MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY.
The directors of the Alliance Bank of London
and Liverpool have this day made a call of £5 per
share, ryable on the 61 h of October next.
It has been announced that the interest on the
Exchequer-bills which become payable next month
will be reduced from its present rate of 3 per cent.
to 21 per cent. The measure is a natural result of
the low terms now current in the discount market,
and is desirable not only for the benefit of the re-
venue, but also to prevent these securities from at-
taining a premium that would render them less eli-
gible for ordinary banking purposes. Looking at
the number of competing securities in the form of
railway debentures, iszc., it is not expected that any
reduction below 21 per cent. will be witnessed,
whatever may yet be the increase in the abundance

of money.
About £213,000 in gold, chiefly Russian, was
bought by the Bank to-day.
The following are the rates of discount in the
principal continental cities, viz.: Paris, Hamburg,
and Berlin, 3 per cent. ; Vienna and St. Petersburg,
5 ; Frankfort and Brussels, 21; Turin, 41 ; and
Amsterdam, 3 per cent.

The demand for money to-day in Lombard-street
was only moderate. The rates for good bills ranged
from Ito 2 per cent. At the Bank of England
1
the applications were below the average.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 68.15, and closed at the same quotation
both for money and the account, being -} per cent.
better than yesterday.

At Vienna yesterday a fresh fall of to per
cent. took place in the Austrian funds, and the ex-
change rose from 129 to 130.75.

There is a moderate inquiry for money, and the
rates continue easy.
A further decided improvement has taken place
in the aspect of the English Stock Market, and a
rise of K per cent. has been established, Consols
being 931 4 for money and the 4th proximo. This
movement has been occasioned by extensive pur-
