CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

In the foreign exchanges this afternoon the rates
ulpo❑ An:sterdam nd Hamburg were a shade
higher; on other places they were about the same
as by last post.

About 150,000 in bar gold was sent into the Bank
to-day, and 50,000 sovereigns were taken cut for
transmission to Portugal.
The West India Royal Mail steamer La Plata
to-morrow will take out only £3,740 in specie.
The last accounts from America have created a
strong
impression among many of the cotton ope-
rators at Liverpool that the Federal Government
may soon be forced to accept peace, and sales have
been effected to-day at a reduction of 2d. per lb.
from the quotations of Friday last. In London,
however, a majority of the merchants and others
most connected with New York still entertain a
belief that the country will have to pass through
many more months of misery before there will be
any approach to actual negotiations for a termina-
tion of the struggle.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The supply of commercial bills on offer to-day
Indicates a slight diminution in the general demand
for accommodation. Continued firmness, however,
is exhibited in the quotations, because the bankers
and brokers anticipate more demand during the
next two or three weeks, and consequently endea-
vour to obtain the highest possible terms for the
use of their resources.

Gold is now about two-tenths per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris or Hamburg.

Notice has been given that the paid up Scrip
Certificates of the Egyptian Loan, second issue,
Can be exchanged for Bonds until the 23d inst.

ferred Bonds has been announced for payment.

The steamer, La Plata, which left to day with
the mails for the West Indies, conveyed £3,740 in
specie.

A meeting of the Commercial Gas Company has
been called for the 10th proximo for the declaration
of a dividend.

The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the sth inst.
amounted to £9,523, against £8,980 last year.
Since the last return was compiled the bullion
movements at the Bank of England have comprised
the influx of £71,000, and the withdrawal of
£65,000 in gold.

Two O'CLOCK.

The dealings in the English Stock Market are
still too restricted to create activity or any mate-
rial variation in prices. Within the last day or
two, however, a little heaviness has been apparent,
owing, it appears, to some supplies of money stock
which have been forced upon the dealers; but the
effect, after all, is of very little importance, Consols
being 93 for money, and 931, for the Bth pros.,
being a little flatter than they were at the close of
business yesterday afternoon. The New Threes
and the Reduced are flat at 91-1 92 ; India 5 per
Cent. Loan remains at 109/ ; ditto 5 per Cent. En-
laced Paper has advanced to 1051-; Exchequer
Bills, June, are 20s. to 235. prem.; and ditto
March, 18s. prem.
In the Foreign Market the dealings have con-
tinued of a moderate character, but prices are
firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents,, 1854, are 85 86 ;
ditto, 1858,
661 67 ; ditto New Loan Scrip is flat
at 2 dis .; Mexican have improved to 32/ ; and
Spanish Passive to 20/ ; and Certificates are already

466 ; ditto New Scrip is firm at 2-1- •7-, prem. ;
Ibrussian ditto, 11 prem ; Spanish 540; and Vene-
zuelan are maintained at 274; Turkish Consolides
371 38.
The operations in the Railway Share Market
have continued moderately active, and prices have,
in most instances, shown an upward tendency.
Caledonians, Great Easterns, Great Northern A
Stock, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Westerns,
and South-Westerns have improved 55.; Midlands
108. ; and London and Blackwall 15s. South
Easterns, however, have declined ss.

'was little change of importance. South Austrian
' and Lombardo-Venetian remained flat at 22 ; Great
Western of Canada steady at 12/ ; Bombay and
aroda 103; Eastern Bengal 1042; Great Indian
Peninsula 103/.
