Owing to the activity of the Continental demand
it is believed that the greater part will be taken for
transmission to France. During the next few days
every movement of the precious metals will be nar-
rowly watched, because, if it continues unfavour-
able, increased discount restrictions may be antici-
pated. The rate of exchange at New York, ac-
cording to the advices brought by the Baltic, is
still unfavourable-, viz., 106-7 ; so that large re-
mittances fromthisside areapprehended. Numerous
orders are being sent out to effect purchases in secu-
rities at their present reduced quotations, while
many of our merchants may be tempted to buy some
of the stocks of goods warehoused there, which are
also at depreciated values. Besides this, money will
have to be forwarded for the insurance of the gold
on board the Central America, and likewise on ac-
count of the Illinois Central and other railway
companies.

The meeting of the Great Western Railway of
Canada has just taken place, and has passed off with
unanimity. The report was taken as read, and the
chairman, Mr. Gill, alluded to the forthcoming
dividend being at the rate of G per cent. per annum,
Which he thought very satisfactory. The arrange-
ment with the Cdnada Government was highly
favourable. He alluded, in conclusion, to the
propriety of their aiding the Detroit and Milwaukie
Railway Company, which would so much increase
the traffic on their line, to obtain their required
loan, not exceeding 150,0001., for the completion of
the works. The report was adopted after some
discussion.

The Funds have not been very materially in-
fluenced by the alteration in the rate of discount.
At the commencement of business a decline of
per cent, took place, but more firmness is now
visible, and, as often occurs after an advance on
the minimum, the tone of the market seems
stronger. Consols are 891 for money and the
14th instant, and 90f4 for the 10th November.
Exchequer Bills are Bs. to 4s. discount, and the
Bonds 235. to 1.95. discount.
Foreign Stocks were generally flatter. Turkish
6 per Cents. have declined to 94k and they are
now at that quotation. The 4 per Cents. are 99?,.
Business has been recorded as follows :—Brazilian
6 per Cents., 10012- ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 201. 21;
Peruvian 4i per Cents., 78i ; ditto 3 per Cents.,
54f ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 90 ; Spanish Deferred,
25k ; and Dutch 4 per Cents., 98k.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51- 6 ; hlex-
can, 20}73. 211 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 78& 9i ;
