There is no change of importance in the imme-
diate; position of the money market, and although
bankers and discounters consider an advance ex-
cefidingly probable if gold should be remitted to
Prance and America, the commercial community

per cent.

About £lB,OOO in Russian gold was sent into the
Bank of England yesterday.
The foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, ex-
hibited very little alteration; on Paris and Frank-

London than in Paris, and 4-lOths per cent. higher
here than in Hamburgh.

been sold, of which about 4,000 are for exportation
and 2,000 for home use and re-sale. An active

competition has prevailed throughout, and owing
to the unfavourable advices from Calcutta respect-
ing the new crop prices of all descriptions have
considerably improved.

A fair amount of business was recorded in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday,' at full rates.
The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales.

he report of the directors of the Bank of Tur-
key has just appeared, which recommends a disso-

hands at interest, and have thus realized the sum
of £9,374 7s. 6d., which, added to the £121,800,
leaves a balance immediately available of £80,318
13s. 10d. The directors propose, therefore, that
every shareholder shall forthwith receive a return
of per share, which will somewhat exceed the
above balance, but the difference will be made good
When a further division takes place, as soon as the
caution money lodged at the Bank of England
shall have been withdrawn. With regard to the
£30,000 paid for the concession, the directors will
use: their utmost endeavours to obtain a return of
it from the concessionaires, or through them from
the Turkish Government, together with compen-
sation. ,
