MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return completed to the
6th inst., is of a rather satisfactory character. The
changes, however, in the various items are not of a
very important character. The bullion has been
augmented to the extent of about a quarter of a
million, but this is rather less than was generally
expecte?. In- the reserve of notes there is a
falling off, but the reduction is limited, and
the other securities, owing to the restricted
inquiry for discount accommodation, have been fur
ther diminished. In the public deposits there is
a falling off of about half a million caused by the
usual quarterly disbursements, and the private
deposits show an augmentation of over a quarter of
a million. The active circulation has been in-
creased to a moderate extent, as also- the Govern-
ment securities. In the other items of the balance
sheet there is little change requiring special notice.
They will be seen in the subjoined table :

Gold to the amount of £40,000 was taken into
the Bank of England yesterday.
The payment of the 15 per cent, instalment of
the Turkish Loan yesterday, and of the 20 per cent.
deposit required with the application for allot-
ments of the second issue of £2,000,000, caused
very little movement in the Money Market. The
inquiry is still very moderate, and the terms range
as low a s 24 per cent.
Further large consignments of gold from Aus-
tralia were reported by the intelligence received
via Suez. Among the vessels en route are the
Agincourt with £283,120, and the Lincolnshire ,
with £422,440. These remittances, together with

the American and Russian supplies, may be ex

petted to increase the stock of bullion at the na
tional establishment.
The Liverpool Cotton Market closed steadily, and
previous rates were fully maintained. The sales
were estimated at 7,000 bales. In Railway Shares
a moderate business was transacted, at former quo-
tations.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about £105,910, and the exports £62,872, ex-
-elusive of the following shipments, direct from
London to the Continent, during the week ending
Thursday last :—Gold coin, Boulogne, 700 ounces ;
silver coin, Boulogne, 6,400 ounces ; ditto, Hambro',
672 ounces ; ditto, Rotterdam, 2,000 ounces ; silver
bars, Rotterdam, 14,000 ounces.
The English Stock Market, though very quiet,
has appeared rather firmer to-day, owing probably
to the large amounts of gold coming forward from
Australia, and the general , prospects of monetary
affairs. Consols have been 981-1-, for money and
the 12th inst., and 981 ?-4 for the November account.
They have since been 981 and 98.4 4 respectively.
The New 21 per Cents. were 821 ; East India
Debentures, 99a 1; and the June Exchequer Bills,
258. to 28s. prem.. India Stock for account was
224.

In the Foreign Stock Market business is rather
active, and quotations are firm. Turkish 6 per
Cents. are 971 ; Mexican 3- per Cents., 201 ; Peru-
vian 41 per Cents., 901 1-; Portuguese 3 per Cents.,
471 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 1111; Spanish 3 per
Cents., 46.1 47 ; Venezuela 5 per Cents., 41; and
Dutch 21 per Cents., 661.
Turkish Scrip is firmer, the present quotations
being 1 tol prem. for the first issue, and 1 to 11
prem, for the second. Applications to the extent of
£1,300,000 have been made for the remaining
£2,000,000 of the £5,000,000 Loan. The residue
will not be issued under 90 per cent. at least until
the 30th August; 1859.

in the Railway Share Market this morning, but
prices have shown rather more firmness. Cale-
donian have improved 15s. ; Midland and South-
Eastern, 10s. ; and Eastern Counties, Edinburgh,
Perth, and Dundee, and north British, ss. Great
Northern declined about ss. The Foreign and
Colonial lines are very quiet. Eastern of France
