MONEY MARKET.

CITY NE W S-YESTERDAY.

In the Stock Exchange the supply of money has
increased, and the rate for loans on Government
Securities from day to day has declined to 1 to 2
per cent. _ _

The silver market is extremely flat, and the quo-
tation nominal, at ss. ld. per ounce.

It appears. 'by the American advices to-day that
the price of gold at New York has risen to 41 per
cent. prern., and the exchange on London to 1151.
A decided_ advance took place to-day in many
kinds (Jf American securities. The demand is en-
tirely in answer to the higher prices received from
New York. English holders are selling, while the
American speculators continue to buy largely, thus
)rouloting the rise in the exchange, and the conse-
qua nt efflux of gold from New York to England.
1: he weather being fine, business in the wheat
market to-day was not so brisk as on Monday, but
there was no change in price.
The traffic returns in course of publication this
week will mostly show an increase, as they include
the receipts of Whitsun week this year as against
an ordinary week last year. The London and
North Western return shows an increase of £10,034,
whicl is considered good; the :Lancashire and
Yo•eksbire an increase of £3,000, which is not re-
garded favourably; the Great Northern, an increase
cnf £253; and the Great Western, an increase of
£1,620.

The last price from Paris this evening was 68f.
35c., again showing no alteration.
The shipments of specie by the Ceylon will be
£410,251, of which £399,586 is silver and £10,665
is gold ; to Alexandria £l,OOO in gold, to Ceylon
£3,000 in gold, to India £6,665 in gold and £27,020
in silver,, and for China and the Straits £372,566 in
silver,

Tk.e corn market this morning was not quite so
trwn as on Monday.

About £15,000 in gold was taken to the Bank
to-day.

The activity in the cotton market caused by the
accounts from America and India and China still
continues, and a further advance has taken place to-
day, the quotations being now id. per lb. above
these current at the close of last last week.
The accounts from the Paris Bourse mentions
-that the public continue to invest steadily in Rentes
and also in Italian Five per Cents., and that the
cause of the prevailing flatness of prices consists in
the uncertainties regarding the expenditure for the
'war in Mexico and the anxiety which always begins
to be entertained about this period with regard to
the harvest,

CITY NEWS-THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Ceylon., leaving to-morrow with the Indian
and China mails, will take out £410,250 in specie.
The Liverpool cotton market yesterday continued
to 12resent a very excited appearance, and 15,000
tales were disposed of at a further slight advance.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
Stu this day, are in round figures ha under :

Two O'CLOCK.

Very little interest has been manifested to-day
in the weekly meeting of the Bank of England
directors. A week ago their proceedings were
watched with some anxiety, because it was pre-
sumed that a change in the discount regulations
was imminent on account of the large withdrawals
of sovereigns for transmission to Turkey. The out-
flow, however, suddenly ceased, and since then the
large movement has been in an opposite direction, a
having
proportion of the late Australian arrivals
been disposed of to th
last balance-sheet exhibited a [decrease of £453,623
in the stock of bullion, being a smaller diminution
than most persons interested in the subject had
anticipated, and it is not improbable that the return
completed this afternoon for publication to-morrow
will show a reactionary tendency, because as much
as £220,000 has been sent in to the establishment,
while the contraction of the circulation, usual at
this period of the year, will no doubt have econo-
mised the supplies of coin in the hands of the
public. To-day the market presents a very easy
appearance, and instances are recorded of bills of a
superior class being negotiated at 21 per cent., but
