exception of the Funds, which are dull at the lower
Prices current last night. The fortnightly settlement
commenced this morning, and is engaging attention to

covery. Railways are dull, in spite of the known

the Stock Exchange money is very abundant at 1 per
cent.

t There were no bullion operations at- the Bank yes-
terday. Messrs. Mocatta and Goldsmid's Bullion
Circular has the following remarks :—" There have
been no arrivals of silver of any importance this
'Pcntb, and bars remain at 602 d, with rather a firm
tendency. In Mexican dollars there has been little
doing. An exceptional order for China for to-
morrow's mail necessitated the purchase of a limited
aniount at 591, 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,
58i. The arrivals of eagles from America are still
very considerable, and there is no present indication
of any falling off in the importation ; but notwith-
'l-landing this circumstance, and the high state of the
trench Exchange, the whole is forwarded to the Con-
tinent, and the demand is rather stronger than it was
‘,4 Week or two since. The amount of gold received
from Australia has been small, and has nearly all been
'eat into the Bank."
