En, d tt:rll to the 27!11 N4-v ember
is very favourable; and no doubt every week, for some
time to come, it will be more so. The bullion shows an
important increase, and the demand for discount accom-
wodation was diminishing, a circumstance which neces-
3itated the reduction to six per cent. in the minimum
rate of discount, and which, ere long, will occasion a
further reduction in the charge for accommodation. The
reserve of notes will increase in proportion to the easi-
uess of money out of doors:.

The Foreign Exchanges were firm yesterday afternoon.
The Washington steam-ship, from the United States,
has brought over 30,0001.; and the Cormorant, from the
Spanish Main, has also arrived with specie, amounting
to 1,700,000 dollars. These additions to the previous
large stock of the precious metals here, has caused
much satisfaction.
We are thus advised as to the state of the Money
Market at New York, at the latest dates:—
" The stock market was a little more buoyant this
morning, but the transactions were to a moderate ex-
tent. At the first board, Canton advanced -1( per cent.,
Norwich and Worcester -I, Pennsylvania s's f; Morris
Canal, Reading Railroad, and Treasury Notes, closed
at prices current on Saturday; Harlem fell off per
cent., and Stonington Although some of the fancies
show au improvement, there has been no change in the
complexion of the money market. The banks are par-
tially panic struck, at.d are contracting as rapidly as
possible. The drain of several hundred thousand
dollars in specie, for shipment to Europe, has had the
effect which might have been expected. We hope the
fright they have experienced will do them a great
deal of good, and induce them to confine their opera-
tions to a safe limit. Contraction is the cry, and we
shall ring it in the ears of all as loud as possible. It is
the enly thing that will save us from a revulsion as dis-
astrous as that which sweeps over England."
The fluctuations in Consols for Money and the Ac-
count has not exceeded 4 per cent. all the day. The
prices have been for the former 848 I and for the
latter 868 There is very little business doing,
