MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

The committee of the Stock Exchange on Mon-
day next may probably appoint the following
Thursday and Friday a special settling day in the
scrip of the new Peruvian loan.
The particulars are published of Buenos Ayres
Three per Cent Bonds, representing £26,000,
which have been cancelled by the investment of a
sum of £10,026. It is worthy of remark that the
application of the money to this purpose is entirely
a voluntary act on the part of the Government.
There was no gold transactions at the Bank to-
day. A considerable amount of Russian has ar-
rived, and is expected to remain here.
The mail steamer Shannon has arrived from the
West Indies with £213,000 in silver, and £49,0001
in gold.
The New York telegrams yesterday afternoon
report a recovery in tho exchange of 127, and in
the premium on gold to 151 per cent. The City of
Manchester was about to leave for England with
£40,000 in specie.
The Liverpool Cotton Market is still excited
and rising. The sales to-day have reached 24,090
bales.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Tb.c Bank of England return completed to the
27th August exhibits one or two rather important
changes. Owing to the non-arrivals of gold from
either America or Australia, there is a very limited
addition to the stock of bullion. The reserve of
notes, however, has been largely augmented, and
both the public and private balances show important
additions. Subjoined is a table of the various
items and the alterations they present :
Active Circulation .• £21,255,825

The inquiry for money has slightly diminished,
and the rates are rather easier.

_During the last few days there has been rather
more animation exhibited in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets. Tea at public sale fully
sustained previous rates. Sugars were in demand
at enhanced prices, while coffee, cocoa, and rice has
been dealt in to some extent at full rates. The de-
mand for saltpetre has improved, but tallow con-
tinued dull for both present and forward delivery,
P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 485,, and last 3
months, 495. 9d. to 50s. per cwt.

Two O'CLOCK.

The official returns relating to trade and naviga-
tion for the seven months ended July 31 have just
been published. From these it appears that the
total declared value of the exports from the United
Kingdom was £69,446,480 against £70,237,685 in
the like period of 1861, being a decrease of
£791,205. The falling off is most perceptible in
cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, machinery, rail-
road iron, British sheeting, and cheeps' and lambs'
wool.

The importations of the principal articles were
larger as regards flax, hemp, silk manufactures,
spices, tallow, coffee, corn, sugar, tea, wine, and
sheeps' and lambs' wool ; but smaller in raw cotton,
raw silk, cocoa, flour, currants, timber, and tobacco.
The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in the
amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade
of the United Kingdom of 581,951 tons for the
entries inwards ; but an increase of 63,241 tons for
the clearances outwards.

In the coasting trade 11,449 tens less were em-
ployed than in the corresponding period of 1861 for
the entries inwards, and 105,287 tons for the
clearances outwards.

Very little business has been transacted in the
English Stock Market this morning, the dealers
and others being almost solely occupied with the
settlement in Foreign Stooks and 11 stilwtly Share;
a further improvement of per cent., however, has
been established, Consols being 931 =2. The New
Threes and the Reduced are firm at 93,1 ; Ex-
chequer Bills steady at 17s. to 21s. prem.; Bank
Stock is flat at 240; India 6 per Cent. Loan at
1t,81,1

Tilere have been very few dealings in Foreign
Securities, and prices have undergone no important
change. Turkish 6 per Cents,, 1854, are 841 852 ;
ditto, 1858, 703 71; ditto £lOO Bonds, 74 ; the
New Scrip is 651 663 ; and the Internal Debt is
321 33. Italian have improved to 671; Moorish
are 931 ; Russian Scrip, -1 dis.; bat Venezuelan are
firmer at 26.

The operations in the Railway Share Market
have been very limited, although, in some instances,
prices have shown a slight recovery from their late
depression. Great Westerns are dealt in at 654
ex div.; South Easterns at 83: ex div.; Midlands
at 127 and 1271 ex div.; North Westerns at 93;
941 ex div.; Lancashire and Yorkshire at 106 and
106: ex div. ; Caledonians remained firm at 1081
108 t.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain dull, at
about previous rates. South Austrian and Lom-
bardo-Venetian realise 21: ; Recife and San Fran-
cisco, 181 ex div.; East Indian are firm at 105 to
105; ; Great Southern of India, at 102 Z ; and Bom-
bay and Baroda, at 101 i 102,
Joint-stock Bank End Miscellaneous Shares re-
main without any material change in value.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The visitors
yesterday numbered 53,923, comprising 46,443 payments;
shilling-day. tickets, 912 ; •and season tickets, 6,568. The
Prince de Joinvillo and party, and the Duchess of Wel-
lington were among thecompany.
GREAT MEMORIES;—..,WiIIiam Lyon, an itinerant
actor, known in Edinburgh about 100 years ago, one even-
ing over a bottle with some of his theatrical brethren,
wagered a crown bowl of Punch that the following day at
rehearsal he would repeat the whole of a " Daily Adver-
tiser." The players, who considered this as mere bravado,'
paid little attention to it; but as Lyon was positive, one
of them accepted the wager. '1 he next, morning
at rehearsal,
he reminded Lyon of his bet, imagining as he was drunk
the night before he must certainly have forgotton it, and
rallied him on the ridiculons boasting of his memory. Lyon
produced the paper, desired the other to look at it, and
decide the wager. Notwithstanding the want of connec-
tion in the paragraphs, the variety of advertisements, and
the general chaos which forms the composition of a news-
paper, he repeated it throughout without the least hesita-
tion or mistake.—Dublin University Ilagazine.
THE TUSCARORI.—The Federal war steamer
Tuscorara left Plymouth under steam at half-past 8 yester-
day morning for the westward. She is destined, it is said,
for a port on the other aide of the Channel, and may ulti-
mately go to Cadiz.
