CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return, completed to the
3.%t October, exhibits some rather unfavourable
changes. There is an important diminution in the
stock of bullion, and the reserve of notes has been
trenched upon to a large extent. The other secu-
rities, owing to the increased demand for money,
have been augmented, while the public and private
balances have been materially reduced. The
carious items and the changes they present aro
ahown in the subjoined table :

Business in the general discount market continues
active, the supply of bills brought forward. each day
being considerable. The demand is now stimu-
lated by the necessary preparations for to-morrow,
the 4th of the month, and in the course of a few
days a quieter state of affairslis likely to be expe-
rienced, because the requirements of the mercantile
classes are moderate, and the speeie movement still
shows a surplus of imports. The rates remain with-
out any change of importance, 2 per cent being the
quotation for first-class bills, and a fraction less is
accepted for paper approaching maturity.
During the last few days there has not been
much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
ducts Markets. Tea, at public sales, remained
'without change, while sugars, in some instances,
lave been a little cheaper. Coffee has continued
in good demand, at full rates, and fruit and spices
are in more request at about former values. The
!Tallow Market has exhibited more activity, and
prices have tended upwards for both present and
for ward delivery.

Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool cotton market was quiet to-day,
and Surats a little easier. The sales were 2,000
bales.

improved about es.; and Great Northern A Stock,
10s.; Caledonians, North Westerns, and North
British declined 55., and Great Northerns, 10s,

It is stated that the wine harvest on the Rhine
and in the surrounding districts promises now to be excel-
lent both in quality and quantity. This circumstance
tends considerably to increase the confidence inspired
throughout Germany by the abundant character of the
Wheat harvest.
