MONEY MARKET

AND

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The American advices represent money as being
still scarce, this, however, will probably not lead to
any serious pressure as the demand for corn and
cotton will be large and the imports of Californian
gold are continuous.
It is stated by a party writing at New York,
that—

"By the arrival of the steam-ship Northern Light,
we learn that upwards of $2,000,000 specie left San
Francisco on the 16th ult. for this port, part of which
has arrived, but the greater portion is expected in the
mail steamer, which is now fully due.
" The shipments of specie from California during the
month of July were something less than those of the
previous month, as will be seen by the following table :
June 1, 1853...52,284,050 July 1, 1853...52,004,549
June 16, 1853... 2,223,870 July 16, 1853... 2,128,052

Total .........$4,506,920 Total 54,132,601
Being $374,319 less in July than was shipped in the
month of June preceding."

There are two or three ships in from Australia
and New York, but the dates are old.

The English stock market is very firm, but with-
out much doing. The information by telegraph
from Vienna that the Porte has accepted the pro-
positions of the allied powers, has a good elect,
although the contingencies that yet exist are not
overlooked. The large purchases of money stock
have intimidated the Bears, as a considerable
amount of consuls will have to be delivered.
The prices have been 98g. g. The New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. are 1911, /, and the Three
per Cents. 99i to I. Bank Stock is firm at 2281.
Exchequer Bills are pax to 2s. prem.
The Foreign Stocks have been very active, and
there are considerable purchases in Peruvian at
further advanced rates, 85i and 86 having been
paid for the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., and 60 and
61 for the Deferred. The Grenada Deferred Bonds
have realised to Equador Stock is worth 5/.
Brazilian Five per Cents. have been quoted 10112-
to 1024. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 45 to/.
Mexican Stock is worth 27 to d. Sardinian Bonds
have been at 96 to 97. Spanish New Deferred
Stock is worth 231 and the Committee's Certifi-
cate is at 61.
In English railways there has been more anima-
tion, and the quotations have advanced. Great
Northern, Great Western, Midland and York, and
North Midland have been in request. French
shares are quieter.
The Joint-Stock Bank shares have been very
quiet and rather feeble.
The Land Companies' shares have been higher.
The Gold Mines have been nominally steady.
The railway meetings announced are the fol-
lowing :---
