The stock markets are firm to-day, owing prin.
cipally to the arrival of nearly 600,0001. in gold,
a large portion of wl.ieb is expected to be
sent into the Bank of England next week.
Prices, however, have experienced few changes,
the amount of bus'ness being small, al usual
on a Saturday. The funds are inquired for,
and the advance which took place yesterday
is fully maintained. Some of the British railways
and foreign securities are better, the chief upward
movement being in Italian of 1861. There is a
slightly increased demand for bank shares, but
financial descriptions are still neglected. United

very limited scale, and the rate for choice paper is
per cent, below that cur:ent at the Bank.

The shipments of gold to Egypt to pay for cotton
on English account are expected to be on a consi-
derable scale during the next two or three months,
but most of them will be made via Marseilles, in-
stead of Southampton, as by the former route a
considerable saving of interest is effected. The bulk
will consist of sovereigns, and the rest probably
of napoleons, which are usually collected in the
various continental cities, but chiefly in Vienna.
Remittances of this coin to Alexandria will moat
likely also be made from Trieste, as on previous
occasions. The cotton season in Egypt is now
about commencing, and the crop is described as a
good one, the rising of the Nile two or three
weeks ago having caused only a trifling amount of
damage. The flood of gold which will thus be
poured into Egypt ought to give a great impulse
to the progress of that country.
