In the market for foreign exchanges to-day the
tendency of quotations was downwards, a result that
is to be looked for at periods when political agitation
is rife on the continent. Hamburg was done from
13.71 to 81; Paris at 2.5.02 to 03 for short ; Amster-
dam at 11.181 to 19 for three months, and 11.17! for
short ; and Frankfort at 12q to The rate on St.
Petersburg declined, being done from 37 11.16 down
to 37,!. The tendency of this movement, it may he
observed, is to drive the exchange down towards the
point at which it becomes profitable to remit gold
from St. Petersburg to England. Vienna and
Trieste were a shade higher. On Spanish places the
rates showed flatness, particularly Madrid, which
was transacted as low as 50. There was a slight in-
quiry for paper on Genoa at 25.25 to 30. Leghorn
remained at 29.90. Transactions generally were
limited.

This return, when compared with the previous
week's balance sheet, shows the following re-
sults:—

Seven day and other bill, 1,390,023 Increase 86 339
The Rest
The Reserve 8,830,409 Decrease 532,018

This return is a very remarkable one, inasmuch as
the ordinary course of the balance sheet at this
period of the quarter is in several points most
materially disturbed by the government financial
arrangements. the decrease in the government de-
posits was perhaps caused by the paying off, during
the week embraced, of a large amount of the June
Exchequer Bills. By this means the saving of a few
days interest would be secured. It is also believed
that this item of publio deposits has during the last
fortnight been further reduced by the repayment to
the Bank of a former loan made to government.
The increase in the bullion is another important fea-
ture, and is owing to a portion of the late Australian
imports having been sent into the bank (as reported by
us in the week in question). This, combined with the
paying off of Exchequer Bills, may account for the
marked case of the money market since observed.
During the early part of the week included in the
above return, however, the demand on the Bank for
mercantile accommodation must have been extremely
heavy, thus confirming our anticipation. The in-
crease in the private securities is no less than
610,6431., of which probably a large portion was
caused by the demand to meet the new tea duties.
From the position of the private deposits, it would
appear that, of the Exchequer Bill money released
during the latter part of the week, the larger propor-
tion was simply transferred to this account. As a
consequence of these several changes, the active cir-
culation has been largely increased, and the "re-
serve" correspondingly diminished.
