aIOIIEII MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Ample provision appears to have been made for
the monthly liquidation of commercial accounts,
110 embarrassments of importance having taken
place. The necessary preparations, however, stimu•
lated the inquiry, and the rates continue firm,
with rather an upward tendency, although the
actual movement up to the present time has been
merely fractional, as accommodation is still obtain-
able on lower terms in the general market than at
the Bank of England,
The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway
of Canada for the week ending the 17th ult.
amounted to £11,743, against £8,975 last year.

The Canada from Boston has brought £12,200 in

empowering the directors to raise on mortgage a

Continued quietude has prevailed in the market
for Public Securities to-day, and the variation has
been unimportant. The settlement of the account
is now the principal business attended to. Consols

BETTING AT 314kNCHMSTER.-TtTESDAY.

There was a strong disposition .to get on Tho Dane for
the Grand National. The only other horse in request for
this event was Thomastown, against whom all the 100's to
6 that could be got were taken. —For the Two Thousand
Guineas Old Calabar would have been supported at 4 to
1, but 7to 2 was declined. There was evidently a disposi-
tion to bet against The Marquis, but 7 to 1 was the highest
we saw laid.--Schism is still in force for Chester Cup, 20 to
1 to some small sums was taken, and 30 to 1 would hare
been readily taken about Vest colt. Closing prices :
