Inarket yesterday closed eery quietly, and prices
of all descriptions slightly declined. The sales were
estimated at 6,000 bales.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
beenabout £291,295, and the exports £287,653,
exclusive of the following shipments direct from
London to the Continent, during the week ending
Thursday last :—Gold coin, Boulogne, 720 ozs.; ditto
bars, Hamburg, 8,278 ozs. ; silver coin, Boulogne,
10,000 ozs.

The Money Market continues in a very quiet
State, and the rates appear rather easier. Several
loan instalments will have to be met during the
next six weeks, which, together with the commer-
cial engagements of the 4th, will no doubt shortly
stimulate the inquiry for accommodation. The
Austrian loan, which, it is said, will be attempted
at an early date, excites discussion in financial
'reles, but a doubt is expressed whether the
amount spoken of will be readily subscribed,
ning to the present state of politics, and the
.r.'eavY discount to which the Turkish and Chilian
j'eans, lately introduced, have now descended.
The market for Public Securities to-day has not
'en influenced to any important extent, the trans-
actions both real and speculative having been very
'united. While the Paris Bourse continnes in such
an uncertain state, much buoyancy cannot be
expected on this side, and in the meantime the
Operators seem disinclined to enter into
extensive arrangements. Consols have been
