June.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
To-day the Money Market presents a languid
appearance, the supplies on offer are small, and
the rates are greatly in favour of borrowers.
There were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank of England yesterday.
The official return 3 relating to the trade and
navigation of the United Kingdom for the six
months ended to 30th June have been published,
from which it appears that the total declared value
of the exports during that period have been
£87,613,484, against £92,857,830, compared with
the corresponding period of the previous year, and
showing a decrease of £52,442,316. The decrease
is most perceptible in beer and ale, cotton manu-
factures, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and
cutlery, linen manufactures, iron and unwrought
steel, silk manufactures, and woollen and worsted
manufactures. There has been a slight increase in
coals and Cuba cotton, yarn, earthenware, and
porcelain, and linen yarn ; the importations
of the principal articles have been larger as
regards flax, palm oil, quicksilver, raw silk, pepper,
sheeps' and lambs' wool, coffee, corn, unrefined
sugar ; there is a diminution, however, in raw
