MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The demand for money is steadily increasing, but
the rates continue to range nearly per cent. below
the minimum of the Bank of England.
A small quantity of gold, viz., £5,000, was with-
drawn from the Bank of England yesterday for
exportation.

the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.

ing a balance broiight forward from the preceding
half year, amounted to £13,554 14s. 4d., out of
which the usual dividend at the rate of 7 per cent.
per annum for the half year, free of income-tax,
will be recommended.
The suspension has taken place of Mr. T. Ruslat
Browne, merchant and insurance agent, with
liabilities estimated at about £60,000, and the assets
are expected to prove favourable. The failure is
attributed to the non•receipt of remittances from
Australia.

The sum of £20,455 was paid yesterday into the
Indian Treasury on account of the Punjaub Rail-
-way ; £15,785 to the credit of the Scinde Railway ;
and £21,500 in respect of the Indus Steam Flotilla.
