MONEY MARKET.

CITY NE N% S-YES I ERDAY.

The letters to applicants for the Portugu,•se loan
to whom no allotment can be made are expected to
be sent out this evening., 'Pie allotment letters are
to be posted on Saturday evening.

The new Peruvian loan is expected to be intro-
duced to-morrow or on Friday. It will c of
Four and a Halt per Cent. Bones for £5 500,000 at
93, with dividend from the Ist inst , and payable
in instalments extending to the 24th of December
next, on which 4i per cent. discount will be allowed.
This loan is intended to absorb all the Peruvian
stocks at present existing in the London market,
amounting to about £2,700,000, which are to be re-
ceived in part payment at various rates, according
to their denomination. The who!e of the guano
hitherto hypothecated will thus be set free, and is
to be appropriated to the new loan, together with
the proceeds cf the Be,gian contract, the estimated
produce being about /500,000 per annum beyond
the sums required for interest and sinking fund.
The sinking fund is to be accumulative, and at the
rat., of 8 per cent. per annum, commencing on the
Ist of January, and is therefore calculated to redeem
the whole debt in 10 years.
The Liverpool cotton market was very strong
to-day, and prices firm. Sales about 10,000 bales.
At Paris, this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
tel, gram, the Three per C .nt. Rentes opened at
68f. 67c., being 1.16 to k per cent. better than yes-
terday. I

United States Five per Cents., which only a short
time back were at 80, have fallen to 63 to 65, being
the lowest point ever totter ed.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of £8,287.

It is expected that the prospectus of the new
Venezuelan Loan will appear on Friday morning,
if not to-morrow atteTnoon. The amount is
£1,000,000, in a Six per Cent. Stock, at the price
of 63, and the operation is Ira ed so as to be very
advantageous to the holders of existing bonds, as
well as attractive to those who may feel inclined to
participate in the proposed addition to the debt of
the Republic.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CI rY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The discount market to day again appears a little
firmer, owing to a slight increase in the demand
resulting from the usual payments at the esd of the
month. The change hithero, however, has been
trifling, and has scarcely attracted notice in com-
mercial circles, because accommodation •is still oh-
ttinable 1 per cent. under the minimum of the Bank
of England, and the mercantile classes have not an
extensive supply of bills to negotiate.
It is expected that the new Venezuelan Loan
will be brcught forward to-day, and that the Peru-
vian Will follow to-morrow. The opinion seems to
prevail that the investing public will subscribe
largely to both undertakings, as the terms have
been arranged in an attractive form.
It has been notified that the sinking fund of the
Chilian 4Q ~er Cent. Loan of 1858 has been increased
froth at which it was originally fixed, to 1 per
cent, and the Bands have slightly improved in
consequence.

The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round fi;ures b.s under :
