Since Monday last the imports of specie have
?toeunted to £619,400, and the exports to £785,670,
including £527,490 taken out to day by the Ceylon,
'Which left for Bombay.
It appears that soveral inquiries for goods, espe-
e`allY in the woollen districts, have lately been made,
Purporting to come from a firm at Copenhagen, and
referring to a highly respectable house in that city.
This is believed to be merely an attempt to obtain
Property from merchants and manufacturers on
this side, and the house in question disclaims any
uvourable knowledge of the firm referring to
them.

The Bankers' Almanack and Directory for 1864
"ntilins a variety of useful matter, the information
respecting the recent formation of banking esta-
blishments having largely increased its value as a
Work of reference, Besides the ordinary banking
and commercial retrospect, the annual chronology,
~the account of failed firms, there is a list of the
directors of the principal joint-stock banks, the
4kince and credit companies, and the discount
undertakings. It is still edited by D. Morier Evans,
Who has had the superintendence of the volume
ReYeral years.

The market for the English Funds closed yes-
terday with a very heavy appearance, but rather
more firmness is now exhibited, and Consols are
90i 91 for money, and 911 a for the account. Busi-
ness has been very quite. New Threes and Re-
duced are about 901, 90 ; India 5 per Cents., 106 k
,
do. 4 per Cents., 100 1; Exchequer Bills, lls.
to 7s. dis.

The Foreign Market opened with a very de-
pressed appearance, but a partial recovery has since
occurred. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 70 it ;
ditto Cmsolides, 461 i; Mexican, 341; Cireek,
254 26; Spanish Passive, 32i 33k; Russian, 884
and the Confederate Loan, 36 38.

The share list of the Floating Dock Company
will close on Wednesday next, the 16th inst. The
Present price is a It, prem.
In the Railway Share Market the operations
have been limited, and prices have shown little
ehange of importance. South Western have im-
proved 1, and North Western 1; while North Eas-
tern (Berwick) have declined 4.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings continue
inactive at about former quotations.
Bank abd Miseellaenons shares continue in mode-
rate request, and show little change of importance
la values.
