CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

The Vienna exchange exhibits a further move-
ment in favour of Austria, the exchange on London
having declined yesterday from 126.25 to 125.70.
About £B,OOO in gold was bought by the Bank
to-clay. About £25,000 in bars and sovereigns have
been sent, to Portugal .
The cotton market was very inactive to-day, with
sales to the amount of only 500 bales.
The bar silver brought by the West Inlia packet
has been disposed of at 61.1 d. This establishes a
decline of Id. from the price realised for the amount
133 the previous steamer, in consequence of a dimi-
nution in the demand for Bombay. The Mexican
dollars are not vet sold.
The current New York advices contain a full
statement of the exportation of grain and flour
from the United States to Europe during the corn -
mercial year from Sept. 1, 1861, to Sept. 1, 1862.
From this it appears that the total quantity of
wheat and flour sent to the United Kingdom in the
twelve months was equal to 5,000,500 qrs., or about
2 per cent. in excess of the previously unparalleied
total of the year ending Sept. 1, 1861. This amount
is n
early three times as high as the highest attained
daring. any of the previous 14 years, the total even
in the memorable season of 1846 and 1847 having
been only 2,604,000 qrs. The average of the 16
commercial years ending the Ist inst. was 1,676,500
qrs. The shipments to the Continent this year
have amounted to 1,367,782 qrs., against 925,000
qrs. in 1861.. The Continental accounts extend over
Only eight years, and the average for that space has
been 470,000 qrs. per annum. Of Indian corn the
shipments to the United Kingdom for the present
Year have been 1,586,000 qrs., which is also nigher
than on any former occasion with the exception of
the famine year of 1816-47, when Ireland was
chiefly supplied with that grain, and the total was
2,145,000 qrs. The average of Indian corn shipped
to the United Kingdom during 16 years has been
784,000 qrs. The quantities of this grain sent to
the Continent have been unimportant.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The demand for money is not very active, but a
steady business is nevertheless reported, and the
dealers and discount houses show a disposition to
ask rather higher terms for the business they ne-
gotiate. Superior descriptions of commercial bills,
however, are still taken freely at 1 o per cent.
Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris, and about 2-10ths per cent.
higher here than in Hamburg.
Notice hai been given that tenders for bills of
exchange on India for the sum of 38,00,000 rupees
'will be received until the Ist proximo.
The first annual meeting of the East Del Rey
Mining Company will take place on the 2d prox.

A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. is announced
by the Protector Endowment Loan and Annuity
Company.

Two O'CLOCK.

The half-yearly meeting of the London General
Omnibus Company took place to-day. The report
of the directors states that the result of the opera-
tions for the past six months is more satisfactory
than, that of any corresponding half-year. The
receiptE exceed those of 1861 by £16,787 16s. ld.,
and the expenses were £7,280 13s. 4d. less
than in the same period of last year. The net
profit of the six months is given at £24,289 Os. 6d.
This increase of the profit is partly attributable to
the traffic occasioned by the International Exhibi-
tion ; but, independently of this, it is stated that
the returns for the months previous to the opening
of the Exhibition show a large increase in com-
parison with the corresponding dates. The direc-
tors also anticipate to place before the shareholders
at their next financial meeting a report which will
Show that the company's affairs are highly sound
and satisfactory.

Although very little business has been transacted
to-day in the 31arket for the English Funds, a
'few speculative sales have been effected, which
have caused slight heaviness. Consols are 93
for money, and 931 ',I, for the account.
The dealings in the Foreign Market have been
moderately active. Egyptian Loan is flat, at 9I ;

1854, 851 86; ditto, 1858, 681; ditto New Loan
Scrip, 11 1 die., and the CoLsolides 371 I.

have been very restricted, and the few dealings
entered into have been at a slight decline. North
Western and South Western have receded 55., and
North British 10s. ; Great Westerns, Midlands, and
South Easterns continue at about previous quota-
tions.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings, in some
instances, exhibit more firmness. South Austrian

cisco, 201 ; Great Western of Canada have improved
to 121 ; and Great Indian Peninsula to 104/.
