MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—A very rapid advance in the value of silver but-
lion has taken place from the 27th of May to the 31st (yester-
day). The Mexican dollar, which at the first of these dates
was worth 4s. 91d., has risen to 4s. 10A1. ; the Spanish pillar
dollar ha; risen from 45. Mid. to 45. I I d., or 4s. 11 d. ; and
silver from 4s. Hid. to 4s. 11 0. It is generally supposed that
this rise it to be attributed to the raisin,- of the rates of ex-
change on India bills by the East India Company, whigh was
at the time, expected to cause a drain of silver bullion. Thin
supposition is strongly confirmed by the fact, that of the dif-
ferent kinds of bullion above enumerated, the Spanish pillar
dollar has advanced the most. This is the coin that is readily
taken in Chiba, and which therefore has a fietitions value,
which in operations with that country raises it above the mere
bullion value. Hence an advance in this particular coin occa-
sions the opinion that it is for remittances in the direction of
China that it is in request. The East India Company have
advanced the rates since the 26th of May in all the presidencies,
raising that on Calcutta from 2s. to 2s. Id., that on Bombay
from 2s. Op. to 2s. 1 Id., and that on Madras from 2s. Oid. to
2s. 11/2d. It is thought likely that the real object of this ad-
vance of the rate is to prevent any offers being made for their
paper 011 India, singe, with the expenses of the Affghan and
Chinese wars, it is not improbable that so much revenue may
be absorbed abroad that there is comparatively but a small
amount to be sent to England.

SUN.—The Funds closed very firm, and the final bargaia
in Consuls for immediate transfer was made at 921 ; the last
quotation for the Account was 93A 93i, with a firm appear..
ance ; Bank Stock, 1671 1681 ; India Stock, 250 252 ;
Exchequer Bills, Old, 41 44; Advertised, 36 38 rem.
The books for transfer in Consols and most of the other
Stocks are now closed preparatory to the payment of the July
Dividends; bargains for the future until the 15th of that
month will only be for a time, transfers not being permitted.
except by special permission of the Directors, and then only
under particular circumstances.

Eastern Counties, 9i 9i ; Northern and Eastern, 42 43 ;
Blackwall, II Ili; and Brighton, 358. 3.5 i per Share.

the Three per Cents., 214 24; Spanish Five per Cents.,
226 ; and the Three per Cents., 234 24.
It will be observed that Spanish Stock has rallied since the
afternoon, and recovered from the intelligence of Senor Rull's
resignation; whether he or any one else be Minister, the position
of the Bondholders cannot be altered, while the finances remain
in the state they are.

although money continues scarce in this market, prices are
steady. Belgian Bonds were 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents., 524 ; the Five per Cents. ICI 101 i ;
