-Ai N Y ;it'd COMMERCIAL N E S.
CITY, QUARIE,R TO HIRE&
The accounts from the manufacturing districts respect-
leg the operations of the present week are very satisfac-
tory again.
The reports to hand from the Continental Sreck
Markets, ativise generally an improving state ot affairs.
The weekly statement of the Bank ot England, made
up to the 28th ult., will disep-,.o'nt, the expectations o;
those who conceived that the Bank would be enabled to
profit much by the increased activity of trade to extend
their circulation. We have before expressed cur opinion
that the surplus of capital was in f xcess of the wants of
the commercial interests, and that most firms could
draw largely yet upon their own resources before they
would need discount accommodation, to an extent, at
least, that mould relieve the balikers of much of their
idle assets. Looking at the weekly return before us, we
can scarcely wendt:r at the rumour which obtained rather
general currency on Thursday, and which we then no-
ticed, that the minimum rate of the Threadneedle street
eNtablishmotit 1,46 about to be lowered, for there is a
curtailment again of active circulation. It is to be re-
marked, neverthe less, that the bullion was slightly drawn
upon; but another sign of diminished business is the re-
duction in the securities, representing ordinarily bills
under discount. The public deposits are now again
rising. Compared with the previous week, the return
gives the following results:—

No alteration of any moment occurred yesterday after-
noon in the rates of foreign exchanges. Bills of ninety
days' date were negotiated at 25.55 to- 60 on Paris; at
25.65 to 70 on Antwerp; at 12.2 to 2f on Amsterdam; at
13.12 to 121 on Ilsmburgh ; at 1218 on Frankfort;
and at 12.15 to 20 on Tritste.
The telegraphic outline of the news per Washington
steamer fr m America shows that a very large quantity
of gold, 770.000 dollars, is coming forward by theTeviot,
and the advices concerning the state of trade and the
abatemeLt of the cholera are satisfactory.
The exports of the precious metals from London this
week have amounted to about 150,000 ounces in silver,
and 2,272 ounces in gold; 1,800 ounces of the latter
being to Belgium.
The Mining Share Market has been active this week.
There is a better market for Public Securities, and the
news from Sardinia has a good effect, in the absence of
further money sales. Consols have been 92i to 1., and
are now 928 to 93. Bank Stock is 199 to 1991. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 93i to
Exchequer-tillsB. are 48s. to 51s. premium.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Three per Cents.
are 344 to 35, and Portuguese Four per Cents 27 ;
Mexican are 271 to f ; Buenos Ayres are 488 to 51.
Railway shares are rather dull again.
This is a very heavy bill day, being the 4th of the
month.
