amount of Bullion has been received from abroad.

mand for discounts, there appears no prospect OF any
advance in the rates, and many suppose that the
Bank will reduce its minimum below u cent.
after the harvest has been secured. Consols have
luctuated during the week. and after touching Wy,
and raying to So, on receipt of more hopeful ac-
counts from the Continent, have again rcceded to

S-SATURDAY, August 25th, II 4. M.-Cotton:
The demand opens without much animation. On
the 10th, IA bales entered for Hayre, which
is a feature in the market.
MISUNDERSTANDING to the arrival of Indian
news, which speaks of decline in the value OF
Manufactured Goods the Market has been fiat; but
the continued advance in the material will not
allow prices at all to give way. Should the For
egn Exports prove to be more than sufficient, and
no demand arise before the conclusion of the Home
Trade, shall soon accumulation of stock,
but do not anticipate any very material reduction in
prices. e., b. y Co.
