MONEY MARKET AND CITY _NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Bank of England return completed to the
29th August is of a satisfactory character. The
bullion has been augmented by nearly a quarter of
a million sterling in consequence of the arrivals
from the United States and Australia having been
more than sufficient to supply the continental de-
mand. The reserve of notes has also been largely
added to, while the increase in the other securities
is only to a lithited extent. The public and private
deposits both show a considerable augmentatiDn.
In the other items of the balance sheet there are no
alterations of importance ; they will be seen in the
