CITY NEWS---TIIIS DAY.

CITY, TWEL'VE O'CLOCK.

There is still a tendency towards greater firm-
ness in the general discount market, but it does not
attract the slightest notice, because the applications
generally increase during the last few weeks of the
quarter. The rates, moreover, show a little more
firmness, but this alst, is regarded as altogether un-
important, because accommodation is still obtain-
able on terms which must be considered much
below the averege, while there is a vast abundance
of money for which there is not likely to be em-
ployment for some time to come, sufficient to pro-
duce eny permanent alteration.
An instalment of 20 per cent. becomes due to-
morrow (17th inst.) on the Peruvian Loan for
X 5,500,000 Stock.
The directors of the New York Central Railroad
Company have declared a dividend of 3 per cent.
for the half-year, payable in London on and after

depressed, particularly for forward delivery. 13. Y C.

just the turn lower, Consuls being only 934 for
money, and 933 for the Bth pros., instead of 934 a,
and 935-, 1 respectively, at which they closed
yesterday afternoon. This slight degree of heavi-
Dees is attributable to some sales of money stock.
