CITY, 2 O'CLOCK
The exportation of silver to the East is still con-
ducted on the mort limited scale, and judging from
the tendency of the exchanges, there is no immediate
prospect of increased remittances. A very impor-
tant change in the specie movement has thus been
produced by the rebellion and the depression of
trade. The steamers now convey comparatively
little silver, and the result is that the price
of that metal is heavy, with scarcely any
demand. Dollars are quoted 594 d. per oz. and
bar silver is 60-Id. per oz. standard The
steamer Pera, which will leave Southampton to-
morrow, will take out £45,300, as follows, viz. :
.£9,000 for Alexandria, £2,000 for Ceylon ;
£615 for India, and £41,785 for China. If the
remittances are continued at about this point
the necessity of buying silver on the Con-
tinent will be obviated, as the West India
steamers will bring ample supplies. Indeed, for
several months past the influx from France and
Belgium has been almost stispnided,*and this has as-
sisted in increasing the stock of bullion in the Bank
of England.
A small quantity of gold, viz., £4,000, was received
at that establishment yesterday, and the return -
in Friday's Gazette will probably show a mo-
derate infzrease in the metallic reserves. Sup-
plies of Australian gold are now almost hourly
expected, as one or two of the vessels en route have
beer about the average period at sea. Upwards of three-quarters of a million sterling are known to be j
coming forward. Of this a small proportion will, no
doubt, be sent to the Continent, but it is thought
that the bulk will be retained in this country.
The applications for discount accommodation are
increasing, and a larger business is reported at the at
Bank as well as in Lombard-street. No material 31
-variation in the terms, however, has yet occurred,
and good bills can be negotiated at least k per cent.
under the official minimum, in consequence of the
continued abundance of capital. Trade is absorbing
a larger amount, operations being extensively pushed
in most departments of business, and the influence of
this movement will, no doubt, be felt much more 4t
sensibly in the space of a few months than it is at
st St
present.

Accounts from France report a continued im- ,

provement in trade, ea a much better feeling el
appears to prevail on the Bourse.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed 8,
with rather more animation, and prices were well iti
maintained. The sales were estimated at from
8,000 to 10,000 bales. In Railway Shares there was sci
more activity exhibited, and quotations.sligllfly im- 811
proved. -
To-day the half-yearly general meeting of the {
Victoria Dock Company was held-Mr. Morrison in
13t
the chair. -From the report it appeared that the st,
.6,000 new shares had been issued, subject to a de- tstl
posit of £2 per share. It was intended to erect new
warehouses for the tobacco trade, at a cost of .:£46,000.
The business of the docks had much increased. 11:
From the accounts it appeared the balance at bankers' 8
and on deposit was £10,829.
A half-yearly meeting of the Berlin Waterworks
Company has taken place to-day. It appeared from 11
the report that the system adopted bad not quite an- st 4
swered, and that a number of the pipes had burst in att
consequence of the frost in the spring, involving an et
expenditure of £15,000 for their beim.- relaid at a
depth of sft. from the surface. The extendedb con- :
st
cession from the Government had not yet been ac-
corded. From the accounts there appeared to be a It,
balance in hand on capital account of .£16,955. The 1141
report was adopted.
Very little alteration has taken place in the Eng- 1;
fish Stock Market to-day, but upon the-whole there
is a firmer tone, in spite of the contraction ofbusiness.
The speculators retrain from buying or
selling, except in small amounts, which are ate
too unimportant to influence values. Consols ;
have been 961 * for money and account.
The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities im-
proved to 97 to 97*; Bank Stock to 228 f, and ni
India Loan Debentures to 981 ditto ; 2d issue-, t . 3

Prom these figures it will be seen that the traffic
Upon some of the lines is improving, which, being
attributable to increased commercial transactions,
must be regarded as a satisfactOry symptom.
Business in the Railway Share Market, this morn-
ing, has not beh active. A few of the principal
lines have been at a slight advance, owing to the more
favourable character of the traffic returns, more par-
ticularly Great Westerns, which have improved £1
to 10s. Lancashire and Yorkshire have risen
ts• ; Brighton, ss. to 10s. ; and Midland, 5s North
Eastern (I3erwick) and South Eastern have de-
clined los. In the Foreign and Colonial
Markets scarcely any business has been re-
Ported. Northern of France have declined
65., _and Paris and Lyons ss. Lombardo-Venetian
improved ss. Grand Trunk of Canada declined los.
and Great Indian Peninsula realised previons rates.
Joint Stock Bank Shares have been at steady
rates. Bank of Australasia improved 55., London
and Westminster 10s., and Union of Australia
