CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

The Money Market still continues to show
symptoms of activity and of firmness in the rates.
The diminution in the supplies out of doors by the
'withdrawal of large sums on the part of the Joint
Stock Banks, and the preparations for the fort-
nightly settlements in the foreign and share de-
partments at the Stock Exchange have assisted to
keep the quotations up to the official minimum of
6 per cent. for the beat short•dated paper. Nu.'
merous applications have therefore been made to
the Bank of England, and in the Stock Exchange
loans for short periods have been in request.
The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised an influx of £20,000 in bar gold.
Recent commercial failures are stated to have
obliged the stoppage of three firms engaged in the
sugar trade at Glasgow. The houses now alluded
to are Messrs. John Reid, jun., and Co., sugar mer-
chants, Messrs. Baird, Paterson, and Baird, and
Messrs. Wilson and Co., sugar refiners. The
amount of the liabilities in each case are repre-
sented at about £BO,OOO.

The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under ;
