Market yesterday closed firmly, although with less
animation, and most descriptions advanced in value.
The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, 1,000 of
which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by
exporters. The R tilway Share Market presented
a quiet appearance, and prices slightly receded.
The American ad vices received to-day, by the
City of Washington, report a further improvement
in trade, and more activity prevailed both among
merchants and manufacturers. Confidence is ex-
pressed in a gradual recovery, and bef 're the
autumn it is expected that much of the damage
inflicted by the late crisis will be repaired. Money
continued extremely abundant, and the demand
was limited. Bills had been negotiated as luw as
3 per cent.
A large amount of gold, viz., 95,0001. was taken
from the Bank of England yesterday for the Con-
tinent, but as the French exchange is higher, and
the demand for silver has partially subsided, the
movement, it is expected, will soon terminate.
The bar silver brought by the last West India
packet has been sold at 61s. Ad. oz. standard

The English funds have further advanced, but
there is not much animation, although the
speculators seem inclined to increase their
Operations for a rise. The unfavourable im-
pression produced by the withdrawal of gold
from the Bank is neutralised by the satisfac-
tory progress of Parliamentary business, and the
improvement in the Paris Bourse. Consuls for
transfer have been 972 and 974 98. For account
the quotations have been 98 to 98i They are now,
however, 972 and 971 98, respectively. The New
Threes and the Reduced Annuities are 961 and
India Loan:Debentures 1001 4. The March Ex-
chequer Bills have been 38s. to 425. prem., and
the June ditto, 365. to 395. prem. Bank Stock
is 223, and India ditto, 225 to 226.
A. very large amount of business has been trans-
acted in Foreign Securities, and prices generally
remain 'steady. Turkish G per Cents, are 98i 99 ;
