CITY NEWS---THIS DAY .

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Owing to the large extent to which the com-;
mercial public supplied their discount requirements,
under the impression that the directors of the Bank
of England at their meeting yesterday might have
advanced their minimum, the inquiry for the
moment BEi partially subsided. The market,
although quieter, however, has lost none of the
firmness -which has recently been manifested, 2 per
cent. being the general charge for the best descrip-
tions of. mercantile securities.

The Bank of England return, completed to Wed-
nesday, exhibits some important changes; but,
upon the whole, it is more favourable than many
persons anticipated. A small reduction has taken
place in the bullion, but the total is still maintained
at a high figure ; the other securities have • been
augmented by the increased inquiry for discounts,
and the Government balances have received a
further addition. Subjoined are the particulars :

The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets during the last few days have not
been very extensive. Tea at public sale sold slcwly
at about previous prices, while sugars in some in-
stances were a shade cheaper. Coffee, however, has
been in great demand, and fine and superior de-
scriptions of colonial have slightly advanced. Rice
has been in limited request, while a downward
movement has taken place in the value of saltpetre
and tallow, P.Y.C. on the spot having receded to
48s. 3d. ; and for last three months' delivery, to
495. 9d. to 50s. per cwt.

were quoted 68fr. 75c., being sc. lower than yes-
terday.

The Liverpool cotton market to-day opened with
a steady feeling, and the sales about 5,000 bales.
The English Stock Market opened heavily, and
on the negotiation of a few sales a further decline
of k 'per cent, took place ; shortly afterwards, how-
eve?, buyers came forward, and although they only
operated to a limited extent a recovery in prices
ensued. Owing to the dulness of speculation a few
transactions are sufficient to influence the tendency
of values. Consols are 938 4 for transfer and the
4th proximo. The New Threes and the Reduced
are flat at 934•; Red Sea Telegraph Annuities re-
main at 218 ; India 5 per Cent. Loan is flat at 1088 I.
The transactions in the Foreign Market have
been moderately active, and prices have shown no
important variation. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854,
are 86 87 ; ditto, 1858, 718 72k ; ditto New Loan
Scrip, 1/ dis. ; and the Consolides, 331 34;
Mexican Stock is flat at 281 ; and the Egyptian
Scrip, 2d issue, has receded to 9f-, prem.; Portu-
guese are 46i ; and the New I oan Scrip remains at
II prem. ; Italian 5 per Cents. have receded to
; Russian Scrip is prem., and Venezuelan
huie receded to 254 s.
Ihe operations in the Railway Share Market
have been moderately active, and owing to a few
speculative sales prices have generally shown :ess
firmness. Caledonians, Great Westerns, and Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire have declined about 55., and
Great Northern A Stock and North-Western, 10s.
South-Western, however, have improved about ss.
In the Foreign Market a further advance was
apparent in Recife and San Francisco, which were
dealt in at 18 to 181 ; Great Luxembourg brought
141, and Turin and Savona, 2 ; South Austrian
and Lombardo-Venetian were flat, and receded
to 22.

The Colonial lines exhibited no change of im-
portance.

in several instances, a shade firmer. London and
South African, with £l6 paid, realise 19 to 191;
and Ottoman Bank have improved to 29 and 29/ ;

to 110.
