for the Brazils,
33,000/. The remittances for the Cape appear in the
London returns. _ _ _

In the Er recta of Friday we gave, in advance,
our usual analysis of the traffic returns ou most of
the English lines of railway for the lee week, which
showed a most satisfactory comparison with last
year. Herapalk's Journal now furnishes an analysis
of the returns for the whole of the United Kingdom,
which is also very favourable. The total receipts on
6,140 miles amounted to 292,190/, which is equal to
471. 10s. per mile per week. In the corresponding
week of 1850 the amount was 251,0821. on 5,743
miles, or 441. per mile per week. There is thus an
increase of 41,1081., or 16.37 per cent., in the gross
receipts ; an increase of 397 miles, or 6.91 per
cent., in the mileage ; and an increase of
31. 10s. in the amount received per mile
per week. The Railway Times estimates the total
traffic returned since the Ist of January at 5,450,5861.
