MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

A. notification has appeared, signed by the Portu-
guese financial agent, and by Messrs. Knowles and
Poster, contractors for the recent successful Portu-
guese Loan, giving the numbers of 9,856 3 per
cent. bonds, representing £985,600, which have
been cancelled, in conformity with the royal decree
dated the 21st June last, authorising the new loan.
A conference of many of the large and influential
creditors of M. Zachariah Pearson, of Hull, took
place yesterday at the offices of Messrs. Coleman,
Turquand, Youngs, and Co., when the state of his
affairs was considered, and confidence expressed as
to the ultimate realisation of his estate. A resolu-
tion was come to that upon payment of 40 per cent.
in money on or before the Ist of October to the un-
secured creditors they would hold over the re-
mainder of their claims, the creditors holding secu-
rity consenting also to hold over their claims upon
any balance that may ultimately be found due to
them, relying upon payment of such balances out
of the proceeds of the estate as they may be realised.
This arrangement is to be carried out by a com-
mittee of five gentlemen who were appointed for
that purpose.

Captain Treloar has transmitted a telegram to
the secretary of the Don Pedro North Del Rey
Gold Mining Company, stating that he and his
company were all comfortably on board the Magda-
lena, on their way to Rio, with every hope and
faith in the complete success of their mission.

CITY NEWS---THIS DA-Y.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return, completed to the
10th September, shows a slight diminution in the
stock of bullion, but there is an increase in the re-
serve of notes. The other securities have been
largely diminished. The payments on revenue ac-
count have caused a considerable addition to the
public balances, but there is a decrease to about a
similar extent on the private deposits. The various
items and the changes they present are shown in
the sabjoined table :

During the last few days there has been rather
more activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Tea has fully maintained previous prices.
Sugar, coffee, and cocoa has slightly advanced, while
jute and hemp has been largely dealt in at enhanced
prices; tallow, however, has continued dull for both
present and forward delivery, P.Y.C., on the spot,
being quoted 48s. ; last three months, 48s. 9d; and
spring delivery, 495. 6d. per cwt.
The traffic returns of the South Austrian and
Lombardo Venetian Railway for the week ending
the 2d inst., amounted to £53,207, being an increase
of £B7l compared with the corresponding period of
last year. On the Central of Italy branch from
Plaisance to Bologne the receipts were £3,778
against £2,963 in 1861.

Two o'CLooK.
The Paris Three per Cent. Rentes this morning
opened at 69f. 75e., being per cent. better than
yesterday.

Rither more activity prevails in discount circles,
the demand during the last day or two having in-
creased. Although the supply of bills on offer is
comparatively small, it has induced the joint stock
and private establishments to ask 1-Z per cent. for
securities, which they would have recently nego-
tiated at 11 per cent. The movement, however, is
of very little importance, and no material diminu-
tion of the easiness which has prevailed for some
time past is immediately anticipated.
The English Stock Market opened steadily at
the improved quotations current the previous af-
ternoon, but on the appearance of a few sellers a
decline of t per cent. ensued, and Consuls, which
had been 93a 1 for transfer and 931 s for the Bth
proximo, receded to 931 -2. and 93a 1 respectively,
at which prices they still remain. Business con-
tinues exceedingly inactive, and the dealers do not
anticipate any immediate improvement. The New
Threes are 92k; the Reduced, 921 ; Exchequer
Bills, Jane, are fiat at 18s. to 225. prem. ; ditto
March, 235. prem. ; Bank Stock is 212 to 243;
India ditto, 231; and the 5 per Cent. Loan remains
at 1098 Z.

Business in the Foreign Market has been mode-
rately active, but prices in several instances have
shown a downward movement. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1854, remain at 85 86 ; ditto, 1858, 671 I;
the New Loan Scrip is 11 d dis. ; and the Con-
solides have risen to 361 ; Buenos Ayres 6 per
Cents. are 911; Egyptian 7 per Cents., 90; ditto
paid up Scrip of the 2d issue, 91 ; Mexican are flat
at 311 ; Peruvian New Loan Scrip, 11 1 dis. ; Portu-
guese ditto, 21 prem.. and Russian ditto,
prem. ; Spanish Certificates are 91, and Venezuelan
have receded to 271.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been moderately active. Prices, however, have
remained without material variation. Great Nor-
thern A Stock has improved 10s., and London and
Brighton, £1; South Easterns have receded ss. ;
Midlands, Caledonians, South Westerns, North
Westerns, and one or two others, have remained at
previous prices.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continued dull,
and prices were without change of importance.
South Austrian and .Lombardo-Venetian realise
22 to 22k ; Recife and San Francisco, 18 ; Great
Western of Canada, 121 ; East Indian, 1052 4 ;
Great Indian Peninsula, 1021 1032.
Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
were dull. London Chartered of Australia de-
clined to 261 ; Bank of London brought 852 ; Cry-
stal Palace Stock 34i to 35; and Peninsular and
Oriental Steam receded to 73. The shares of the
Cambrian Gold Mining Company remain steady
at -a a prem.
