MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK,

There is a steady demand for money in the
general market to-day, at previous rates, and the
inquiries at the Bank of England are rather
limited.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex-
hibited a slight decline in the rates on Vienna and
Trieste.

At the Bank of England yesterday there were
no bullion operations of importance.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday the
transactions were exceedingly limited, and prices
were depressed. The sales only amounted to 3,000
bales. The Railway Share Market was rather
active, and quotations exhibited a decided improve-
ment.

The committee of the Stock Exchange have at
length published their report upon the Pullinger
frauds, and great care seems to have been taken in
effecting a thorough investigation into his connec-
tion with that establishment. The evidence they
have been enabled to collect shows that the moneys
actually paid by him to brokers, including Messrs.
Bell and Ball, on account of speculative transac-
tions from January, 1855—when the defalcations
first commenced—to April of the present year,
amounted to £53,285. Of the:immense balance,
exceeding £200,000, the committee can only state
that Pullinger passed credits amounting to £57,000
to an " outsider," named Nathan, who lately died
at Paris in affluent circumstances, and that the
delinquent was also largely engaged in racing
transactions. It follows, therefore, that the direc-
tors of the Union Bank of London were not justi-
fied in announcing to the public in their report to
the shareholders that the £263,000 embezzled had
been lost on the Stock Exchange,
At the meeting of the Peninsula and Oriental
Steam Company, held this day, the usual dividend
of 31 per cent, was declared.
A moderate amount of business has been trans-
acted to-day in the market for Public Securities,
and the liquidation of the account has caused some
activity. At first the quotations appeared heavy,
but the telegrams from the Paris Bourse report an
advance in the Rentes, and the effect upon the
Funds has been rather favourable. Consols for
money have been 941 and 95 ; for the July account
they are 951 1. The New Three per Cents. have
receded to 9311 ; the Reduced to 931 N. The New

tone, however, is now exhibited.
