CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is a moderate amount of business going on
in the discount market on previous terms. For the
moment there is no decided tendency caber way ;
but inasmuch as the public have to a large extent
obtained the supplies they immediately require,
and gold continues to flow into the Bank of Eng-
land, the impression is that slight indications of
greater easiness may be expected at an early date.

The Hansa, from New York, has arrived with
...17,358 in gold, and it is expected that the receipts
from
that quarter will continue on a moderate scale.
Supplies are also expected from the antipodes,
which, in the absence of an active demand for ex-
portation, are likely to find their way into the
Vaults of the Bank of England.
Nothing further has transpired relative to tilt-
contract reported to have been entered into by an
eminent house here with the Bank of France, for
supplying the latter with gold. if it should require
such assistance before the compilation of the next
monthly return.
About £52,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.
The payment due on the Venezuelan loan of 1863
on the 20th inst. is deferred till the 21st of Eeptem-
ber, in order to give time for the receipt of more
positive intelligence as to the pclitical condition of
that country, and the prospect of the formation of a
solid Government.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

1863. 1862.
Great Western
orth-Western 111,645 111,063
South-Western . 27,286 29,256

Brighton
Midland 46,446 43,302
South-Eastern
Great Northern
Lancashire and Yorkshire 39,240 35,632
Bristol and Exeter
Great Eastern
North British
Edinburgh and Glasgow
Great South-Western of Ireland 9,067 9,082

These returns, with a few exceptions, are of a
satisfactory character:—Oa the North-Western
there is an increase of £582 ; Midland, £3,144 ;
South-Eastern, £453; Great Northern, £1,097;
Lancashire and Yorkshire, £3,608; North British,
£2,304 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, £796 ; while the
Great Western shows a decrease of £3,741 ; the
South-Western, £1,970; the Brighton, £1,043;

of Ireland, £l5.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 671. 45c.
Rather firm, but inanimate.
A small amount of business has b2en recorded
to-day in the market for the English Funds, and ti
it has not led to any material change, Consols being
931 for transfer, and 931 1 for the account. The g,
tendency seems favourable, but there is very little
speculation in progress. The New Threes and gt,
Reduced Annuities are firm at 941 ; the 30 Years'
Annuities at 14; and Exchequer Bills are ls. dis. ii
to 2s. prem ; India Stock is quoted 225; ditto 5
per Cents, are 10814 ; and the Bonds, 17s. 19s. 11
prem.
A fair business has taken place in the Foreign "It'
Market, and prices are not quite so firm. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1862, are 673 68; Ditto, 1863, 5 to
41 die. ; Ditto Consolides, 481 49 ; Greek, 331 i ;
Ditto Coupons, 151 1 ; Mexican 381 1 ; Spanish II
Passive, 33 331 ; Ditto Certificates, 121 ; Italian, t
71 711; Portuguese, 481 4 ; Peruvian, 831 ; Rue-
sian, 921 93 ; Venezuelan, 561 ; Brazilian, 104 ;
Egyptian 1031 1041 ; Granada, 15; and the Con-
ederate Loan has advanced to 24 23 dis.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
dull, the chief dealings being connected with the
half-monthly settlement now in progress ; prices
however are generally firmer. Great Eastern and
North Western have improved 55.; Midland, 10s. ;
Caledonian, 155.; and Great Northern and North
Eastern York, £l. Lancashire and Yorkshire,
however, declined sa. ; and London and Blackwall,

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain
inactive at about previous quotations.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are also in
very limited request. Imperial Ottoman Bank
realise 18; Alliance of London and Liverpool, 36 ;
London and County, 471 ; General Credit and
Finance, 21; and Hudson Bay 2.
