CITY NEWS---THIS DAN.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return, completed to the
11th June, as was generally anticipated, exhibits
some rather unfavourable changes. The bullion
has been further diminished, and there is a decrease
in the reserve of notes. The increased demand for
money is shown in an important addition to the
Other Securities, and there is also a large augmen-
tation in the Public Deposits consequent upon the
revenue collections. The other items of the balance-
sheet, and the, changes they present, are shown in
the subjoined table :

The directors of the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada have issued their half-yearly report, from
which it appears that the total receipts amounted
to £419,469, and the expenses to £323,761 is. 6d.,
showing the improved result of £95,707 18s. 6d. as
the net profit upon the six months' operations.
The working expenses have been already reduced
to 77 per cent, of the receipts as against 84 per
cent. for the corresponding period of the previous
year. The balance of £95,707 181. 6d. in favour
of revenue has been applied in and towards the
payment of the Statutory Bond interest of the At-
lantic and St. Lawrence Railway Company, pay-
able at Portland, and similar interest payable on
mortgages on lands belonging to the company, and
in reduction of other liabilities immediately recover-
al3le under legal process.
A moderate demand for money is reported to-day,
and 3 per cent, is the minimum quotation in the
general market, as well as at the Bank of England.
Rather more firmness is manifested in consequence
of the directors not having made any change in
their regulations; but the prospect of continuous
Nvithdrawlls'of gold even still encourage the opinion
that an advance may have to be made at an early
date, and full terms are therefore required for ac
commodation even on the best descriptions of mer-
cantile paper.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of £1,237 on account of the Ecuador dividend
fund.

The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce
re-opened on Wednesday after the holidays ; busi-
ness, however, has been inactive, and for several of
the principal staples lower prices have been current,
via., for sugar, coffee, rice, and spices. Tea, how-
ever, has been in good demand at enhanced rates ;
saltpetre has continued dull; but a better inquiry
has existed for tallow for both present and forward
delivery, the present quotations being—for P.Y.C.
on the spot, 465. 9d. : and last three months, 48s.
9d. to 495. per cwt.
The subjoined remarks upon the progress of
business in American securities are from the " Cir-
cular" of Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co :—" The
market for American securities, at the opening of
the week, was very much depressed, but has subse-
t quently rallied, and there is a renewed demand for
most descriptions of stocks, but especially for
United States Five per Cent. Bonds, at improved
quotations.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the yearly meeting of the Commercial
Dock Company, held to-day, Mr. Clare Sewell in
the chair, a dividend, for the half-year, of 21 per
cent., and also a bonus of 11 per cent. (both free
of Income-tag) upon the capital stack of the com-
pany, was unanimously agreed to.
There has been very little animation in the Eng-
lish Stock Market to-day, the speculative dealings
having been limited, and the variations unimpor-
tant. Consols are 911 I for money, and 911 for
account. The New Threes remain at 911 1, the
Reduced at 911 1. Exchequer Bills are rather
firmer at 3s. to Gs. prem. India 5 per Cent. Loan
has improved to 1071 1.
In the Foreign department the transactions have
been of a limited character, and prices, in some in-
stances, show a downward movement. Turkish 6
per Cents., are 821 t ; ditto 1858, 69t 701; ditto
New Scrip remains at 3s. preen ; Mexican at 311.
RuSsian Scrip is heavy at 1 'l. Sardinian have
receded to 81/, and Italian 5 per Cents, to 711 t.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued exceedingly dull, but, in some instances,
prices have shown increased firmness. Great
Western, North Western, and South Western have
improved ss. ; and Bristol and Exeter, 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are also dull.
South Austrian and LombardoNeuetian have re-
ceded to 221 ti ; East Indian realise 1061 ; Grand
Trunk of Canada, 23 ; and Great Western of
Canada, 111.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
continued inactive, with little change of importance
to record in prices. Oriental Bank have declined
ss. ; London and Brazilian, ss. ; Red Sea and India
Telegraph and Rio de Janeiro Improvement remain
at previous rates ; Ottoman Gus Scrip is nominally
quoted 1 to 1 premium.
