There is not the sl ghtert change to repor in the
Money M4rket, where the supply is soperahun-
dant, and the demand very litnir ed. Ovcasionally
there is an inereasrd nuin! er of applications for
accommodation, but they produce n effect, and •he
terms range from 2/ pe, cert.. for the ',ego lit on of
the best qu ‘lities of commercial bills. Opinioos r

to the commerLial public or to the nati-nal
establishment.

The Indian Laan does not appear very popular
at present, and it is gren-r,lly beVevel that the
estimates made as to the probable prioe a', which it

adopted.

There is a steady mark, t for Public Securities,
but the quotations, though firm, exhibit, very lir de
buoyancy. The Indian news is c 'nsidered wry
favourable, but it has not cawed auy MOW-
merit of importance in the vafti,, of the Fu dl.
Busimess, however, is very dull, and this
partly accounts for the apathy of the ma'krt.
