CITY NE w S-YE STE RD AY.

"Th© City of Washington, from New York, has
brought £87,000.

The amount of specie that will be taken out by
the steamer Ceylon, with the India and China mails
on the 20th, is £172,601, to be distributed as fol-
-1"3:—£49,000 in gold for Alexandria, £30,000 in
gold fo•r the Mauritius, £3,600 in gold for C( ylon,
13)211 in gold and £46,580 in silver for Madras,
and £40,310 for China and the Straits.
Telegraphic advices from Constantinople mention
that the dividend on the Consolides of the issue of
1860, which became due on the 13th inst., was
Punctually paid in Turkish gold.

In the market for jute to-day there was a heavy
:reaction from the recent rise, owing to statements
that the preparation lately brought forward, by
which it was hoped to render this material a partial
substitute for cotton, hes been unfavourably re-
ported upon from the brittleness, which it was ori-
ginally apprehended would prcve a serious defect.
The decline in price makes a total reduction of
£9 per ton from the late highest poitit.
Tenders were delivered the day before yesterday
for the Government contract of 1,500 tons of hemp.
It is understood that the whole quantity offered was
only equal to the Government requirements. The
smallness of the amount offered is consequent on
the present excited and uncertain state of the mar-
ket. It is mentioned that in Dundee hemp is being
largely used for the manufacture of strong sail-
cloth, and there are also reports that a thread has
been made from it which will be applicable as a
substitute for cotton for many of the coarser tex-
tures. Replies to the tenders have not yet been re-
ceived from the Government, but they are expected
to-morrow.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY .

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The inquiries for discount accommodation are
rather active, but the mercantile classes ire enabled
to supply their requirements at the quotations re-
cently current. Although 2 per cent is nominally
the charge for three months' bills, business is still
negotiable at 1/ per cent. At the Stock Exchange
there is less demand for advances, which are now
obtainable at If, to 2 per cent.
The Bank of England return, completed to the
17th inst., exhibits few changes of importance. The
bullion, however, has been diminished to a slight
extent, while a large addition has been made to the
Government balances. The other securities also
exhibit a slight addition. The various items and
the changes they present are shown in the sub-
joined table

fair business negociated, at slightly enhanced
prices ; while the tallow market has shown symp-
toms of buoyancy, prices for both present and for-
