CITY NEWS---THIS DAY

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Bank of England return, completed to the
11th June, as was generally anticipated, exhibits
some rather unfavourable changes. The bullion
has been further diminished, and there is a decrease
in the reserve of notes. The increased demand for
money is shor,rn in an• important addition to the
Other Securities, and there is also a large augmen-
tation in cu... Public Deposits consequent upon the
revenue collections. The other items of the balance-
sheet, and the changes they present, are shown in

The directors of the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada have issued their half-yearly report, from
which it appears that the total receipts amounted
to £419,469, and the expenses to £323,761 ls. 6d.,
.showing the improved result of £95.707 183. 6(.1. as
the net profit upon the six months' operations.
The working expenses have been already reduced
to 77 per cent. of the receipts as against 841 per
cent. for the corresponding period of the previous
yeTt-. The balance of £95,707 183. 6d. in favour
—of revenue has been applied in and towards the
. payment of the Statutory Bond interest of the At-
. dantic and St. Lawrence Railway Company, Pay-
able at Portland, and similar interest payable on
mortgages on lands belonging to the company, and
in reduction of other liabilities immediately recover-
able ur,der legal process.
A moderate demand for money is reported to-day,
,and 3 per cent, is the minimum quotation in the
-general market, as well as at the Bank of England.
Rather more firmness is manifested in consequence
of the directors not having made any change in
their regulations; but the prospect of continuous
Ivithd-ftwals of gold even still encourage the opinion
that at. advance may have to be made at an early
date, and full terms are therefore required for ac
-commodation even on the best descriptions of mer-
cantile papet.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of £1,237 en account of the Ecuador dividend
fund.

The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce
re-opened on Wednesday after the holidays; busi-
ness, however, has been inactive, and for several of
the principal staples lower prices have been current,
viz., for sugar, coffee, rice, and spices. Tea, how-
ever, has been in good demand at enhanced rates ;
saltpetre has continued dull ; but a better inquiry
has existed for tallow for both present and forward
(delivery, the present quotations being—for P.Y.C.
un the spot, 465. 9d.: and last three months, 48s.
9d. to 495. per cwt.

The subjoined remarks upon the progress of
business in American securities are from the " Cir-
cular" of Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co :—" The
market for American securities, at the opening of
the week, was very much depressed, but has subse-
quently rallied, and there is a renewed demand for
most descriptions of stocks, but especially for
United States Five per Cent. Bonds, at improved
quotations.
