CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is rather more demand for discount accom-
modation to-day, which may be partly attributed
to the revenue collections and other disbursements
usual at this advanced period of the quarter. The
number of applications is still too moderate to create
great activity, but a perceptible increase is reported,
and the banks and discount houses are now asking
rather enhanced quotations. The general charge
for first-class three months bills is 2 per cent.,
but exceptional transactions are reported
per cent., and the consequence is a larger num-
ber of applications at the Bank of England, as
many parties give that establishment the preference
when the rates there and elsewhere are equal.
The steamer Lloyds, Captain Smith, has arrived
at Halifax from Charleston, having run the blockade
at Charleston with a valuable general cargo from
London,

The accounts from the manufacturing districts for
the past week were in most instances satisfactory.
At Manchester cloths and yarns were at one time
rather cheaper, owing to the inactive state of the
Cotton Market at Liverpool ; prices, however,
afterwards partially recovered. The woollen trade
of Leeds continued without material change, while
rat Bradford, Huddersfield, and Rochdale there have
been some rather large speculations in winter
goods. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and
Nottingham continued steady; the high rates de-
manded for cotton, however, in some measure re-
stricted production. In the hardware districts, viz.,
at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton,
there has been little change of importance.
The English Stock Market has remained with-
out the slightest change of importance, and busi-
ness has continued very inactive. Consols are 932 e
for money, and 934 for the account. There is
no new feature of interest either as regards the ten-
dency of values or the course of business. The
New Threes remain at 92 1; the Reduced are flat
at 92; India 5 per Cents. Loan improved to 1091;
Exchequer Bills, June, 17s. prem.; ditto March,
20s. prem. ; Bank Stock is 2411 and 242 L
A fair amount of business has been negotiated
in the Foreign 'Market, and prices in several in -
stances have shown more firmness. Mexican
Stock has risen to 3l ; and Spanish Certificates
to 98 8; Italian 5 per Cents. are firm at 701; and
ditto Railway Loan 711 ; Portuguese are 461 ; ditto
New Loan Scrip, 21 prem. ; Russian Scrip is 1
prem. ; but Venezuelan 3 per Cents. have receded
to 27. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are steady at
85 86 ; ditto, 1858, 671 ; ditto New Loan 651 661 ;
and the Consolides 361 I.

The operations the Railway Share Market have
been moderately active,but chiefly connected with the
half monthly settlement. Prices, however, have
generally exhibited increased firmness. Great
Fasterns, Great Westerns, Lancashire and York-
shire, and North-Westerns improved 55., and
iCale-
donians,o Brightons, and South-Westerns b.
North British, however, have declined about Xl.
Midlands, South-Easterns, and Manchester, Shef-
field and Lincoln remained at about previous rates.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance. South Austrian and Lom-
bardo-Venetian are dealt in at 22k; Great Luxem-
berg at 14! ; Bombay and Baroda have improved
to 1021, 103; East Indian realise 1051; Great In-
dian Peninsula, 103 Z ; and Punjaub, 101,--T 102.
Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
remain at about previous quotations. English,

to 18;,-; London and South African have declined
to 191; Oriental Bank to 631; and Ottoman Bank
are steady at 27Z H ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam
