The total amount of the to
metals exported
from London daring the week midis, Thursday last,
we learn from official morose, was 1,358,878 maces
of silver, shipped as fullows:—Stlvor bats. to St. Pe-
tersburg, 603,788 oz.; silver coin, to St. Petersburg.
1123.890 oz.; to Dunkirk, 200,000 oz.; to Belgium
W,OOO oz.; to Boulogne, 2,200 oz. There have boa:
so exports of gold during the week.
Bank shares have not attracted much attention this
week. The rates at which bosoms has been done are
as follows :—Commercial of Losdon (204 paid) at 24;
London Joint Stock (10 paid), at 171; Provincial of
Ireland (264 paid), at 44; South Australian (251.
paid),at 191; Union of Auetralia (254 paid), at 331 ;
Union of London (104 paid), at 121.
In dock shares then has been more movement.
They have been trs.osacted as under :—Commercial,
at 81; Best and West India, at 140 ex. div.; East
Country, at 21; Londe% at 131; St. Katharine, at
811 to 82 ; Southampton. at 81.
The business in the railway share market during
the week has not been brisk, and though most of the
stocks have maintained previous prime, still the tone
has been rather depressed, and in several listeners/.
especially in Lancashire and Yorkshires, there has
been a fall in value. Midlands have declined 11
per coot, in consequence of large sales made
es account of one of the Scotch banks.
Great Northern. have been also depressed,
chiefly owing to a report that the based have come
to a neolotion to offer to the shareboldere, in the first
place, 8,000 forfeited preference shares, at not less
than 101. 10a. each, and that in case of any !slog left,
they will be offered to the public on the same terns.
No new feature presented itself in the market to-day,
except that the tone at the close of business was per-
haps a shade boater. The closing prices, as compared
with them of last Saturday, show a fall cf 51. per

The railway traffic returns for the last week, it is
gratifying to us to be able to state, show a marked
improvement, as compared with the corrsponding
week of last year. The amount received on 5,405
milts is 259,2574 being at the rate of 481. per mile
per week ; while for the corresponding week last
year 227,5604 was received cn 4,812 miles, or at the
rate of 474 per mile per week. Triers is thus an
increase in the aggregate amoont received of 31,6971.,
and an increase in the mileage of 693, accompanied
with an increase in the receipts of 11. per mile per
week. On the subject of the agreement reported to
have been made between the Great Northern end
York and North Midland Director., Reropath's
Journal of this day has the following paragraph :
York sad North Midland Railway.—lt L reported that
the Great Northern and the above company have come to an
estemeat, the terms of which are, that the Great Northern
suall work their traffic over the York and North Midland
on paying GO per cone. of their gross receipts for the distance
run to the York and North Midland, and 1,0001. a year for
stating accommodation. This is not perhaps a bad bargain for
the York and North Midland, but decidedly a very good one
for the Great N,rthers, particularly in the maths rent. If
we remember correctly, the Northern and Eastern were to
give the Eastern C null-s 7.0001. a year for station rent in
Leedom. The York and North Midland are also to pay 60
per cent. ler runt.iog over the Great Northern. This agree-
ment is of count to be subject to the approval of the share
holders of both cmpurlas, who will be unwise Indeed if they
do not ratify It.
The following are the extreme prices at which
business has been done in railway shares daring the
week :

Where the asterisk VI is placed, it Is to be under-
stood that the share rate of- dividend is less the in-

Advice. have been received from Bahia to the 2Ath
April. In the eager market there was material altera-
tion, but as the stock had become reclaim! to 18,000
cheats, no decline in prices was expected to occur for
some time. Prices were quoted 1,700 to 1,750 re. for
browns, and 2,100 to 2,150 for whites. Exchange
was rather lower at 281 d., but some tramections had
been effected as low as 28d. The freight market was
fiat, the current rate being 40e. to the LlanneL
The commercial intelligence reeeived by the over-
land mail from the Indian presidencies is altogether
barren of interest, and may be annuned up is two
words—extreme dulness.
