It was feared this morning that the Bank
Directors would, make another advance in the rate
of int rest, in consequence of the increased demand
for money which has recently prevailed, and
thelate advance in the terms for loans
on stock; This, however, they 'did not do,-
as they decided at their meeting to' day
not to re-impose the restrictions which they
removed a few weeks ago, and the feeling in the
Money Market is, consequently, rather more-
favourable. No diminution in the demand has
taken place, and the commercial public, are still
obliged 'to submit to onerous terms . for
aceemmodation. The Consul Market today
11as very firm, with a 'slight advance in
the quotations. The Greeks and other opera-
tors have continued their purchases, which have
strengthened the market. Consols have been 934
a 4 for money, and 94 to 948 for the account. The
New Three per Cents have been 94 to 94f, the
Itedneed.93B to 94 and the 30 Years' Annuities
18 1-16th, all being firmer.. Exchequer Bills are
still depressed ; being 2s discount to 2s premium.
Bank Stock is quiet at 2174, and East India Stock
at-220 to 221.
The London Share Market was active to-day, and
es the settlement of the account has been satisfao
tority. arranged, prices have ruled buoyant. An
advance of about a- to 4 per cent, has .been realised
• upon previous quotations for most of the chief
undertakings. . Eastern Counties improved ss,

—he reports from the leading Corn Markets are
much the same as' noticed in our remarks of
Yesterday. • To-day there was very little business
tjansacted
,at Birmingham, but to effect sales,
Holders' of wheat had to. give.way to the extent of
18. per quarter. Flotir was also cheaper, and.
dull of sale. Barley, -Beans, and Pease were also
cheaper.- From Manchester and Cork we have,
similar reports as to demand and price.
The first-series of this yaat's foreign wool sales
commenced to-day. The quantity to be brought
forward will reach nearly 20,000 bales. The cats
loglia of Messrs. T• and H. Littledale andeorppapy_
containing 2,063 bales, all East Indian and Persian,
was the first offered for competition. The whole
Went off with spirit, although the attendance was
,
"arclly as good as in October last. The extreme
Price paid was 16d per lb. Several lots bronght
1,11.1 s figure ; a most unusual thing for such wool.
-)Lieep's wool being a fancy article, a great many
Jots realised 30,- 40, and 50 per cent, some 100, 200.
and 360 per cent more than the first breeds, not
an unusual occurence in this article:. Tha French
nonses •b
-ought fully their quantity. The whole
fittle shows that the woollen trade is'healthy. The
'Prices paid are fully equal to the advance noted in
'tile brokers circulars
At Hamburg the rate of discount has further
.receded to 5 to 51 per cent. ; but it is considered
PrChahle that a reaction will ere long take place,
°wing to the renewed demand for • silver -in
London.

According to a statement prepared by Messrs
Oggard and Pixley, the exports of gold and silver
last year were 17,806,910/. against 14,224,6101. in
