MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The genersA discount market shows very little
alteration from day to day, owing to the abundant
supplie, and the limited requirements of the com-
mercial community.

Rumours are still circulated with regard to a new
Russian loan, but no formai announcement has yet
been made. It is fully believed that it will be in-
troduced at a very early period.
The :deices from New York state that the im-
portation of general merchandise at the latest date
was equal to the average of former seasons, and the
remunerative prices at which most of the articles
-were selling prove they are in steady demand. As
they would have to be paid in gold, the exportation
of specie, it was thought, would be maintained,
but as the total in the City banks, on the 29th
-ultimo, was £6,770,600 and was gradually increas-
ing the movement was not expected to cre to an
unfavourable influence. The Money Market con-
tinued quiet and easy.

The amount of gold taken into the Bank of Eng-
land yesterday was 194,000.

No change of importance was apparent in the
Continental Exchanges yesterday afternoon.
Gold is now 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris ; and 11.10ths per cent. higher here
than in Hamburg.
A meeting of the proprietors of the Chartered
Bank of India, Australia, and China, will take place
on the 30th inst. for the declaration of a dividend,
&c.

A call of £2 per share, amounting to £95,000,
became due to-day on the Ottoman Railway shares,
and to-morrow, the 17th inst., a payment of £2 per
share, or in the aggregate £200,000, will have to
be made on the San Paulo Railway.
Holders of the Imperial Moorish Loan Scrip will
be enabled to get it exchanged for Bonds on and
after the 21st instant.

Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were slightly
higher. The sales were about 12,000 bales.
There was a meeting to-day of the Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company, when the report recom-
mending the usual dividend of £2 per share was
adopted.
