ot DS kHa, H.
Banks from the Exchequer bonds due to-day and
impression IL entertained that further purchases
will be made The market was likewise strength
ened by the operations of the public, and by the
steady appearance of the foreign exchanges in the
discount market; and at the Bank demand for
money was very active further sum of about
9s 600 of Australian gold was taken to the Bank
to day.
The total retained out of the e2OO,OOO by the
Apglesea has heretofore been nearly Gl70 000-
Only q very limited amount of specie has been en-.
gagged to be dispatched by the steamer Colombo

exceed $500 600 The mail steamer Brazil, to.
morrow, will take out 92500 900 in gold.

pearaoce of the market at the close was very sses-
dy. Notwithstanding that the continued demand
for money was to-day active. and the market rath
er ssringent, full rates were exacted. The shares

orders, and most observers are of opinion that the
demand is not bona fde.
