MONEY MAIKE7' AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Only a small amount of gold was taken into the
nola: ye,terda;), but the movement will no doubt
be actively resumed as soon as fresh supplies arc
announced from Australia and other parts. The
£103,780 brought by the Eagle will be available in
a few days, and in the meanwhile further imports
are likely to take place, as one or two vessels, also
from Victoria, may now be considered overdue: The
°llll°o3, from the West Indies, has conveyed
£162,000--viz £96,000 in gold, and the remainder
in silver. Notwithstanding the departure of a
t amer to the East on Saturday, the market for
t,e e
latiet metal continued quiet, the intelligence
from India not being of a character to stimulate the
!fillut in that direction. Altogether, the operations
14 Specie are most favourable, and, in the present
position of the exchanges, a further large accumu-
lation seems inevitable.

An increased demand for accommodation is now
exPerienced throughout the discount market, but
4,
aPPlications are now of a pressing character,
and the alteration in the rates is unimportant. At
the Bank also a large business is now transacted
"g to the loan instalments and the liquidation
°f commercial engagements.
The dividend proposed by the Edinburgh and
0
lasenvf Railway Company is at the rate of 3 per
cent.

The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are, in round figures, as under
1858. 1857.

Although the above returns do not exhibit much
alteration, it is evident that the tendency is
favourable. The accounts from all parts of the
Country report an extension of commercial enter-
Prise, and this must speedily develop the traffic
1113 on the principal lines of railway.
Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed steadily, and prices were
r,l-3' supported. The sales amounted to 7,000
es- The Railway Share Market presented a
avery quiet appearance, and values were unaltered.
The subjoined memorandum is from the Spanish
American Bondholders' Committee

Advices have been received from Mr. Mocatta, dated ,
the 9th August, stating that the differences between 1
'4lglish and French Ministers and the Venezuelan
°Nrertunent remained unsettled."
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have
received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated
ee, the 2d ult. Colonel Facio has by this
Packet been instructed to distribute the balance
the Bank of England (amounting to about 1 per '
ce
mnt). After the close of this operation he goes as
irge d'Affaires to the Hanse Towns, and Messrs.
_nsar ring Brothers, jointly with himself, have been
nered the financial agency of Mexico in London.
The Government have also agreed to confer the
vght on the bondholders to appoint interventors in
" Custom-house to act as receivers of the duties
assigned for the payment of interest on the debt.
The Ports, however, still repudiate the government
13f the capital, and the packet consequently comes
rhout a remittance for the dividend fund. Politics
Jellied to remain in statu quo. Both parties claim
victory in the battle fought near Guadalajara,
but Guanajuato had been re-occupied by the
o
(Werument troops. M. Castello y Lanzis
f had been named Minister of Foreign Af-
airs ; and Senor Dr. Pedro Jarren Minis-
ter of Finance. To their goodwill and honour-
able feeling, as well as to the exertions of her
Majesty's Minister in Mexico, Mr. Otway, the
bondholders are indebted for what there is en=
eollraging in the above advices.
The principal subject of discussion in the Stock
Exchange to-day is the probable success of the
Turkish loan. The majority of the members seem
1,
_O7 adverse to this financial operation, and many
luallential capitalists are doing their utmost to
thwart the efforts of the contractors. These, how-
ever, will no doubt completely fail, for there is
reason to believe that applications have already
been-b received for nearly the whole of the amount.
Extensive sales of scrip have been effected by spe-
culators, and at one time as low as 4to per cent.
Premium ; since then, however, they have rallied
t° about t premium. t-
Vey heavy tone is manifest in -the various
flarkets of the Stock Exchange to-day. The ab-
11Teue of speculation, and the introduction of the
.„urkish loan, seem to have produced a very preju-
Z•eial influence ; the near approach of the settling-
maY has also contributed towards the gloomy feel-
118' now temporarily exhibited. The fluctuations
however,
are not very important, and Consols, after
elPeriencing a decline of about 4- per cent., are
now steady at the previous quotations, namely, 96a
, for money and account, and 961, for the Octo-
ber settlement. The New 3 per Cents. are 971 t,

About an average amount of business has been
transacted in the Railway Share Market, and for
several of the principal lines prices have shown a
downward tendency. North-Western and Midland
declined ss. ; Great Western and South-Eastern,
; and South-Western, 15s. Eastern Counties
afid North-Eastern (Berwick) improved ss. ; and
Caledonian, 10s. East Lancashire, Brighton, and
ianchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln were at previous
(Notations. In the Foreign Market the dealings
were exceedingly limited. Italian Junction
brought 10, and Southern of France, 22k.
The Colonial lines were dull. Grand Trunk of
'Canada declined 10s., and East Indian ss.
