RONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS

CITY, Two o'CLocr.
The proposed exchange of £2,000,000 of gold for
silver by the Banks of England and France has
already produced a much better feeling in com-
mercial channels, where immediate relief is:expected
in consequence. As soon as the arrangement was
announced it was at once perceived that the autho-
rities had adopted the safest expedient under the
Circumstances, because it would have the effect of
allaying the excitement which prevails in Paris
and arrest the efflux of gold from the Bank of Eng-
land. The affair has naturally attracted consider-
able attention in all circles, and much satisfaction
is expressed at the cordiality with which the two
establishments have arranged measures for their
Inutile accommodation. Increased confidence
having been promoted in the Money Market, rather
an easier tone is perceptible, although the rates
remain steady, and an average business is still
reported.
The small quantity of bar silver by the last West
India steamer (La Plata) has been disposed of at
as. lid. per oz. stanlard.
To-day the final payment of 25 per cent. is due
On the New East Indian Railway Debentures.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England yesterday.
Rather more business was recorded in the Liver-
pool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices exhibited
downward tendency. The sales were estimated
Id between 4,000 and 5,000 bales.
The Bank of England Directors, as anticipated,
have made no alterations in their discount regula-
tions to-day.
A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors
of Messrs. S. and E. Williams, sugar agents, &c.,
When the liabilities were stated at £42,281, and
assets at £33,620. A composition of 15g. in the
Pound was proposed, but it was determined, after
some discussion, that a committee of investigation
hhould be appointed.
An increased buoyancy was exhibited in the
Market :for Public Securities this morning, conse-
quent upon continued purchases which were en-
couraged by the financial arrangements concluded
between the Bank of England and France. Consols,
therefore, advanced to 938 I for money, and 93t
for the account ; they are now, however, a shade
flatter, being 931 a and 93a I respectively. A few
Wes in realisation of profits probably produced this
alteration. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced
have advanced to 911 2 ; Bank Stock is heavy, at
232 and 233 ; India ditto remains at 2221 and 2241;
ditto New Loan is firmer, at 103?,; 1 ; ditto 4 per
Rupee Paper has receded to 961 ; ditto 5 per Cent.
' B'6 ; and the 51 per Cent., 1001, showing no
Change.
In the Foreign Market a moderate business has
Turkish
transacted, and prices are well supported. '
kurkish 6 per Cents. are 73 to 731 for the Old,
44d 58 to 581 for the New; the 4 per Cents. have
improved to 1011 ; Mexican, to 21i 22 ; Sardinian,
to 87i ; Spanish, to 01 ; and ditto Deferred, to
; and Dutch 4 per Cents. are steady at 100.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
r" this day, are in round figures as under :-
1860. 1859.
