bullion to the extent of £56,400.
With reference to the rumour which we rate;
tioned last week of the Commissioners for
R eduction of the National Debt taking £2,oooany
of Exchequer Bonds, it is now said that 21,60°,7y
of the Bonds have been taken up alread,l
the public, leaving only £400,000 for the Lie

missioners.
There have been several arrivals of gold during,
the week. The Golden Era, £200,000 ; the gern
maid, £BO,OOO ; and the Ballarat, £22o,ooTh,ad
from Australia. The total imports are toestima'e,
at £650,000, and the exports at £400,0
the I £500.000

A statement of the affairs of Messrs. Allen
Anderson, of London, shows liabilities to the
or
00° tent of £273,000, and assets only £79,'3
about ss. to ss. 6d. in the pound. There '-ut
claim on the estate of M'Henry and Co., of above
£173,000 ; and it is now said, though Nvf.,llll
not with what foundation, that the latter will °a
pay about 2s. 6d. Much will, of course, de,P7c,
upon the realization of the estate of Mr. D'
Oliver,' of which M'Henry and Co. are lard
creditors. Nearly eighty ships are advertised ot,
sale on the 7th of next month, and as the aen
ances of Mr. Oliver will be taken in payillen'rhr
their full nominal value, they will, no doubt, fe'e
t of I good price

Throughout the manufacturing districts therae
seems to be a general complaint of inactivity 3,1 L,
receding prices. At Manchester there is an
position to give orders, and what business is d° of
is at reduced rates, with the exception, perban
goods for the Mediterranean trade. In the W°!:'+epr
trade, transactions are very limited, though Will
goods are becoming more in demand, vilith°ll..r
however, any improvement in value. In NottiVa
ham, business is said to be at a stand-still, atte„ntl;
being absorbed by the state of affairs in the 140
but the Hosiery trade is comparatively active.
u
e
The Corn markets during the week have it
it
rather steady, holders not being inclined to su"'".
to a reduction ; but the tendency of prices is ,
dently towards a decline, as farmers will fin%,
to their advantage to realise before importati°'it
shall have lowered the market to any extent.
would not, however, be easy to obtain the Pere
sent quotations if sales of Wheat or Flour W

pressed.

Our SHARE MARKET has had some severe flll°-
tuations, influenced by the news from the Crimea ;'"
boor
the amount of real business, however, has
small, the operations having been chiefly those .01
speculators. It is a healthy symptom of the State
of the body politic that, in a time like this, so little
real stock is pressed upon this market. If
public are doing anything, it is picking 11P st°co
that offers at a low rate in the panic to hold as of
investment. London stock alone is heavy, and
this there have been some real sales to some extent'
The local stocks, insurances, and others, are

COTTON.—There has been a good demand dal
the week, notwithstanding the dull accounts fr°o
Manchester ; but, though the imports have be of
trifling, holders have freely offered, and prices 63,
middling have consequently given way about 140
per lb. The sales for the week up to Fri 00
amounted to 39,130 bales, of which 1,950 wereoo
speculation, and 4,250 for export, leaving 3200
for the trade. TO-DAY, the advices per Ni this
were received, but they had little effect on ,;011
market. The sales reached 7,000 bales, of wr,ea
1,000 were for export, and the market
steadily, without alteration in prices. The folio of
