CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is no alteration to-day in the demand for
money, or the terms upon which it is supplied.
The joint stock and private establishments, by ask-
ing full rates for the accommodation they afford,
are inducing a large portion of the mercantile com-
munity to take their securities to the Bank of Eng-
land.

There is an increase of £956 in the traffic re-
ceipts of the Brighton Railway, and of £3,226 on
the South Eastern for the past week.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days has been rather
inactive. Sugars in some instances have slightly de-
clined, but coffee is held for full rates. In tea only
limited transactions have been recorded owing to
the near approach of the public sales which com-
mence on the 21st inst. Rice has been in better
request at enhanced quotations, while a steady de-
mand has been experienced for spices and saltpetre.
Tallow has continued dull at 484. 3d. per cwt. on
the spot, and 50s. for last three month's delivery.
The interest on Danish 4 per Cent. Bonds will be
paid on and after the Ist proximo.
