It is officially announced that the Stock Exchange
will be closed on Monday.
The advises brought by the Fulton, from New
York, report the latest quotations of exchange on
London, no higher than 101 to 102 for bankers' bills,
and gold at Ito 2 per cent. premium. So long as
this state of things lasts, remittances of gold from this
side cannot be expected to cease. We understand
that a considerable amount of sovereigns will be
shipped by the Arabia, which will sail to-day.
Too much importance must not be attached to the
remittance of 10,0001. from New York to London
per the Fulton ; for, as a curious proof of
the exceptional character of this operation,
we may mention that this identical sum, which
consists of American eagles, was yesterday purchased
for shipment back to New York.

Messrs. John Hilly and Co., of Philpot-lane,
merchants engaged to the American trade, have
found themselves under the necessity of issuing a
circular announcing a suspension of payment. Their
embarrassments have arisen from the failure of re-
mittances from the United States. It is stated, how-
ever, ea the result of an examination by Mr. Quilter,
that a considerable surplus will ultimately remain
alter the liquidation of all liabilities. The amount
involved is not believed to be very large.
It is announced that the steamer La Plata has
arrived from the West Indies and Mexico with about
200,0001. in gold and silver.
The John Bunyan has arrived from Sydney, with
3,000 ounces of gold on freight, worth 12,0001.
Farther large arrivals of continental silver are an-
nounced. The steamers Baron 05y and Rhine, which
arrived in the Thames on Thursday from Antwerp
and Boulogne, have brought a total of about 76,0001.
The steamer expected to arrive at Liverpool on
Monday from New York is the Niagara.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
generally firm. As regards bills on Frankfort and
Vienna, and short paper on Amsterdam, rather
higher rates were paid. Bills on Belgium and Paris
were rather more inquired for. The rates quoted
for paper on Hamburg were very irregular. We
hear of transactions from 13.91 up to 13.11. The
following may be given as the current notation:q
Amanda's, three months, 11.193 to 12.01; do., short,
11.161 to 164 ; Rottesdam,thres months, 11.191 to 12.03 ; Ant-
werp, three months, 26.60 to 6; Hamburg (mare' Lenox),
three months, 13.91 to 101 ; Paris, short, 26.25 to 96; ditto,

A telegram from St. Petersburg quotes the ex-
change on London still lower, viz., at 314 d. About
100,000 half imperials, or 80,0001. sterling in gold,
were in course of shipment to this side. Many per-
sons are of opinion that, unless the government
permit the free efflux of gold, the exchange will
.I—and to a point extravagantly adverse to Russia.
With some 110,000,0001. of paper in circulation, and
as estimated total of perhaps 18,000,0001. in bullion,
it is by no means impossible that we may witness a
depreciation of the Russian currency similar to that
which took place at a date perfectly within the
memory of many commercial men, when the value
of the paper rouble fell to 10d., although nominally
worth about 3s. 2d.

In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday there wu a
further investigation into the charge made against
Mr. 8. Adams, the banker. The bankrupt admits
the truth of the charge, and that the person to
whom he said he advanced the 3,6001. mining does
not owe it. The soignee, have determined to take
• day or two
..to consider their best course in the
matter.
Very little business was done in wheat yesterday,
although holders would have been willing to sell at
a reduction of Is. to 2s. per qr. from lut Monday's
rates. The number of floating cargoes of grain
arrived at ports of call since lut Wednesday
is seven. The provincial and French markets are
reported rather lower.
directors of the Oriental Bank Corporation
have ordered payment of a dividend of 1L 6s. per
share, being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum
for the half-year ended 30th June lad, payable on
the let December, free of income tax.

An extraordinary general meeting of the Medical,
Legal, and General Mutual Life Assurance Society
is called for the 12th of November, to consider the
propriety of dissolving the society, in order to carry
out the arrangement entered into with the New
Equitable Life Assurance Society.
The last weekly traffic return of the Great
Northern Railway Company presents an increase of
5021. over that of last year, and not a decrease, as
inadvertently stated yesterday.
The subjoined weekly summary of the produce
markets is from Messrs. W. J. and H. Thompson.
The downward tendency continues :

The colonial markets continue very dull and prices gene-
rally have a downward tendency, coffee forming the only
exception. Sugar hes only been saleable at a reduction of
le to 2s. per cwt. The Dutch Trading Company ban de-
clared for auction on the 29th November, 11,720 baskets
against 22,100 baskets at same date last year. An improved
demand has existed for plantation sorts of Ceylon coffee,
which have recovered about la. to 2a. per cwt of the late fall.
Sales of 2,669 canto 3,662 bags Ceylon ate to be held on the
12th proximo at Rotterdam, on account of the Dutch Trading
Cowpony. Rioe is very dull of sale at about 9d. to le. per
ewe doylies. For saltpetre there are not any buyers near the
rates current last week. The qiunaenctriyerl sales of cinnamon,
held on Monday, went off without s tat from Id. to 3d.
per lb. decline. Tea continues ye.
