AM* hinds remain statirowy
,prise, with a
quiet business. The changes shown in the Bank
return are regarded with, some satisfaction, but
have had no effect upon the market. Bri-
tish railway stocks, however, are generally
rather better, particularly Midland, which
continues very scarce for transfer. The shares
of the Great Western Railway of Canada
have gien way. In other respects the business in
the Stock Exchange this morning has been devoid
.al interest.
At Paris this morning, aceOrding to Mr. Renter's

character.

An increased tendency to ease was observable yes-
terday in the discount market. The best bills were
taken readily at foi par oent., and in exceptional'

9th October, readied Pernambuco on the morning
of the 26th A.m.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon exhi-
bited indications of an unfavourable reaction, bills
on most of the continental cities being in demand.

The financial &deices from New York are un-
favourable. Money was tight and the exchanges on
Europe heavy.
The next mail from China, which is looked for
with considerable interest, will be due in London on
Tuesday.
It may be useful to remind holders of the Ca-
nadian Sterling Debentures that the conversion into
Canadian Consolidated Five per Cent. Stock will
be finally closed on the 30th inst.
Owing to the scarcity of Midland Railway stock
in the market a bonus was paid yesterday for the
temporary loan of it.
The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 1,6141.
The warreats for the half-yearly interest on
Buenos Ayres, and San Fernando Railway shares
are advertised as now ready fur delivery. It ap-
pears that a portion of the incomplete earthworks
of this railway was washed away by the repent
severe gale. The trifling loss (3,0001. or 4,0001.)
has demonstrated the necessity of a deviation of the
line, in order to provide against the recurrence of
any similar accident when the railway is complete.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Nov. 21, compared with that
for the previous week, showg the following changes :

Owing chiefly to the increase in the Treasury
balance there is an addition of moderate amount
to the "reserve." The small increase in the bullion
is doubtless occasioned by the reflux of coin from
the provinces. The changes generally are not of
much importance.
The Ga2ette statement of the movements of the
precious metals for the week ending Wednesday
last gives the following totals, viz.: imports of gold,
704,9941. ; exporni of gold, 809,8631. ; imports of
