CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Although a large number of commercial engage-
ments will arrive at maturity to-morrow, as usual,
the 4th of the month, the immediate demand for
discount accommodation is exceedingly quiet.
Indeed the necessary preparations have failed to
produce any effect either as regards the inquiry or
the terms upon which it is supplied.
Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris, and about 6-10ths per cent.
:higher here than in Hamburg.
The Ripon, which leaves to-morrow with the
India and China mails, will take out £300,659, of
which £9,000 is in gold, and the remainder in
silver.

The provisional certificates of shares in the
Italian Irrigation Canal Company will be ready
for delivery in exchange for banker's receipts, on
and after the 15th inst.
A fourth and last call of 255. per share has been
made by the directors of the Great Northern
Railway on the 5 per cent. irredeemable preference
'shares, payable on or before the 10th proximo.

Two O'CLOCK.
Nothing further has transpired in reference to
the affairs of Messrs. Z. C. Pearson and Co., but it
is understood that active exertions are still being
made to extricate the firm, if possible, from their
difficulties, as large remittances are daily expected
which would enable them to meet all their engage-,
ments.

The arrangements connected with the monthly
liquidation have formed the principal business
attended to in the Market for Public Securities
to-day, and in the absence of fresh transactions
either on speculation or for bona fide transfer,
affairs have presented an extremely quiet appearance.
Not the least inclination is evinced by the public
to extend operations, but the tendency of mone-
tary relations being favoarable, while politics, now
that the insurrectionary movement in Naples has
been checked, present no feature calculated to create
distrust. Quotations on the whole continue firm.
