The demand for money at the Bank on Saturday
wssrather active, but not pressing. In Lombard-street
the business was only moderate. T discount
establishments are almost oppressed by the mass of
money poured in upon them now that their rates for
loans have been raised, yet, having no longer the
Bank of England to fall back upon, they are very
caution' indeed in all their transactions. First cliee
bills having a few weeks to run would not be
refused at 41 per ant., but the bulk of the current
bushier is traneacted at a decided advance upon the
Bank minimum.

The drain of gold from the Bank continues. The
amonut withdrawn on Saturday was 92,0001., mak-
ing a total of 176,0001. since the date of the return
just published.
Some of the Paris letters mention an impression
that the Bank of France will ere long be compelled
to raise their rate of discount from 4 to 5 per cent.
The monthly return of this establishment will be
published next Friday.

settlement, Consols will be quoted e.r the half-yearly

York, 76,80 W. by the City of Baltimore; 10,0001. by
the Vanderbilt, and 16.4001. by the Lebanon, all
four from New York ; 67,3021. by the Avon, from
Brasil; 2,0881. by the Sultan, from the Peninsula;
and 6,0001. by the Hope, from the West Coast of

port of troops and munitions of war. The increase
m the receipts of the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterra-
nean Company, for the last weak, was 26,8001. com-
pered with the corresponding week of lsat year. A
better idea of the energy displayed in the military
arrangements is afforded, however, by the fact that
the increase compared with the previous week
is 20,2001.
