estimated at 6,000 bales, 500 for export,
and 800 on speculation, comprising Americans,
64d. to Bd. ; and 1,000 Surat, 40. to sad.
Per lb. The Railway Share Market closed steadily,
and a fair amount of business was done, with a
alight advance on the current rates of Friday.
The advices from New York state that money
was in active demand, and the rates charged for
the negotiation of business paper tended upwards.
During the week ending May 3 the imports ex-
ceeded the exports by $358,965, so that the balance
of trade being still against the New York mer-
chants continued remittances of specie may be
expected.

In the market for English Securities a moderate
amount of business has been done, and the quota-
tions current at the close of business on Saturday
has been well maintained. The Stock Exchange was
°Pened an hour earlier than usual, viz., 10 o'clock,
atid a good deal of anxiety was manifested
