CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Small quantities of gold continue to be with-
drawn from the Bank of England for exportation,
£12,000 having been taken for that purpose yes-
terday. The dollars brought by the last Mexican
steamer have been. disposed of at 5s 2d per oz., be-
ing an advance of Id. compared with the price
realised for the previous supply.
The steamer which leaves to-day for the Brazils
will take out £6,813 in gold, and £9,000 in silver.
An active demand for money still prevails in the
general discount market, while at the Bank of Eng-
land the applications are numerous in consequence
of the high terms required for accommodation
elsewhere. It is still imagined in some quarters
that the minimum will ultimately reach 5 per cent ,
and those who are in want of money obtain it at
once, thereby imparting additional activity to the
market. At the Stock Exchange the demand has
been brisk, owing to the liquidation of the account
in the English market.
The directors of the English and Australian Cop-
per Company have issued a very favourable report,
which states that a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share
may be safely declared ; but it is supposed that the
shareholders, in consideration [of the satisfactory
position of the undertaking, will advocate a larger
distribution.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
moderate degree of activity prevailed, and 7,000
bales were sold. The Railway Share Market closed
with rather more animation, and prices exhibited
a slight improvement.
The English Stock market still presents a dull
and heavy appearance. Sales preponderate owing
to the unfavorable position of monetary affairs, the
postponement of the Budget, and the political ad-
vices from the Continent. Business, however, is
very quiet. Consols are 941 to 941 for money,
and 941 to f for the account, being per cent.
higher than they were earlier in the day. The
New Threes are fiat at 942 1, and the Reduced at
941 I. Long Annuities (1886) are firm at 171 1.
India New Loan is heavy at 1021 ; ditto 5 per.
Cent. Enfaced Paper at 98 ; and the Debentures
have improved to 971 1, and Exchequer Bills to
255. and 265. prem.
Only a small amount of business is recorded in
Foreign Securities, and prices tend downwards.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 781 to 781 ; ditto New,
651 to 66, and the 4 per Cents. have receded to
102, and Russian 3 per Cents, to 641 65 ; ditto 4;
per Cents. are steady, at 97f ; Spanish Deferred is
firm, at 331; but ditto Passive is heavy, at 111.
The Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 21 pm.;
the Universal ditto, 1 to f prem.; and the Canadian
Loan is 21 prem.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are, in round figures, as under :-

exchange on London, which a week ago stood at 350., has
experienced a movement decidedly adverse to Russia, being
now quoted only 35kd., in consequence of the temporary
Withdrawal of the artificial support hitherto given to it by
the government.

14'5portion of good qualities, but a clearance was not effected

A telegram from Amsterdam yesterday afternoon
announces the rejection of the groat Dutch Railway Bill by
the First Chamber. What effect this will have upon the
P°eition of the Ministry is not stated. Dutch stock have
bot been affected in price, the political bearing of the event
e,ng perhaps neutralised by the circumstance that a sum
Shout £300,000 per annum, which it was proposed to use
a subvention in aid of the railway works, will remain, as
reretofore, applicable to the sinking fund of the national
bt• Austrian stock rose k per cent., but is still about 6
Per cent. lower than on the Ist January.
REPRESENTATION OF GREAT YARMOUTH.
~mours have obtained publicity of a compromise in the re-
re4eutation of this borough, so as to avoid the necessity of
tr'eubling the select committee to be chosen on the 21st inst.
,‘° determine the petition presented against the return of the
V2e.ser.t Conservative sitting members, Sir Henry Straeoy
and Sir Edmund Lacen. The terms of compromise are re-
torted to be as follows :—Sir E. Lacon to give way to Mr.
Watkin, of Manchester, one of the defeated Liberal
:!Il_sdidates and Sir H. Stracey to continue in undisturbed
esion of tho second seat till a dissolution, when he is to
,_is'e in favour of Sir Edmund, and try his fortune at Nor-
iiu The tactics of Yarmouth politicians are generally,
2weyrer, of so determined and obstinate a character that it
Cc
ou_ota very probable that such arrangements as these could
rried through successfully.
