The official return. of the. Exports of Specie from
the port of London, for the week ending ThurSday
last, is—gold coin to Belgium, 560 OZ4. ; silver
ditto to Belgium, 300 oz.; silver bars to Hamburg,
13,400.

Accounts from Chili mention that a new tr'aty
of amity, commerce, and navigation has been
formed between that country and the United
States.

ercial advises from Havre state that trade
is remarkably brisk at that port. The demand for
cotton. continues good, and the market is regularly
supplied ; prices are consequently without much
variation, but firm. The lowest qualities of New
Orleans are given at 82f. to 87f. per 50 kilos., and
very ordinary sorts realise 92f. The sales of all
kinds during the. past week amounted to 13,152
bales ; the arrivals, 7,758 bales; and• the stock on
hand up to Feb. 29 was 70,011 bales. The quan-
tity arrived from the United States during the two
months of the present year was 53,302 bales,
against 40.000 last year. Wool was in demand ;
140 bales Buenos Ayres sold at lf. 25c. to 2f. l sc.
per kilo., and 26 Australian at 4f 75c. to 6f. 25c.
per kilo.
By telegraph from Batavia, by way of Trieste,
later advises have come to hand. The demand for
coffee in that market is greater than has been for
some time, and prices are rising. At the public
sales 30,000 piculs were disposed of at an average
of 30a florins (Dutch) per piculs The markets in
sugar were better supplied, and prices firm At
Louravaya 10,000 piculs of No. 16 realised 15kf1.,
11,000 piculs at 15141., and 36.000 piculs 13 to 14fl.
At Samarang 4.703 piculs averaged' 15ifi , and
10,000 at 15fl. Rice was falling in price, in conse-
quence of the supply exceeding the demand, and
indigo was in request at 3651 per box.
The English Funds have risen per cent to-day
upon the statement that the preliminaries of peace
have been signed. The closing prices were quoted
at 91 11-16.t0 91 13-16. The large amounts of
specie, and the important fall in corn, also con-
tributed to induce a more confident feeling. '1 he
substance of the Emperor's speech did not reach
the city until after business hours this evening.
To day the first instalment of 10 per cent, making
20 per cent paid, fell due upon the new loan. Not.
withstanding the demand for this purpose, and the
preparations for to-morrow, the 4th of the month,
there was no pressure in the Money Market. In
the Stock Exchange the current rate for short
loans upon government securities was about five
per cent. At Paris, to-day. the t_h rca per Cent.
Rentes opened at a great advance, but a re-action
subsequently took place. As compared with the
closing quotations of Saturday, the account price
shows a rise of per cent., whilst
the money price exhibits scarcely any
variation This would indicate a preponderance of
speculative purchases followed by some realisation
on the publication of the Emperors speech Owing
to the former appearance of the foreign Exchanges,
