MONEY MARKET.

In consequence of the demand for money at this season, all de-
scriptions of securities have fallen about one per cent. from the
quotations of last month.

EXCHAYGE.

The rate of exchange on London at six mouths, which at the
date of our last issue was 1.9 'id. to I.lod. per rupee, rose soon after
the departure of the mail to 1.10 !i, and subsequently to 1.104
to 1-14 at which latter rate it has continued up to the present
date. Drafts at 30 days may be quoted at 1.9'1. Exchange on
Calcutta at 60 days' sight is quoted at re. 98, and on China also
at 60days at ra. 218 per 100 dollars.
(From the Calcutta Overland Star, March 20.)
CALCUTTA, MARCH 19.

The Money Market is nearly as before, but there has been
lately more demand for accommodation, and more tightness is
experienced in respect to operations generally ; bazaar rates of in-
terest and discount are slightly higher, and it is apprehended that
the next Government Opium sale, to be held on the 21st proximo,
may make the market more difficult, and probably help to lift the
rates for transactions ; as yet the quotations of the hanks are with-
out alteration front those in our issue of the 7th be4ent ; remit.
tanees in specie by Government up country are at presex tat about
the rate of 5,00,000 rupees per week, supposed to be in trovision
for operations on the frontiers. This helps to the change i tithe
position of the market.

Government Loans—Transactions in these investments are •t
present limited, in consequence of their reduced value in the
market, to which holders are unwilling to submit ; but, unlexo the
outward remittances by the mail be more than of late, and the
receipts of bullion and specie from China considerable, the value
of these securities must give way to pressure on the money market.
Bank Shares —Excepting shares of the Union, which have
declined 15rs. per share since our issue of the 7th inst., these

operations may, however, tend to support it. The Bank of
Western India has declared a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent.
per annum on the operations of the last half-year.
Exchange Market—As anticipated, the exchange has advanced;
the bulk of transactions are still, however, at Is. 103 d. to Is. 100.
but some operations have obtained at Is. 10. Id. per Co.'s rupee Jar
bills at 10 months' date; it is evident that the exchange is kept
down only by the Government treasury being open for bills at
ls. 10d. for Co.'s rupee. The following are current, with upward
tendency :

Treasury Bills, at 30 days' sight, according to amount, at Is. 9d. to
Is. 91d. per Co.'s rupee.
Agra Bank, at sight to 6 months' Fight, for sums under 204 to
above 5001. at Is. 9d. to Is. 9i-d. per Co.'s rupee.
Bank of %Ncstern India, at sight to 6 months' sight, at Is. 9d. to
I s. 90. per Co.'s rupee.
Navy Bills, at 3 days' sight, at Is. 9d. to Is. 91d. per Co.'s rupee.
Bank ditto, at 30 and 60 days' sight, at Is. 91-d. to Is, 91d. per
Co.'s rupee.
Union Bank at 31'days to 6 months' sight, at Is. 9d. to Is. 911 d.
per Co.'s rupees.
Private drafts against-shipments, at 6 months' sight to 10 months'
date at Is. 101 d. to 16.10 id. per Co.'s rupee.
Agency on London correspondents at 30 days to six months'
sight, according to amount, at Is. 94d. to Is. 101 d. per Co.'s rupee.
Agency drafts for remittances at:6 months' sight, (according to
the report of the Chamber of Commerce in the past week, have
averaged Is. 101 d. per Co.'s rupee.

Government advances against shipments to London or Liverpool,
on bills at 6 months' sight, reduced to Is. 10d. per Co.'s rupee.
FREIGHTS.—Tonnage is scarce, and there is scarcely any avail-
able for dead weight. Arrivals of late have been very insuteieut
to the demand. Our present quotations show advances of about
ss. per ton on the rates of the 7th instant, and have still ass ap-
ward tendency.
