The negotiation of bills of exchange was concluded
last night at rates somewhat below those of Tuesday, as
regards the principal continental cities. Paris, 90 days,
was taken at 25 65 to 70, Antwerp 25 67f to 721, Ham-
burgh 13 134, and Trieste 11 40 to 45.
The Banker's Magazine for March states, that " the
last advices from the United States say, that a disposi-
tion appears to exist in several of the States of the
Union, to introduce the present banking system of New
York, which, if adopted by them, will necessarily absorb
considerable amounts of the various State loans. Ac-
cording to the system which obtains in New York, all
individuals or associations organised under the general
banking law are required to deposit with the State
Comptroller, as security for their circulating notes,
State and United States loan, each for one-half of the
amount of their issues. The notes, before they can b.
put into circulation, must be registered and countersigned
by the comptroller, which can only be done by him upon
the actual receipt of the required deposits. Six per cent.
stocks can be thus deposited at their par value, and Five
per Centf. at rates equivalent thereto. Should this
system be generally adopted, it will readily be seen what
a large amount of the stocks designated will be required
to meet its provisions.
The amount of precious metals exported from London
during the week to Thursday last was only 25,000
ounces in silver bars to Belgium.
The English Stock Market hag been rather fluctuating
again, but there is not a great deal doing. Consols have
been 946 to 95*, and are now 95 to *. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. realise 971 :Exchequer-
bills have been quoted 545. to 575. premium. India
Stock is worth 2671.
The Foreign Investments have been quiet, if we except
Peruvian, in which there have been a good many bar-
gains, at a decline to 73f and 71f for the Active, and to
32 and 304 for the Deferred. Mexican are steady at
296, Equador are 3-8- 4, and Buenos Ayres 52. Spanish
Three per Cents. flat at 361, and Russian Scrip only
to 14 premium.
Railway Shares have been without any essential al-
teration, but, perhaps, on the whole a little firmer.
