MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS, YESTERDAY.

The commercial advices from New York this
week state that the elections continued to absorb
attention, and that the successes of the Democrats
or Constitutionalists in Ohio, Indians, and Penn•
Sylvania had so far exceeded expectations as to
create a strong belief that they might be able to
carry the State of New York. This had produced
a rather better feeling in business, since in that
event the Government, it was considered, would be
forced to change, or, at all events, to modify, their
Policy, and a convention of all the States might be
brought about with a view to some possible arrange-
ments for peace. It was seen, however, that, as
the Abolition party, who profess themselves more
sanguine and unyielding than ever, possess the
power to displace and appoint generals, and also to
hold control of the national Exchequer, the struggle
against them must in any case be hard. With re-
spect to the general public, it is said there bas cer-
tainly been a great change of feeling in the course
of the past month, the idea having made much pro-
gress that the North may be ruined before the South
can be subjugated. The fluctuation in the premium
on gold within four days had been between 39 and
271, and the quotation on the departure of the
packet was 32. The next steamers to arrive are
the Hansa and City of New York, from New York,
and the Hibernian, all of which were to leave on
the 25th of October.

The Highflyer has arrived from China with
1,179,6861b5. of tea, and 136 bales of silk.
The mails from Calcutta, China, and Australia
passed Jubal on the 2d inst.

The failure is announced of Mr. Sohn Walker,
a respectable manufacturer, of Bradford, with lia-
bilities estimated at about £17,000. This firm must
not be confounded with others of the same name.

CITY NEWS---THIS DA-Y.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is a steady demand for discount accommo-
dation to-day, but the market is very quiet, be-
cause the current requirements of the mercantile
community are fully provided for; the rates also
continue easy, 21 per cent. being the general charge
for first-class bills of three months' date. The pay-
ments of the 4th are proceeding very favourably,
and no embarrassments of importance have been
reported.
There is an increase of £1,610 in the traffic re-
ceipts of the Brighton Railway, and of £1,911 on
the South Eastern for the past week.
An extraordinary meeting of the India Freehold
Land, Colonisation, Trust, and Agency Company
has been called for the 11th inst., to consider the
course to be pursued in consequence of Sir Charles
Wood's recent minute respecting waste lands, and
the advisability of the company's operations being
confined strictly to trust and agency business.
During the last few days the operations in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been
limited. Tea has remained dull, pending the public
sales which commence to-day. Sugars generally
have been a shade cheaper, but good and fine de-
scriptions of coffee have fully sustained previous
rates. In rice, fruit, spices, and saltpetre the deal-
ings have been of the most limited description at
almost previous quotations. The tallow market
continued dull, and prices have receded for both
present and forward delivery.

Two o'Ctocx.

A moderate business has been transacted to-day
in the market for the English Funds, but the at-
tention of the operators is now chiefly directed to
the settlement of the monthly account, which on
the present occasion is rather heavy. A few sales
took place this morning, and Consols receded to
931 3- for money and the 6th instant, but
purchases have since restored them to
their previous level, viz., to 93t 1. For
the 4th proximo the latest quotation is 93t.
The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are a
little flatter, being 911 ; India 5 per Cents. re-
main at 1091 z ; the 5 per Cents. Enfaced at 1041 ;
and the Debentures, 1864, are heavy at 100/ t.
Exchequer Bills are nominally steady, and Bank
Stock continues firm.

A fair amount of business has been negotiated in
the Foreign Market, and prices have been firmly
Maintained. Greek Bonds have again been actively
dealt in at prices ranging from 153 16 ; and the
Coupons 7* t. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are
firm at 828 833 ; ditto, 1858, 693- a ; ditto New
Loan, 68_,1_ 1; and the Consolides, 371 38 ; Egyptian
are 88* 89 ; New Grenada Bonds 27* 28 ; Portu-
guese Scrip is 21 prem.; Russian New Loan 921
93 ex dividend ; Spanish Passive are 2231;
Italian
721; Q ; and Venezuelan Scrip 2,1 prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
dull ; prices, however, in one or two instances,
have shown more firmness. Caledonian, Great
Northern, Great Western, South Western, and
South Eastern have improved Se.; while Brighton
declined 10s., and Edinburgh and Glasgow £l_
In the Foreign Market there has been little
change of importance. Bahia and San Francisco
realise 19: ; Sambre and Meuse, 91 ; and South
Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, 221 221.
The Colonial lines have been a shade firmer.
Cape Town and Dock improved to 1061, and East
Indian to 1061. Punjaubs have declined to 103.
Joint Stock Bank shares continue steady.
Alliance of London and Liverpool realise 203- ;
London and Brazilian have improved to 161 173;
London and County to 3935 and Bank of Egypt
to 253--.
In the Miscellaneous Market there has been no
change of importance. Australian Agricultural
realise 23i, and Peninsula and a iental Steam
74.

A MAIL COACH ACCIDENT.—A serious accident
happened on Thursday to the Oban mail coach. After
leaving Portsonachan, between 4 and 5 a.m., for Inverary,
and while coming down a hill between Rockhill and Cladich,
the reins broke and the horses ran off. The coach capsized,
4114 a Mr, M'Callum, farmer, Auchnacarn, Kilchronan,
Loch
--aw, was pitched out and struck his head against a
one. Re survived a few hours, but never spoke. Three
other persons were more or less hurt, but not seriously. As
far as could be learned, there was no blame attached to the
driver.
