MONEY MARKET.

SATURI)AT ETENIXO.

Money continues vety abundant in the market, and
the desire to give it employment increases as the
quarterly payment cf the dividend (which commences
on the 9th init.) approaches, by which upwards of
six millions sterling will be added to the capital at
present in circulation. Of this sum a fair proportion
will, as usual, have to be reinvested, and the amount
of capital in the hands of the joint stock and private
banks will be correspondingly increased, so that there
is every reasonable ground to conclude that mcney
will continue for some time as plentiful as it has been
of live. It is at present difficult to place "on call"
at 1; per cent.; whilst on deposit for 6
weeks, 2 and 3 months, 2 per cent. per
annum respectively has been given ; but even
on these terms we understand oniy the best customers
are Accommodated. In discounting, the " outside
mete" have hat fu'l occupation at to per coot.
below the Limbard-street rates, wht, h are the same
as last quarter. The Bank returns, published in this
evening's (Saturday's) .Express, exhibit a de-
decrease of 437,633!. in the reserve, which may be
accounted for by the increase of 561,3371 in the pri-
vate Securities, being the additional advances made
by the Back to the public, a feature of the Bak
operations which usually occurs just before the pay-
ment of the dividends. The c intinued export of
silver to the sontinent, particularly to Belgium and
Holland, owing to the gold coin of the la•ter country
having been w.ttedrawn from circulation, and silver
being made the only legal tender, has caused an ad-
vance of : in the value of this metal in the English
market ; bat as the large exparts of silver to Builds
have ceased, it is not improbable that the am.unt of
silver on the way to this country from the Pacific, and
what is constantly arriving frurn other perts,will coun-
teract the effect which this constant drain far export

to the continent might otherwise produce on the
market valn_ of this metal. Exchequer Bilis bare
been in ku demand this week, but yesterday and to-
day there wee more inquiry, and the price of 67e. to
70a. prem. became folly established.

There was some degree of flatness obs: rvable in the
railway share market during the first two days of the
week, but this subsequently wore off, and prices ex-
hibited an improving tendency till this day, when the
tone again became weaker. On the wnole, prices
have been firmly sustained, and fur several descrip-
tions a considerable advance in value has been realised.
Thus Great North of Englauds have risen 3/., Lan-
cashire and Yorkshires, 3/. ; Lancaster and Carlisles,
11.; Great Westerns, 135.; London and North
Westerns and Soutti Westerns, 10s. On the other
hand, Edinburgh' and Glasgow' have fallen 14,
York and North Midlands, 13a., and Midlands, 10a.,
below last Saturday's prices. Several descriptions of
shares, it may be mentioned, are held very largely in
pawn by the Snatch banks, which avail themselves of
every opportunity presented by a rise in value, to turn
them cut upon the market, and thus they are pre-
vented from reaching those prices, to which, from the
favourable character of the traffic returns on seve-
ral of theso lines, they would otherwise
attair. The operations of the week on the
whola have not been on an extensive scale,
except in some particular descriptions. The traffio
returns of the majority of the lines continue to pre-
sent a favourable comparison with last year, as will
be seen on an inspection of the table published in this
evening's Exprec. Oa taking the aggregate of
these returns, we find that the receipts far the past
week on 5,267 miles were 246,093!., being at the rata
of 47/. per mile per week; whilst for the correspond-
ing period of 1819, 213,978/. was received on 4,618
miles, being alga at the rate of 47/. per mile per week.
There is thus an increase of 32,6221. in the amount
received, and an increase in the mileage of 619.

bubinese has been done in railway shares during the
