MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

There is no alteration to report in the general
condition of the money market, but the liquidation
of the bills due on the 4th of the month has
been followed by a quieter tone, the supply of com-
mercial bills on offer being very moderate.
Therewere no withdrawals of gold from the Bank
of England yesterday.
Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. cheaper here
than in Paris, but about 2-10ths per cent. dearer
in London than in Hamburg.

The Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon,
exhibited a slight advance in the rate on Paris.
The Oneida has arrived from the Brazils with
.£53,600 in specie.

A call of £1 10s. per share, amounting together
to £135,000, becomes due to-morrow on the Bahia
and San Francisco Railway.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
ness was inactive. Prices, however, were unaltered.
The sales were about 3,000 bales.

The Lightning has arrived from Victoria with
£96,160 in gold. She has made a protracted voy-
age, namely, of 102 days. Some of the other
vessels which are known to be coming forward may
be expected at an early date.
There is very little business in the market for
Public Securities beyond the arrangement connected
'with the settlement of the account. Speculation
in the early part of last month was rather active,
but as several minor fluctuations have taken place
the outstanding differences to be settled are rather
extensive, and the necessary preparations occupy
the attention of the dealers and brokers. Rather
an unfavourable effect has been produced upon quo
tations this morning by some sales, partly foreign
account, which led to a decline of I per cent.,
Consols having receded to 93-1- I, for transfer, and
931 7-, for the April account. At the latest moment,
however, renewed firmness is apparent, the Funds
having recovered to 93-1 a, and to 93! respectively.
The New Threes and the Reduced are steady, at
919 92k; Bank Stock is flat, at 242; India 5 per
Cents. at 106/ 107; Exchequer Bills remain at
19s. to 225. prem.
Business in the Foreign Market has been quiet,
and prices generally show less firmness, Turkish
6 .per Cents, are 841 85 ; ditto, 1858, 711,- 4 ;
eau have receded to 34/ ft ; Spanish Passive, to
19-1 j ; ditto Certificates, to 61 7; but New Gra•
nada 2 per Cents. have improved to 27, and Equador
to 18k. - •

The Ottoman Loan of 1860 is 65i; and the New
itaiian, 11 1 dis.

The operations in the Railway Share Market
to-day were moderately active, and a slight advance
was established in prices by a preponderance of
purchases. Caledonians, Eastern Counties, Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, North Western, South Western,
and South Eastern improved 55.; Great Northern,
Great Western, Brighton, and Midlands, 10s.;
North Eastern (Berwick), however, have declined
about ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
Without any change of importance. Great Luxem-
burg realise 111 111 ; Bahia and San Francisco,
16; Sambre and Meuse, 81 ; Grand Trunk of Ca-
nada 27 ; Great Western of Canada 131 ; East In-
(Ilan 1021 ; and Great Indian Peninsula 1011.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con-
tinue dull, but at steady prices. Bank of Australia
realise 67 ; London and County, 381 39; Ottoman
13tInk, 211 i ; Union of London, 33 to 33-1 ; Elec-
tric Telegraph, 99 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam,
us; and Royal Mail Steam, 55 to 55/.
