CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Although occasional withdrawals of gold are
still reported at the Bank of England, less an-
xiety now prevails with regard to the immediate
prospects of the money market. Trade throughout the
country continues quiet, and the inquiry for accom-
modation is proportionably moderate. The available
supplies of money are, consequently, very ex-
tensive, and capitalists •are unable to employ
their resources in discount operations at the cur-
rent quotations. Competition is, therefore, ex-
cited among the bankers and brokers, •who,
in order to secure the bulk of the best
descriptions of bills brought forward for
negotiation, have reduced their terms
.1 to 1 per
cent. below the minimum of 4 per cent. This
concession has led to a slight diminution in the de-
mand at the Bank of England, and the directors,
it is expected, will find it unnecessary, when they
assemble to-morrow, to modify their present re-
gulations.
Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yester-
day continued very active, and prices exhibited a
further slight improvement. The sales amounted
to 23,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market the
transactions were limited, and quotations were
rather firmer.
About £15,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
Bank of England yesterday.
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday exhibited no
change of importance.
To-day a call of £2 per share is due on the
Border Union Railway Shaves.
A call of 20 per cent. has been made by the dir
rectors of the Grand Russian Railroad Company,
payable on or before the 27th proximo.
The English Stock Market has been rather heavy
to-day, but very little fluctuation has occurred,
and the transactions as usual have been very
limited. Consols are quoted 921 to 93 for money
and the Bth of November, and 93 to 931 for
December. The New Threes and the Reduced are
steady, at 911 s ; Bank Stock is firm, at 232 ;
India Loan remains at 108 ; ditto 5 per Cent.
Enfaced Paper, at 95:- ; and the Debentures are
961. Exchequer Bills have receded to 2s. and
la. die.
The transactions in the Foreign Market have
been exceedingly limited, but prices show increased
firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701 to 701;
ditto New, 551 to 58 ; Peruvian 44 per Cents.
are 941; Mexican are steady, at 224; and Portu-
guese, at 441; Spanish have improved to 481 y.
The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 14 to 2
prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 1 prem. ; and
the Universal, j 1 prem. _ _

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
very ins.ctive, and prices have, in most instances,
shown n downward tendency. Great Western,
North Western, North Eastern (Berwick), and
South Eastern have declined 55.; and Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 10s. ; London,iChatham, and Dover
have improved £l.
The Foreign lines have remained at almost nomi-
nal values. Bahia and San Francisco realise 81-,
and 'Recife and San Francisco, 9a -Z.
In the Colonial Market a further decline has
taken place in Grand Trunk of Canada, which are
dealt in at 224 231, ; Great Western of Canada are
flat at 13 to 134 ; and East Indian steady at 99;
100,
Joint-Stook Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
been in very limited request, and prices have shown
no material alteration. London and *Westminster
are firm at 62, and Ottoman Bank at 171 ; Electric
'Telegraph are quoted 98 ; and Royal Mail Steam,
471 ex dividend.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
There was a very scanty supply of English wheat in to. set',
day's market. The few good and fine samples on offer were etc
disposed of at quite Monday's prices ; but inferior kinds eattc,
were very dull, at irregular currencies.
We were again well supplied with foreign wheat, never- ftlt
theless the inquiry for both red and white parcels was in a 2s,
healthy state, at full prices. Floating cargoes commanded ,
previous rates.
Barley was in good request, and fins samples were held et
for more money—say, fully ls. per quarter. st
' The malt trade was firm, but no advance took place in
the quotations.
Oats were again 6d, dearer for good sound corn, and the at
market for them was firm. st
