MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The weekly balance sheet of the Bank of England to
the 26:h ultimo, only serves to confirm what we have re-
cently brought so prominently under the notice of our
readers, viz., the extreme abundance of money and the
difficulty of employing it. The unemployed assets of
the corporation were larger, the circulation being di-
minished and the bullion increased, but we recognise, as
a more favourable feature, the continued reduction of
private balances. A comparison with the previous week
gives the following results:—

The Foreign Exchanges were firm yesterday after•
noon. Bills at 90 days wero negotiated on Paris at 25,
65 to 70; on Amsterdam ut 12: 2 to 2i; on Hamburgh
at 13: 124 to 13; end on Trieste at 12: 20 to 30.
Mire has been more life in the Produce markets this
week, and the export demand has increased for Sugar.
While the continent is so unsettled we may expect a
good deal of indirect business of this kind, and our free-
trade policy will, in fact, greatly promote it; the capital
and enterprise of British merchants bringing here
abundant supplies of all articles, from which foreign
buyers can make their choice at discretion, and for
limited amounts from time to time, as required.
During the week to Thursday last the bullion shipped
direct from London comprised silver only, viz., 34,G00
ounces to Belgium, 88,000 ounces to Holland, and 6,500
ounces to Hamburgh. _

Dlessri. Wilkinson and Jewesbury report of the Lon-
don produce markets fur the past month that the arrivals
have been extensive, the supplies by importers free, and
the deliveries satisfactory.
From the Amsterdam Bourse we are advised of a
decline in prices, owing to the heaviness of the French
Fund:. At Berlin prices were rising, and at Frankfort
they were steady.
The English Stocks have been per cent. higher this
morning, with a moderate business doing. Consols have
been 91i and aro now 918 to 92. The Now Three-
and a-Quarter per Cents. have been done at 91 to 4.
Exchequer-bills are 455. to 48s. premium. India Stock
has been firm at 251 i.
The Foreign Securities are also rather better, although
there is not a great deal doing. Spanish Five per Cents.

Bonds are 27i to 278. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are nominally 49 to 50.
