CITY, TWELVE CV CLOCK.
Owing to the plentiful suppiy of money and the
reducLd teims upon which accommodation can be
obtained in the open market, the directors of the
Bank of England, it is thought, may deem it expe-
dient to modify their discount regulations, and
although the subjoct attracts but 'little attention, it
would not create the slightest sraprise if, at their
meeting to-morrow afternoon, they should adjust
the minimum quotation at 2, instead of 21 percent.
as at present. Even this concession, however,
would probably fail to bring them any great acces-
sion of business, because it would merely stimulate
competition "out of doors" owing to the excessive
supplies of unemployed money, and the moderate
demand for commercial and other purposes.
There is a steady influx of gold at the Bank of
England, an additional s'atmly of £66,000 having
been sent there yesterday. About £260,000 is
known to be coming forward from Australia, which,
together with remittances from the West Indies,
America, arc., will ensure a large importation of
specie during the next few weeks, but it is not
improbt.ble that the reports will shortly exhibit at
least a temporary augmentation, through the trans.
mission of the proceeds of the Turkish and Egyptian
loans.

Later advices from New York, viz., to the 9th
inst., report no change of importance in the money
market there, the rates for " call loans," as they
are termed, being 6 to 7 per cent., and for first
class bills also 6 to 7, with occasional transactions
in bankers' short acceptances at 5 per cent.

The bar silver by the Arato, from the West
Indies, has been disposed of at ss. lid. per ounce.

The foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, in
Most instances exhibited a slight advance.
Gold is now about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris, and 2-10ths per cent. higher
here than in Hamburg.

It has been ne,tified that, tenders for bills of
exchange on India will be received at the Bank of
England on the first Wednesday in each month.

Notice has been given that 900 bonds of the
second Russian 4,1- per Cent. Loan, amounting to
£90,000, have been drawn for redemption.
Only a small amount of business was transacted
in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and

prices were firmly supported. The sales were abou'

6,000 bales.
