CITY, Two o'CLocK.

There is no farther change to report in the
general condition of the Money Market, and the
minimum rate of the Bank of England remains a
2 per cent., the directors at their meeting to
day having found it unnecessary to alter their regu
lations. The current terms in the open market
range as low as 2 per cent.

There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday.
The Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London,
and China have announced a dividend of 5 percent
for the past half year.

At the forthcoming meeting cf the Ottoman Bank
a distribution at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum
will be recommended,

cotton market yesterday, and 10,000 bales were sold,
7,000 of which were for exportation and on specu-
lation. Prices were firmly maintained.

There has been very little variation in the Eng-
lish Stock Market to-day, but the tendency of
prices has indicated a slight degree of heaviness.
