The subjoined report on the bullion market is
from the circular of Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins :
Bar Over eentiwar extremely restive, the only demand
being for shipment to Holland. The export to Iselin seems
for the premit to haveowed, sod is sot again likely to
revive until mare claimer prowls as to the future of the
cotton market, ea to which seek wereeding mail from
America seems to add increased useertainty. No resump-
tion in the inquiry for Mexican dollars for shipment to
China is as yet apparent. The few wananotions that have
taken place have boast ss. 03d.per oz.,but the total amount
sold has been ineoosiderable. Contrary to expectation,
the cosier rates prevails; for money during the past fort-
night have not imputed any faziness to the market, and it
is feared that on the arrival of the large parcel of dollars
shortly expected from Tampico, lower prices will have to
be accepted. Odd of all descriptions is in ooneidersble de-
mand, and the various amounts just to hand from America
ad Australia have been purchased for the Continent.
