MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

The directors of the Alliance Bank of London
and Liverpool have this day made a call of £5 per
share, payable on the 6111 of October next.
It has been announced that the interest on the
Exchequer-bills which become payable next month
will be reduced from its present rate of 3 per cent.
to 21 per cent. The measure is a natural result of
the low terms now current in the discount market,
and is desirable not only for the benefit of the re-
venue, but also to prevent these securities from at-
taining a premium that would render them lesseli-
gible for ordinary banking purposes. Looking at
the number of competing securities in the form of
railway debentures, &c., it is not expected that any
reduction below 21 per cent. will be witnessed,
whatever may yet be the increase in the abundance
of money.

About £213,000 in gold, chiefly Russian, was
bought by the Bank to-day.

The following are the rates of discount is the
principal continental cities, viz.: Paris, Hamburg,
and Berlin, 3 per cent- ; Vienna and St. Petersburg,
5 ; Frankfort and Brussels, 21; Turin, 41 ; and
Amsterdam, 31 per cent.

The demand for money to-clay in Lombard-street
was only moderate. The rates for good bills ranged
from 14 to 2 per cent. At the Bank of England
the applications were below the average.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 68.15, and closed at the same quotation
both for money and the account, being g per cent.
better than yesterday.

At Vienna yesterday a fresh fall of 4to per
cent, took place in the Austrian funds, and the ex-
change rose from 129 to 130.75.

rates continue easy.

A further decided improvement has taken place
in the aspect of the English Stock Market, and a
rise of 7, per cent. has been established, Consols
being 9321 for money and the 4th proximo. This
movement has been occasioned by extensive pur-
