exception of the Funds, which are dull at the lower

e"erY. Railways are dull, in spite of the known
Scarcity of stock for delivery.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank
yes-
terday. Messrs. Mocatta and Goldsmid's Ballion
Circular has the following remarks :—" There have
been no arrivals of silver •of any importance this
Inonth, and bars remain at 600, with rather a firm
tendency. In Mexican dollars there has been little
'Ding. An exceptional order for China for to-
tiorrow's mail necessitated the purchase of a limited
amount at 59k, but as no further inquiry is to be
expected in the same direction, the next which are
received will probably only realise the previous rate,
°ail. The arrivals of eagles from America are still
'veery considerable, and there is no present indication
°' any falling off in the importation ; but notwith-
Prurling this circumstance, and the high state of the
ench Exchange, the whole is forwarded to the Con-
tinent, and the demand is rather stronger than it was
Reek or two since. The amount of gold received
from Australia has been small, and has nearly all been
sent into the Bank."
