MONEY MARKET.

CITY NE W S-YESTERDAY.

The committee of the Stock Exchange on Mon-
d y 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 £49,000
in gold.

The New York telegrams yesterday afternoon
report a recovery in the 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 24,000
bales.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.
CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The 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 :

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 488., and last 3
mont'ns, 498. 9d. to 50s. per cwt.

Two O'CLOCK.
The official returns relating to trade and naviga-
lion 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 sleeps' 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
she eps' 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.
