CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The demand for discount accommodation con-
tinues very quiet, and the rates remain without
alteration.
About £35,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
Bank of England yesterday.
The foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, ex-
hibited a slight decline in several instances.
The official returns relating to trade and naviga-
tion for the 12 months ending the 31st December,
1861, have just been published, from which it
appears that the total declared value of the exports
amounted to £125,115,133, against £135,891,227
in 1860, showing a decrease of £10,776,094. The
principal falling off is shown in beer and ale,
cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, haberdashery
and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manu-
factures, woollen manufactures, and woollen and
worsted yarn.
