The Bank of England raised its rate of Dis•
count 1 per cent. this afternoon, the minimum
rate being now 61 per cent. Tha circumstances
which led to this move are the sustained pressure,
and the probability of its increasing, and the
drain of Gold from the Bank, which, if
they are continued on the present scale, must
in a very short time produce a serious de-
ficiency in the stock of bullion. The arrivals
of gold from Australia, which will, in all probablity,
reach England ere the beginning of the week,
added to the sum received by the White Star
yesterday afternoon, will, however, go far to supply
any severe drain ; that is, supposing it is not
bought up for the Continent. There is a reasonable
supply of silver by the La Plats, arrived from the
West Indies.

The raising of the rate of discount produced a
very unfavourable impression on the Market for
Public Funds and Securities. Consols feel money
opened at 938 to 931, and declined to 93-4- to 93/,
closing at that rate. For the account the closing
price was 931 to 93 9 16, being a decline of 8 upon
yesterday's prices.
In the London Share Market to-day the sales
were limited, and a decline occurred. The follo wing
were the closing prices :—Ambergate, Nottingham,
and East Junction, sa, 5?; ; Caledonian, 681, 698 ;
Edinburgh and Glasgow,s6, 57 ; Eastern Counties,

Messrs. Dufay and Co.'s Monthly Manchester
Trade Report has just been issued :
The modification in the Russian tariff, by which the duty on
yarns is to be reduced about 30 per cent, has given a momen-
tary impulse to the market in yarns suitable for these quarters,
sufficient protection is, however, still left to enable the Russian
spinners to compete easily with importations from this country.
40's mule and 30's water, of good qualities are in request, and
prices for these particular numbers have experienced a marked
improvement since the beginning of the year. Spinners, as a
rule, are however not doing a lucrative business, those of the
higher numbers and double yarns excepted, the two latter de-
scriptions keep in good demand, and the rise has in some quali-
ties have been very considerable. The new Russian tariff will
also render the importation of fine light manufactured goods
possible, bat as yet the information which has come to hand is
not sufficiently positive to ascertain its future effect. The
demand for the poorer markets of South America, as well as
some of the southern Continental markets, has suffered, owing
to the rise in prices. Many orders have to be returned in con-
sequence of low limits, and much time is lost in writ'ng back..
ward and forward. The Manchester market is maintaining its
position, and producers endeavour to realise a further advance
to bring textile fabrics in due proportion with the present value
of cotton, but great difficulty prevails, owing to an impression
that prices have reached their highest point.
The demand for Tobacco in London during the
month of March was, according to the Circular of
Messrs. Grant, Hodgson, and Co.,
Of a very limited character, and with the exception of
sales of upwards of 120 hhds. of Western Strips, was
contfined to the immediate wants of the trade, sties not
exceeding 350 hhds., cevertheless the market sustained
a very firm appearaace, and no feature has presented
itself to justify any change in our previous quotations,
which we have resumed. Holders have not been influ-
enced by the absence of business, to offer any concessions
for the purpose of affecting sales, but have appeared to
entertain great confidence, as to the future course of
the market, as the season advanees. Advices up to the
14th ultimo, from the United States live beep Teceived,
which represent all markets as extremely firm, and sales
of some descriptions at a further advance.
There has been only a small business done in
Cotton during the past month, but the value of
middling and inferior goods is unaltered, whilst
the lower kinds are is 43 per lb cheaper. Tobacco
has been taken moderately by the trade. The
Pig Iron Market has been very lifeless, and the
price which ranged for some time at 76s cash. has
latterly receded .to about 74s frl, closing flatly.
The Stock in yards amounts to 31,000 tons. The
various Produce Markets were dull, with the excep
Lion of that of Rum, which within the last ten
days, has advanced 23 per gallon. We are indebted
to Messrs. Connal and Co 's Circular for the above
information.

Messrs. J. P. Platt and Co , in their circular just
issued, state :
There is little change to note in Freights to Australia
during the past month. The bulk of the ships loading last
month having sailed, leaves less choice f)r shippers. The
Royal Charter steamer is expected to arrive here every
day on her return voyage from Melbourne, being now
upwards of seventy six days at sea ; she is advertised to
sail again on the 15th inst., but we do not think she will
get away till next month. Our present quotations are, to
Melbourne Wharf by the packet ships of sth and 20th,
50s ; by other vessels, 40s to 45s ; to Sydney, 30s; Adelaide,
30s to 35s per ton weight and measurement. The advance
in Freights to the United States in February has been
checked ; and rates are now considerably lower, more
prloicularly for weight. The decline may be chiefly
attributed to the accounts received of the projected reduction
of the duties on Imports into the United States, which is
intended to come into force on the let July next. During
this and next month we do not anticipate much change in
our ' present rates, which are for—Dry Goods : to New
York, 12s 6d to 17s 6d ; Boston, 15s to 20s; Philadelphia,
12s 6d to 20s; New Orleans, 15s to 20s per ton measure-
ment. Earthenware : to New York, 63 6d to 7s 6d ;
Boston, 8s to lOs ; Philadelphia, 7s Gd to 10s; Now Orleans
7s 6d to 10a per ton measurement. Iron : to New York,
1 Is to 12s 6d ; Boston, 15s to 173 6d ; Philadelphia, 12s 6d
to 15s; New Orleans, 153 to 17s Gd per ton weight.
Chemicals : to New York, 12s 6d to 15s ; Boston 17s 6d to
20s; Philadelphia, 15s to 17s 6d ; New Orleans,
15s to 17s 6d per ton measurement. The present price of
Coal in Liverpool is—Coarse, 5s 6d; Staved, lOs ; Factory
filled, 13s to 16s per ton. Sacks, common, 8d to Old ;
fine, 15d to 18d each. Coal ;—Orrell, 123 ; Steam. 9s to
lls ; Cannel, 18s to 19s; Coke, 18s 6d per ton, f.o.b.
The value of British Goods Exported from Liverpool for
the month of February last was 4,864,265/, being 1,068,3641
mere than in coyresponding month, 1856.
According to the elaborate and carefully drawn
up circular of Mr. Tredinnicli, of Old Broad street,
Louden—

The market for shares in British Mines has experienced
considerable fluctuations during the month of March.
