1110NEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Money Market remains in a rather active
state, owing to the requirements of the commercial
public and the revenue collections. The rates,
however, are without any material alteration, first
class bills being negotiated at 4 per cent. The in-
quiries at the Bank of England are on an aug-
mented scale, and the next retum will probably
show an increase in flag other securities.

A small amount of gold, viz., £3,000, was sent
into the Bank of England yesterday.
The half-yearly interest on the Province of
Wellington (New Zealand). 8 per cent. Debentures
will be paid on and after the 2d July next.
Increased activity was apparent in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were un-
changed. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. The
Railway Share Market experienced an unfavour-
able turn, and business was dull.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have re-
solved to expunge the shares of the Buenos Ayres
and San Fernando Railway Company from the
official lists. The resolution, however, has yet to
be confirmed.

Owing to some large sales of money stock, the
market for public securities presents a very heavy
appearance—Consols being 931 ex dividend.
The depression of the Paris Bourse also produces an
unfavourable feeling and prevents buoyancy. The
New 3 per Cents. are heavy at 93-1- ; the Reduced
at 921 93k; Long Annuities remains at 161 ; India
.53 per Cents. Enfaced Paper is 1021, and the De-
bentures are 961 ; Exchequer Bills, 2s. to 6s. prem.
Rather more activity has prevailed in the
Foreign Stock Market, and prices tend upwards.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 77 to 771 ; ditto New, 601
to 1 ; and the 4 per Cents. are 102, ; Dutch 4 per
Cents. are firmer at 1011 1; Spanish Deferred at

Cents. are steady at 64; +; Mexican at 24 ; Brazi-

The early period of the season at which the Whit-
sun holidays occurred last year, compared wits the
present, has caused the latest returns of several of
the principal lines to show a rather large falling
off. The decrease on the Great Western amounts
to £2,183, the South Western to £3,531, the
Brighton to £2,933, the South Eastern to £2,423,
the Lancashire and Yorkshire to £10,020, and the
Great Western of Canada to £235. On the North
Western there is an increase of £1,602, on the
Midland of £617, on the Great Northern of
£1,968, the North Eastern of £238, the Edinburgh
and Glasgow of £342, and the Glasgow and South
Western of £989.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
again been extremely limited; a slight improvement,
however, has taken place in one or two of the prin-
cipal lines. Great Westerns, Midlands, and South
Easterns have improved -ss. ; North Western, 10s.,
and Caledonian, 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remained
very inactive, and prices were unaltered. East
Indian 102 to 1021 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 302 ;
Great Western of Canada, 111.
Joint Stock Bank Shares were at about former
values. Bank of Australasia improved ss. ; Union
of Australia, ss. ; London and County declined 55.;
and Union of London, as. ; Australian Agricultural
declined to 294, and Red Sea Telegraph have im-
proved to 17k. •

Tag HIGH PRICE OF BUTCHERS' MEAT AND
OTHER PROVISIONS.—111 consequence of the high price of
butchers' meat, flour, and other provisions, a great in-
crease, it is stated, will take place in till amount of the
parochial rates in the ensuing quarter in the various me-
tropolitan parishes. This is about the time that boards of
guardians of unions and parishes receive tenders for con-
tracts for the supply of provisions for their respective work-
houses, which are taken for three months. The contracts
are much higher than they have been for some time, the
effect of which is that the weekly charges are higher than
at the previous contract. In the parish of Clerkenwell it
is stated that the cost will be about £lOO more per week.
In large unions itorill be still higher.
