The funds are stationary to-day, at the closing
quotations of yesterday, with very little
business. The changes shown in the Bank
return are regarded with satisfaction rather
than otherwise; but it has transpired that a fur-
ther largo amount of gold—rumoured to be between
200,0001. and 300,000/.—bas been taken this day
from the Bank of England for exportation. In the
share market the transactions have likewise been
limited, this being " making-up day." In two or
three instances prices are slightly lower.

It is understood that some further large parcels

be taken from the Bank of England for exportation
during the next day or two. There is an impres-
sion in some quarters that the amount is to be sent
rid Paris to Egypt, on account of the loan of
600,0001. which the Pacha recently contracted
at Paris.

no business is done below the Bank minimum.

ment reserved to themselves last year. Its cancel-
ment, as well as that of certain remnants of former
loans remaining in the hands of the government, is

The monthly return of the Bank of France, as
made up to Thursday last, the 11th of Oct., snows
the following results (the exchange taken at 215 f. to
the pound) :
Coin and bullion
Bills discounted lmmo 1,160,000
Notes in circulation bureau 40,000
Treasury deposits • Deerace 040,000
Private deposits
Advances on public securities Increase 80,000
The heavy decrease in the coin and bullion is
oocasionud by the deficiency in the French harvest,
which causes considerable importations of corn.
The effect of this is aggravated by the requirements
of the French expeditionary forces in Syria, Rome,
and China. The increase in the discounts is caused
by the movement in the bullion.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Oct. 10, compared with that

The demeese in the bullion is as large as was
expected, considering that the effect of yesterday's
withdrawal of 400,0001. will not be seen until the
next return. Upon the whole, however, the
changes shown above will have a teudency to allay
