CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
No alteration has been made to-day in the mini-
tatna rate of discoudt at the Bank of England. An
advance, amounting to 1 per cent., would scarcely
have created surprise, and the continuance of the
6 per cent, quotation has consequently produced a
very favourable effect at the Stock Exchange and in
banking circles.
The amount of specie to be taken out by the
Illora, which leaves to-day, is £656,590 ;of which
£153,390 is in gold for Alexandria, and £58,900 is
in gold, and 440,300 in silver, for Bombay.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to
this day are in round figures as under :-

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Routes
Were 67f. 40c.—Very firm.
There is a steady demand for discounts, and
bankers and brokers, encouraged by the absence of
any new measure on the part of the Bank Execu-
tive, are evincing a greater s.nclination for business.
The condition of the market during the next few
days, however, will much depend upon the advices
from Paris and the transactions in gold and silver
in this country.

Owing to the adjournment of the Bank Court
without an alteration in the minimum, the Funds
advanced on speculative purchases per cent., and
for the moment increased buoyancy seemed not im-
probable. Since then, however, despite the receipt
of higher prices from the Paris Bourse, less firm-
ness has prevailed, although the actual movement
is scarcely quotable. Consols for money are 921
and for the account, minus the dividend, 911. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities, in which a
moderate amount of business has been recorded, are
90;-1 i—a little firmer; Exchequer Bills continue at
83. to 4s. dis. ; India 5 per Cents, are 1081 y ; En-
ticed ditto, 1051; and the Bonds, 7s. prem.
There is decidedly more firmness in the Foreign
Market, but business is not active. Turkish 6 per
.Cents.) 1862, are 7OL- 71 ; ditto, Consolides, have
Improved to 481 d ; Mexican, 39! a ; Spanish Pas-
sive, 3411; do., Certificates, 13 4 ; Greek, 301- 31-1,
but the Coupons are heavy, 14f, I; Portuguese, are
steady at 49-,1; do., New Loan, 11 1 prem. ; Italian,
71fi' s ; and the Confederate Loan has dropped to
60 62.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued rather dull, but prices have generally exhi-
bited more firmness. North Western, North Eastern
(Berwick), and South Eastern have each improved
108•• and London and Brighton, XL
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have re-
Mained without change of importance.
Bank Shares continued in fair request, Union
of Australia have advanced to 381- ; and Imperial
Bank declined to 221.
In the Miscellaneous Market prices generally ex-
hibited little change of importance. Discount Cor-
poration shares ore quoted 121; Hudson Bay Com-
Pany, 131 1; and Royal Mail Steam, 74 75.
