The subjoined report on the bullion market is
from the circular of Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins :
The past fortnight has witnessed steady improvement
in the general tone of the silver market. The German de.
mend has decidedly increased, and indications are not
wanting that, in a short time, India may again make her ap•
in this market as &purchaser of silver. The tenders
=a: Indian Government Bills at the last allotment were
one mach more eztenrive scale than of late, and thane:ism yet ,
these bills are cheaper than silver as &MOM of remittance,
still if the demand continues at the present nits, the time
MB hardly be far distant when parclumes of silver for the
east will again' commenoe, the more especially II the cotton
market appear. to be daily gaining strength, while the
rates for money in this market are much lower. Notwith-
standing the very large anivals at silver from Mexico sad
