"Our market has been without change since the pub-
lic sales, the result of which you were advised of on the
23d ultimo. In Chinas a few further parcels have been
taken at the prices then established, but healthy, as un-
doubtedly every branch of the trade is, consumers seem
resolved only to supply immediate wants until political
affairs are more settled."

In the Bankers' Magazine for March, the pros-
pects of the war as affecting the money market,
the question of Trade and Banking in Australia,
the Bank of England Charter, and other impor-
tant topics are fully discussed.
Late advices from New York report rather a
better market for Public Securities. The state of
trade was good, and prospects were encouraging.
The rate of exchange on London still tended down-
wards.

From the Continent the advices are not, com-
mercially, of importance. The impending war is
occasioning, however, more stringency in the dif-
ferent money markets, and Stocks are being sant
to England for sale.

morning, but business is dull, and the speculators
are indisposed to operate. Consols have been 91k
to for transfer, but only 91k for account. The
New 31. per Cents. have been at 92/ to 93k, and
the 3 per Cents. at 94 to 92. Exchequer Bills
have been marked 17s. to 205., and India Bonds
Bs. to lls. premium.
Foreign Securities have been weaker throughout.
Spanish Deferred Bonds, after being 18, have re-
ceded to 17i, and Mexican are heavy at 24k to 1.
Buenos Ayres have been quoted 55. Russian 5
per Cents. have been 88 to 89k ex dividend, and
the 41 per Cents. 80k to 84. Dutch Stock is
heavy at 85 for the 4 per Cents.
The Gold Mine Shares have been firm, as well
as the Banks and Land Companies', with very
little doing. Crystal Palace are maintained.
