MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Owing to the absence of fresh supplies, the
specie movement presents very little feature of im-
portance. Considerable consignments may be
shortly expected, however, the following vessels
having left Victoria for this country, viz., the
Maidstone, with £195,000; Blue Jacket, £125,512
Malta, 191,040; Dover Castle, £228,520; Orwell,
1151,508 ; and the Red Jacket, with £152,516.

There is still a limited inquiry for money, and
the current sales are fully -It to Li: per cent. below
the Bank of England minimum. The continuance
of the prevailing ease will soon justify the expec-
tation of some change in that quotation.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday.
The half-yearly Court of Proprietors took place
at the Bank of England to-day, and a divi-
dend of 5 per cent. for the six months ending the
30th of August was declared. The profits during
that period were £710,143, and the " rest" on that
day amounted to £3,736,139.

Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices of all descrip-
tions tended upwards. The sales amounted to
20,000 bales.

A meeting has been convened of the Chartered
Bank of India, Australia, and China, for the
purpose of declaring an ad interiat dividend for
the half-year ended the 30th of June.
The Shannon has been announced, from -the
West Indies, with £110,600 in specie.
Continued sales of stock are effected by the
public as well as the speculative dealers, but the
latter operate only to a small extent, and the Con-
sol Market presents a quiet as wall as a heavy appear-
ance. Foreign politics now engage most attention,
the state of existing relations between France
and Switzerland, and the complications which
surround the Italian question being considered
unfavourable. Consols for money have been 93
to 938, and for account, 931 ; they are now 931 1,
and 931 ; respectively. A special transfer is re-
corded in the New Three per Cents. at 938 ;

103 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has ad-
vanced to 961 ; ditto 51 per Cent. is steady at
102 ; and Exchequer Bills at ls. to 4s. prem.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market is mode-
rately active, but prices in most instances show a
slight decline. Turkish 6 per Cents. aro 73i to 74;

are 1,1 to 2k pm. ; the Thames and Mersey, 4 d pm. ;
and the Universal, a pm.
The liquidation of the half-monthly account has
been the chief business attended to to-day in the
Railway Share Market, and prices have shown in-
creased firmness, caused, in a great measure, by the
very favourable traffic returns. Eastern Counties,
North-Western, South-Western, and North-Eastern
(Berwick), have advanced 55.; Lancashire and York-
shire, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, North
Eastern, York, and West Midland, 10s. ; and Mid-
lands, £1; Great Western have reached to the extent
of about 10s.; and South Eastern have declined ss.

nominal quotations. Lombardo-Venetian are very
depressed, being 11 to 11 discount.
In the Colonial Market, Grand Trunk of Canada
and Great Indian Peninsula have improved ss. ;
Great Western of Canada declined £1; and East
Indian 10s.
