MARKETS._

New YORK ItiONIT 14111KR1:11ARcK 31.—The long
passage of many of the packet ships having on board coin,
combined with the operations of the sub-treasury law, which,
while treasury notes are above par, habitually draws from
the banks their specie funds, caused some stricture in the
money market during the early part and middle of this
month. But the coin by the Hibernia, which reached Bos-
ton on 20th, and that dropping in from time to time in
packet ships—the tette is the American Eagle, arrived
here yesterday, having on board about half a million—have
relaxed the prewar°, and the banks moreover keep up their
lines of discount. Exchange on Europe has ruled very low
for some weeks; though for this packet it seems to have eel.
lied a little, and large sales have been made at from 41 to 41
for sterling ; for franc. the quotation may be put at
Large amounts of sterling have been sold at and a shade un-
der 4 per cent., and been bought mainly with a view to be
remitted for the purchase of coin.
