CITY, Two o'Ci.,ocK.
There is a slight increase in the demand for dis-
count accommodation, and the rates are a shade
easier in consequence. A few days ago 1 1 per
cent. were the quotations for first-class bills, but
per cent, must now be quoted at the minimum
accepted in general discount circles. It is very
probable that business will become still more active
Owing to the provision that will have to be made
for the new loans and joint-stock companies now
before the public.

The English Stock Market still exhibits de-
pression. Shortly after the commencement of busi-
ness sales were again pressed, and a decline of 1
per cent. ensued, Consols being 93 -2- for money,
and 532.1 for the 4th proximo. There appears to
be an inclination on the part of the public to sell
English securities for the purpose of investing the
Proceeds in new loans and other undertakings.
The New Threes are flat at 932 ; the Reduced
Steady at 931 4 ; Exchequer Bills at 245. to 275.
Prem.; India 5 per Cent. Loan is at 108-7- 1; and
the 54 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 1111.
Foreign Securities have exhibited continued
heaviness, and the transactions are restricted.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are steady, at 851 86 ;
_ditto, 1858, have receded to 731 74; ditto, New
Loan Scrip, to 21 prem. ; ditto, paid up, to 691
7o; Spanish Certificates, to 91 ; Moorish, to
9.31, ; Egyptian Scrip, to 131 14 prem ; Buenos
Ayres, to 91 ; and Italian 5 per Cents., to 711
The New Peruvian Loan is 1 1 prem. ; the Por-
tliß uese, 21 1 prem. ; and Venezuelan, 21 I prem.
Increased heaviness has prevailed in the Railway
Share Market owing to speculative sales. Great
Westerns and North Westerns have receded ss. ;
taneasMre and Yorkshire, Midland, and Norfolk
10s. ; North Eastern (York) 15s. ; and South
0
astern £l. Great Northerns, however, have im-
proved about £1 owing to the favourable dividend
declared for the past half year.
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
bas been little change of importance. Great
Luxembourg have declined to 141 ; San Paulo re-
wain steady at 91 ; East Indian, 104 i ; Great Indian i
Peninsula, 1021 103; and Grand Trunk of Canada
are firmer at 22.

Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
are fiat. Alliance of London and Liverpool have
declined to 12k ; Chartered of India, London, and
China to 911 ; Union of London to 314, ; and Pen-
Insular Steam to 711.
