CITY NEWS-THIS DAY.

CITY, TWEL'YE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is rather quieter, the in-
quiries at the Bank of England as well as in other
quarters being rather below the recent daily ave-
rage. The rates, however, continue to exhibit
firmness; the continuous flow of gold into the
Baia of England still encouraging the opinion
that an advance may shortly take place.
The principal alterations exhibited in the Bank
of England return for the week ending Wednesday
last,
are an important decline in the reserve of notes
and stock of bullion, and a reduction in the other
securities. Subjoined are the particulars :

During the last few days the general progress
of business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets has been restricted. Tea has remained at
steady
quotations, while sugars, coffees, and cocoa
have each been at rather easier rates. There has
been a fair ir.quiry for rice and saltpetre at full
prices. Tallow continued dull for both present and
forward delivery, P.Y.O on the spot being quoted
46a. 6d., and first three months 475. per cwt.
The half-yearly report of the East India Irriga-
tion and Canal Company, just issued, gives a satis-
factory account of the past six months' operations.
The sum received on capital account during the
time over which the report extends amounts to
£103,240, and the expenditure in England and
India to £13,111, leaving a balance of £90,129 in
hand.

The dividend warrants on the Chilian 4} per
Cent. Bonds will be paid on and after the Ist
proximo.

The commercial advices just received from Bom-
bay are of a favourable character. The piece goods
markets was rather active, the importers having
become
ed, and
desirous of realising, as the season had com-
tnce considerable transactions took place at
fulln prices. The produce markets were quiet, but
cotton tended upwards. There was a good demand
for money at steady rates, although no pressure was
anticipated. In exchange on England extensive
a adlibacti°na were concluded at higher quotations,
n freights were reported firm.

I`:tl?taili Shaw that the warehouses on a wharf in the occu-
;tilted, and
ful°ll of 'Mr, Ray, a coal merchant, at Dockhead, were in
Cra.es• The material stored on the wharf of course easily
it was with the greatest difficulty that the
total;ises 011 either side of the conflagration were saved from
bedestruction. The loss of property will in this instance
~,er37 great, judging from the immense mounds of coal
eh were burning when our report left.
