MONEY MARKEZ-TILLS DAY.

Two o'CiooK.

The hinds to-day are rather firmer, and present an
advance of i per cent. Little business is going
forward, but the market derives support from the
firmness of the Paris Bonne.

now quoted 961 to 961. Buenos Apes

markets is extracted from the circular of Messrs.
W. I. and B. Thompson :

The oskrial markets: which opened rather heavily, sad,
for severed kinds of produce at lower rates hays closed with
more spirit end firmer. For sugar then wee cot mare
ocdvity at the cenumenonaent of the week, and a
deraiplions sold at rates is favour of buyers; today
ores
inquiry misted at somewhat improved quotations. The seise
of coffee have bees numerous, sad, ezoept for bold ooiory
aorta, have gene at about dd. to Is. decline; for the native
kinds there has been more deamod. Baltpere continues in
request, and shows a farther rise of le. to le 6d. per cwt.

there has been slightly improved demand for parcels on the

The item that best deserves attention is that of
" other deposits," which presents a decrease of
811,1881., although on the Wednesday the FAA1
India Company received from the Bast Indian Rail-
way Company the large sum of 818,0001. It is evi-
dent that Minters' balances must have been trenched
upon to a considerable extent to make this payment,
and that readier employment le now found for money
in the open market. It will be remarked, however,
that the increase in the government deposits
neutralises the decrease in the " other " deposits.
The decline of 168.3371. in the " other" securities
probably represents bills which arrived at maturity
on the 4th. The decrease in the bullion is not of

such importance.
The Gamete statement of the movement of the
precious metals for the week ending Wednesday
last gives the following totals, viz.:—lmports o
gold, 128,239 L; exports of gold, 380,1101. ; imports
of silver, 88,0211.; exports of silver, 192,8091.

The funds opened this morning at an &drama of e
per mat-, owing to the reduction in the rate of dis-
count of the Bank of France from 4 to 9i per gent.,
and tot he enormous accumulation of gold shown in the

monthly return of that estabbehnewst. No animation
wea displayed, however, and it being evident that nu-
merous speculators on the Paris Bourse have availed
