-MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLoCK.

The Bank of England return, completed to the
20th inst., shows no very remarkable changes.
The chief feature, however, is the decrease of
nearly half a million in the other securities, not-
withstanding the increased demand for money in
the general market. The reserve of notes has
hen largely augmented, while the bullion also
shows a further accumulation.

The public deposits, owing to the active collec-
tion of the revenue usual at this period of the year,
have been added to by nearly a quarter of a mil-
lion sterling, while the private deposits show about
a corresponding decrease. The active circulation
has been slightly diminished. In the other items
of the balance-sheet, there is no change of impor-
tance; the various alterations are shown in the sub-
joined table

fair amount of business was transacted; at previous
rates. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales.
The Stock Exchange is closed by order of the
committee, and the attendance in other departments
of business is very small, the City, therefore, has
the appearance of a partial holiday.

been about £258,357, and the exports £398,940,
exclusive of the following shipments direct from
London to the Continent during the week ending
