NOSEY MARKET AND CITY IVEIVS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The inquiry for c]iqcount accommodation has been
letY much curtailed during the last few days, in

consequence of an expectation that the minimum 1,35
fate of discount at the Bank of England will be st,
Immediately reduced to 5, if not to 5 per cent.
Accommodation is already obtainable at the latter
ct
quotation in the general market, but a movement s.
Ou the part of the anthorities of only 1 per cent.
would no doubt have this effect of forcing the rates
"t of doors to a lower point than that already
attained. The only drawback at the present
Illehlent is the position of the Exchange at New
york, which many regard as an unfavourable feature, s.
alnee it may operate adversely upon the course of 8
monetary affairs by causing an influx of specie from s
this country to the United States.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
Pi,!hibited a further slight decline in the rate on
,Hamburg ; the quotations on Vienna and Trieste, s
however, were rather higher.
The Directors of the Royal Pcrtuguese Railway s•
Company have made a final call of 300 f. per share, ss
Payable from the Ist to the 15th of January next. 9
Rather less activity prevailed in the Liverpool s
Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were firmly
Ihitiutained. The sales were about 3,000 bales.

111Vears that the total declared value of the exports
from the United Kingdom was £112,956,527,
against £108,755,184 in the like period of 1859,
"bowing an increase of £4,201,343. The increase
18 most perceptible in cotton manufactures, cotton
/aril, earthenware, linen yarn, iron, seeds, British
spirits, sheep and lambs' wool,and woollen worsted
manufactures
1 ; but there is a falling off in beer and
e) coals and culm, haberdashtiry and millinery,
hardwares and cutlery, silk manufactures, thrown
t
British spirits, and refined sugar.

the like period were larger as respects live animals,
frie7s, coffee, corn, flour, raw cotton, indigo,
tanit, provisions, rice, saltpetre, pepper, rum,
°W, tea, tobacco, wine, and sheep and lambs'
'3(4. There was a diminution, how ever, in flax,
hemp, potatoes, raw silk, spices, brandy, and
unrefined su.ar.

a °lint of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of
the United Kingdom for the ten months, for the

atemore were employed than to the corresponding
to Of 1859 for the entries inwards, and 518,966
118 for the clearances outwards.
l'he Market for Public Securities opened
suietly, with a steady but inactive appearance.

their

frnPr"ement of per cent., Consols having risen
21 931 ato 93a 1 for the acccount ; the price for
b'eY is 931 3, The market presents rather a
