There continues to be an active inquiry for dis-
count accommodation, but this is usual towards the
111:1 of the month, and notwithstanding this in-
creased pressure and the withdrawals of gold that
have occurred during the last day or two, the
Prospects of the Money Market are considered
satisfactory. On Saturday as much as 80,000/. in
gold was taken from the Bank, and unless some
large amounts are shortly received from Australia
it is very probable the stock of bullion in
Threadneedle-street will be slightly diminished,
as specie shipments must be made to the
continent to aitain supplies of silver for
the monthly mails to India and China. For-
tunately, however, it is known that an extensive
Supply of the precious metals is en route from the
Antipodes ; and during the next few weeks, up-
wards of a million sterling will no doubt be
advance d. The Bullion has been gradually
increasing for some time past, and an oc-
casionally check to the accumulation must
be anticipated in the ordinary course of affairs ;
but considering the supply and demand for
specie now existing, there is reason to believe
that the aggregate in the Bank vaults will yet
• ascend to a higher I oint. It is impossible yet
to tell what effect the Indian difficulties will have
upon our exports, and this augments the anxiety
felt for the receipt of the Overland mail which is
now hourly expected.
Last week the imports of the precious metals
were about 217,000/. and the exports 56,0001.
The accounts from New York by the Niagara,
which brings 61,200/. in specie, state that the
demand for money continued active, and the hst
Banks' returns showed a material increase in the
loans and discounts.
This day there was a special meeting of the
North British Australasian Company, for altering
the present deed of contract of copartnery under
the Limited Liability Act, which was agreed to.
There was also a meeting of the Australian Min-
ing Company, at which a favourable report was
read and adopted.
The Funds have been very heavy to-day, the
'weakness previously noticed having-been increased
by the failure of a Greek firm, who have been large
speculators. The transactions have not been very
numerous, but being sales they have depressed
prices to the extent of i• per cent., and the
market is still flat, especially as there is still
a considerable degree of anxiety with regard to in-
telligence from India. Consols for transfer have
been 911 I, and 911 For the account, they have
been 91 / and 9112- t. They are now 91 A and
918 / respectively. The New Three per Cents. are
91i 92, and the Reduced 911_ Bank Stock is
215 to 216. Exchequer Bills are better, viz.,
6s. to 2s. discount ; the Bonds have been 981,
and India Bonds 255. discount. •
Foreign Stocks are very dull, and generalliflatter. -.-;
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 94 to 941, and the 4 per
Cents. 1021. Russian 5 per Cents. are firm at 111,
Portuguese 45k, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 98/ 1.
