THE BULLION MARKET.

Annexed is Messrs. Pixley, Abell, and Lanoley's
weekly report of the bullion market
Gold—The arrival of gold comprise the follevring' :
White Star, from Sydney, with £50,000 ; Arabia, from
Boston, with £23,000 ; Edinburgh, from New York, with
£69,000. The demand for export has however been
so great, that about £lBl,OOO in bars and sove-
reigns have been withdrawn from the Bank, and
any immediate arrival would also be taken for abro ad.
The Pera has taken £65,600 to Alexandria, and £26,900 to
Ceylon and Madras. Silver—The silver ex Shannon has
been sold at 611 d per oz standard ; owing to the difficulty.
of getting silver from the Continent, in consequence of the
refineries being closed, the price has slightly improved, and
we quote the rate as 6l.id per oz for the out-going mail to
Bombay of the 12th inst. The Pera has taken £68,000 to
India. Mexican Dollars—The Pera has taken £21,000 to
China and the Straits. We are quite unable to give a
quotation for this coin, as, owing to its present scarcity,
no actual business has yet been transacted ; the
nearest price we can state is from 63d to 631 d per ounce.
