MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Bank of England Return, completed to the
15th inst., is of a favourable character, the princi-
pal feature, however, is the large diminution in the
Private Deposits, and the other securities, caused
by the repayment of advances made by the esta-
blishment on Government Securities. The bullion
has been slightly augmented, while there is a
diminution in the reserve of notes, and the Go-
vernment Securities. The various items and the
Changes they present are shown in the annexed
table.

previous rates, while the operations on rice, fruit,
and spices were only of a limited description.

portance to report in values. For tallow there has
been a very limited demand for both present and
forward delivery. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted
48s 9d to 49s per cent.

ratively small. The New Threes and the Reduced

241; India ditto is flat at 224 ; but the 5 per Cent.

been quite so numerous. Turkish 6 per Cents.

Eastern (Berwick), have advanced ss. ; Great Nor-
therns, Midlands, and South Easterns, 108. ; and
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 15s.
