MONEY 111A_RKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The demand for money is steadily increasing, but
the rates continue to range nearly Q per cent. below
the minimum of the Bank of England.
A small quantity of gold, viz., 25,000, was with-
drawn from the Bank of England yesterday for
exportation.

No alteration of importance was exhibited in
the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.

A considerable amount of business took place in
the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, and the

The Directors of the Bank of Egypt have issued
their report in anticipation of their meeting on the
17th inst., which states that the net profits, includ-
ing a balance brought forward from the preceding
half year, amounted to £13,554 14s. 4d., out of
which the usual dividend at the rate of 7 per cent.
per annum for the half year, free of income-tax,
will be recommended.

The suspension has taken place of Mr. T. Ruslat
Browne, merchant and insurance agent, with
liabilities estimated at about £60,000, and the assets
are expected to prove favourable. The failure is
attributed to the non-receipt of remittances from
Australia.

The sum of £20,455 was paid yesterday into the
Indian Treasury on account of the Punjaub Rail-
way ; £15,785 to the credit of the Scinde Railway ;
and £21,500 in respect of the Indus Steam Flotilla.

The prospectus has been issued of a new Italian
line, to be entitled the Turin and Savona Railway,
with a capital of £2,408,000, including £368,000
for a branch to Acqui. According to the terms of
the concession £480,000 of this sum will be a sub-
vention or free gift from the Government and com-
munes, £BOO,OOO in shares, and the remainder in
obligation, of which £368,000, the sum required
for the Acqui branch, is to enjoy a Government
guarantee. It is explained that the distance from
Turin to the port of Savona is 90 miles, and the
branch to Acqui will be 30 miles, making a total
length of 120 miles. One half of the share capital
is stated to have been taken in Italy, and the re-
mainder will, no doubt, be speedily subscribed.
A general improvement has taken place to-day
in the Stock Exchange Markets, and more anima-
tion has prevailed than is usual on Saturday.

proved to 751; London and County to 411; Crystal
