MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

Continued activity and firmness are still the
principal features of the Money Market. A large
amount of business is negotiated daily both at the
Bank of England and in other channels, but up to
the present moment the rates, although fully
maintained, have not exhibited any symptoms of
an advance. At the Stock Exchange the inquiry
has been stimulated by the recent sales of stock,
which has diminished the available supply of
money in this department of business.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England yesterday.
The interest has been advertised for payment on
the Canadian Consolidated 5 per Cent. Stock, and
the State of Alabama 5 per Cent. Sterling Bonds;
Tuesday, the 3d proximo, has been appointed a
special settling day in the shares of the Thames and
Mersey Marine Insurance Company, and business
is to be recorded in the official list.

Company, for the election of direct ors, and to declare
a dividend ; and also of the Peel River Land and
