Quite au unexpected demand for exchange on Lon
don was noticed late yesterday afternoon for the packet
this morning. The market opened at 1861, but with
the increasing demand under a scarcity of prime bills,
the rates advanced to 1861 06, at which prices the
chief sales were made; but AT the close the leading
bankers declined business except at l06i These rates
are regarded as temporary and cannot be maintained
as the chief cause of the advance attributed TO
desire Of some Of the Southern banks who have bal
ances here to transfer them 10 Europe, not wishing to
take the risk Of conscation, of which there s no pos
sbe danger Since the sailing Of the steamer no bust
ness has been transacted bot quote good CONNER

There is no change in the Money market. Gall
loans are easily negotiated at and cents but lit

natures very irregular.
The Bank statement for the week will show high
spece average; Notwithstanding the withdrawal from
the Slb-Treasury for Government purposes the banks
have gained in specie. The arrival from California
has contributed 10 this result well az the general
tendency Of the bullion movement 10 this center.
