CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Affairs continue quiet in discount circles. The
Wants of the public must either be exceedingly
limited or else they are keeping their bills back in
the hope of gettieg them negotiated at cheaper
rates before many days are over. The demand to•
day for monetary assistance has been less than
the recent average, which has been very restricted.
Capital, however, is abundant, but the quotations
48 yet continue at per cent. for three months'
paper.

The failure has been reported of Messrs Ford,
Curtis, and Curtis, ship provision merchants and
general shippers, of the Minories. So far as can at
Present be estimated, the liabilities are £lOO,OOO,
bat nothing of an authentic character is stated
about the assets.
Mr James D. Thomson (Messrs. Thomson, Wat-
son, and Co., St. Peter's-chambers, Cornhill, direc-
tor of the European Bank, and Mr J. W. Holland,
director of the Provincial Banking Corporation,
/lave joined the board of the Aberaman (late Craw-
shay Bailey's) Iron Works. More than the entire
capital has been applied for.
Accounts from Constantinople to the 13th inst.
state that the Government has abandoned the pro-
loosed new issue of Consolides. The Serghis of 10
Years, which carried 6 per cent. interest, and 20 per
cent. sinking fund, are to be converted into Schima
bearing 5 per cent. interest, without any sinking
fund. The " Salim,' is a Treasury debt, and the
bonds are merely certificates, having no resemblance
Whatever to those of the Consolides.

A slight downward tendency took place in the
foreign exchange yesterday afternoon.

Two O'CLOCK.

The English Stock Market, after recovering the
fractional depreciation which occurred yesterday,
has continued to present a firm aspect. The
?ands have been well maintained, Consols being
88Z- 89 for money, and 89k I for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 88} s ;
ttchequer Bills, 255. to 15s. ; India 5 per Cents.,
1031 1041 ; and the Bonds, 153. die,

Spanish Securities continue to attract chief at•
tention in the Foreign Market, where there is more
animation. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 701 ;
Consolides, 501 4 ; Mexican, 284 4 ; do. New,
264'; Greek, 231 4; Spanish Passive, 3014; do.
Certificates, 13a ; and the Confederate Loan,
784 794.
In the Railway Share Market a firmer tone has
Prevailed, and prices generally show an upward
tendency. Great Northern A stock, North
Western, and South Eastern have each improved
I°4 Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
Brighton and Midland each 55.; while London,
Chatham, and Dover and South Western have each
declined 4.
The Foreign and Colonial lines continue inactive
'Without any material change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been dull
and prices have remained without change of im-
portance. Alliance Bank, however, have improved
to 614 a; London Engineering Company shares
are quoted 1 to 2 prem. ; Maritime Credit, If,
Prem.; and Natal Investment, 4 to 1 prem.
