rather higher.

There was an active demand for money yesterday
in the discount market, and balances was not done be-
low 21 per cent. At the Bank the applications were
to a fair extent, but not at all pressing. The nume-
rous bills due yesterday (the 4th) seem to have been
extremely well met. In the Stock Exchange money
was abundant, and short loans on English govern-
ment securities were obtainable at 11 to 2 per cent.
There were no operations in gold at the Bank yes-
terday. About 100,0001. of the amount by the City of
Washington has been bought for exportation. The
Avon has arrived from Brazil with 37,8291. is
specie, and the Baron Osy, from Antwerp, with
about 30,0001. in silver.

In the.foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the
principal feature was a decline in the rates on Austria,
consequent urn the more favourable character of the

quoted more in favour of the foreigner. The other

shown below :

pany, on the spot, reiterates his belief that nearly
the whole of the gold will be discovered; it cannot,
he says, have been washed away.

The en joined weekly summary of the produce
markets is extracted from the circular issued last
evening by Meese. W. J. and H. Thompson :
The colonial markets continue inactive, and for several
kinds of prodaos quotations have still a downward tendency.
In sugar there is not any alteration to noise, low qualities
having been fiat, tut flue grocery sold with spirit at very
extreme rates. Coffee has been dril. The plantation kinds of
Ceylon went at barely lad week'svalus, and good native sorts
were rather cheaper In the public oaks. There is more in-
quiry for the line qualities of Bengal saltpetre at • recovery
of 6.1. per cwt. aloe is quiet, and the soft grain descriptions
barely maintain previous raise. At the quarterly Wee of
tionamon held on Moodey • brisk demand was experienced,
chiefly for first sorts, and nearly the whole quantity offered
met with borers at from Id. to H. per lb. advance. The tea
market remains dull, and new season's masons have sold
upon lower terms.

The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Nov. 2, compared with the pre-
vious weekly return, shows the following results:

The effect of the pressure for money which pre-
vailed at the Bank, especiaily on Wednesday, is
shown in the large increase in the " other" secu-
rities. It is somewhat remarkable, however,
that the addition to the private deposits was of
nearly equal amount. The decrease in the reserve
is consequently only moderate. The decline in the
bullion continues, but the variation is unimportant.
The Gaulle statement of the movement of the
precious metals for the week ending Wednesday
last gives the following totals, vis.:—lmports of
g01d,133,9871 ; exports of gold, 326,8861. ; imports of
silver, 256,8084 ; exports of silver, 241,2991.
