CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Owing to the plentiful supply of money and the
reduced terms upon which accommodation can be
obtained in the open market, the directors of the
Bank of England, it is thought, may deem it expe-
dient to modify their discount regulations, and
although the subject attracts but little attention, it
-would not create the slightest surprise if, at their
meeting to-morrow afternoon, they should adjust
the minimum quotation at 2, instead of 22 per cent.
as at present. Even this concession, however,
would probably fail to bring them any great acces-
sion of business, because it would merely stimulate
competition "out of doors" owing to the excessive
nupplies of unemployed money, and the moderate
demand for commercial and other purposes.
There is a steady influx of gold at the Bank of
England, an additional supply of £66,000 having
been sent there yesterday. About £260,000 is
known to be coming forward from Australia, which,
together with remittances from the West Indies,
America, &c., will ensure a large importation of
specie during the next few weeks, but it is not
improbable that the reports will shortly exhibit at
least a temporary augmentation, through the trans-
mission of the proceeds of the Turkish and Egyptian
loans.

Later advices from New York, viz., to the 9th
inst., report no change of importance in the money
Market there, the rates for " call loans," as they
are termed, being 6 to 7 per cent., and for first
class bills also 6 to 7, with occasional transactions
in bankers' short acceptances at 5 per cent.

The bar silver by the Arato, from the West
Indies, has been disposed of at ss. lid. per ounce.
The foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, in
most instances exhibited a slight advance.
Gold. is now about 4-loths per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris, and 2-10ths percent. higher
here than in Hamburg.
It has been notified that tenders for bills of
exchange on India will be received at the Bank of
England on the first Wednesday in each month.
Notice has been given that 900 bonds of the
second Russian 41 per Cent. Loan, amounting to
£90,000, have been drawn for redemption.
Only a small amount of business was transacted
i❑ the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and
Prices were firmly supported. The sales were about
.5,000 bales.
