CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELTE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market is rather quieter, the in-
quiries at the Bank of England as well as in other
quarters being rather below the recent daily ave-
rage. The rates, however, continue to exhibit
firmness; the continuous flow of gold into the
-nanik of England still encouraging, the opinion
that an advance may shortly take place.
The principal alterations exhibited in the Bank
of England return for the week ending Wednesday
last, are an important decline in the reserve of notes
and stock of bullion, and a reduction in the other
securities. Subjoined are the particulars :

hand.

The commercial advices just received from Bom-
bay are of .a favourable character. The piece goods
17"tkets was rather active, the importers having
become desirous of realising, as the season had com-
menced, and considerable transactions took place at
Ind prices. The produce markets were quiet, but
cotton tended upwards. There was a good demand
or money, at steady rates, although no pressure was
anticipated. In exchange on England extensive
transactions were concluded at higher quotations,
and Freights
