MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

Messrs. Bering Brothers and Co. have to-day
received £2,484 on account of the New Granada
dividends.

The Parana, from Brazil, is reported to have ar-
rived at Lisbon en route for Southampton, having
on board about £45,000.

The last price from Paris this evening was 68f.
15c., showing a renewed decline of a quarter per
cent.

About £68,000 in gold was taken to the Bank
to-day.

The corn-market was dull this morning, and the
rates of last week were not readily paid.
The upward movement in the Liverpool cotton-
market continues, and the sales to-day were at an
advance of about lt-d. per:lb. on the prices of Friday
last.

The returns of the importation of cotton for the
five months ending the 31st ult. show that the total
receipts from the United States were only 30,396
bales, against 4,946,622 bales in the corresponding
period of last year, and 5,384,131 bales in the cor-
responding period of 1860. Our aggregate impor-
tations from all countries were 1,267,881 bales,
which is equal only to 23 per cent. of the total re-
ceipts in the first five months of last year, and to
little more than 19 per cent. of the amount in the
same months of 1860. India has contributed
734,034 bales, Egypt 308,722, and Brazil 75,133,
and these quantities are about double those that were
furnished from the same countries in the like period
of last year. Our miscellaneous receipts from
various ➢laces not specifically distinguished have
been 119,596 bales, against 27,996 in 1861.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.
CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Mar-
kets have been limited during the last few days,
and, in some instances, prices have shown less
buoyancy. Sugars have slightly given way ; but
good and fine descriptions of coffee have realised
t
full rates. Tea has remained dull, and without
change ; and a limited business has been recorded
in rice, fruit, and spices. For saltpetre the demand
has continued inactive, although prices have re-
mained steady. In the tallow market there has been
more activity, the advices from St. Petersburg
having tended to advance quotations for both pre-
sent and forward delivery.
The Parana, from the
specie, has arrive Brazils, with £45,000 in
d at Lisbon, en route to England.
The interest coupons on the Grand Russian Rail-
road shares will be paid on and after the 14th inst.
Notice has been given that the sum of £3,535
has been employed in the redemption of 9 Buenos
Ayres 6 per Cents. of the value of
.£3,700 ; and
£5,486 10s, has been applied to the extinction of
69 Three per Cent. Bonds of the total value of
£15,100.
The Dover Castle
court , with £184,570, and the Agin-
, with £126,300, have been announced from
Australia.
The demand for discount accommodation is
ex-
ceedingly quiet, considering the large aggregate
amount that will be required for the monthly liqui-
dation of commercial accounts on Friday next. The
fact is, however, that bills now maturing are much
below the average because trade throughout the
county, although better sustained than might have
been expected, is still comparatively quiet. Owing
to the unusual abundance of money the effect of the
Commercial requirements on the present occasion is
a
only Perceptible in a slight increase of inquiry, and
little more firmness in the rates, and this move-
i
ment, tnimportant
as t is, will, no doubt, prove to
thebe next fortni w dght increased relief will be afforded
bthye s payment of the July dividends, and as
pecie movement continues very favourable, it is
expected that the
the rates will continue for the present,
pease,t the rates
range now experienced.
