AtAe following review of the bullion market is from

s- Mocatta and Goldsmid :—" There has been no
pr

has declined to 600, with but little enquiry.
f 3 xte'n dollars have been in limited demand
China,l: and in the absence of arrivals there
tre been a few importations from the Con -
4(11:nt'• The price has in consequence gradually
r,„e'aneed from 58-c1 to 59d, but this latter
i 3 by no means to be relied on. The Maria
li•leresa dollars (about .£600,000) from Abyssinia

all been disposed of at 541 d per oz. The French
aileb,ange has advanced to a point which would nearly
tibTit of our receiving gold from Paris, though pos-
, Y the rise may be arrested before any such lin-
rtation takes place, but of course under the circum-
tCcbes, all the gold which comes to hand is taken to
ha- filjank• The American exchange, on the other
dollars has considerably fallen, and a quantity of 5-
ini Pieces, which arrived about a fortnight ago, was
b tnediately sent ack. There does not appear yet to
611iRcient margin to render the export of gold to
pre States profitable, though there seems to be an im-
h,eAssien in some quarters that this may before long be
case.„
