The market for the home funds has been char,,c-
terised by a feeling of flatness throughout the day,
and the appearance of a few cash sellers of Cfnisols
has reduced the money quotation 4.Fe r time
the price has ruled about the same as on F,atinday.
Business is languid, and the attendance of dealers
thin, and under these circumstances it it no difficult
matter for prices to be put the turn 'lower.

The bullion market at home and abroad is without
change. The product' of California is now a regular
element,but there is such an opening for the employ-
ment of gold. that there is no intmediate prospect of
any great change in the proportions of the two
bullion metals. The banks of the United States and
of England can still take large supplies of bullion
without disturbing their arrangements, but in the
meanwhile the immense expansion of trade in every
quarter has created a great demand for circulating
medium. It must, however, lx observed that atten-
tion is being directed more and more to gold mining
in all the South American regions. The present
quotations of the market are thus reported by Messrs.
Sharps and Wilkins, but at the rates quoted silver is
decidedly flat. liar gold, 3/. 17s. Sd. per ounce
standard; American gold eagles, 3/. 16s. 3d. per
ounce ; bar silver, without gold, 3s. ltd. per ounce
standard; bar silver, containing gold (all gold above
five grains in the pound to be paid tin.), Ss. 14d. per
ounce ; Mexican and South American dollars,
4s. 114 d. per ounce; quicksilver in bond, 3s. 6d.
per lb.
