MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.
CITY, Two o'CLoc K.
The return from the Bank of England for the
week endinc, the 11th inst. is of a rather satisfactory
character, although the changes in the various de-
partments are not of any great importance. In the
absence of accounts from Australia, the bullion
shows a slight falling off. The reserve of notes
has been slightly augmented, and the other
securities, owing to the limited demand for

mouey, are reduced. The Public Deposits have been
augmented by about half a million, through the col-
lection of the revenue, and this in a great measure
explains the diminution to about a like amount in
the private deposits. In the other items of the
ballance-sheet there is no alterations of importance ;
till*, will be seen in the subjoined statement :

About 35,0001. in gold was takea into the Bank
yesterday. The Australian remittance, via Suez,
amounting to 73,0001., has arrived, ands ill probably
ba, appropriated in a similar manner, the Continental
demand being very quiet. Although the return above
analysed shows an increase in the notes, and a
falling off of securities, the demand for money " out
of doers" is evidently increasing. This is owing to
the subscriptions to loans and new companies ; and
as a further considerable absorption for the
same purpose is anticipated, rather less easi-
ness in unancial affairs 59 not improbable.
Indeed, there are many who confidently
look for an adverse moveffent towards the end of
the year, when, in addition to the appi2opi:ation of
capital to new financial enterpi;se, the extension of
trade may also stimulate the demand for di. 'ount.
The New York exchange is rather lower, but the
coat inentel rates continue firm. No immcci:;.te in-
ere?, -e in the exports of specie is expeeed.
du the Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, a
Moderate amount of business was transacted, and
7,0.50 bales were sold at about former values. In
Itaii'vvay shares there was no particular alteration,
but prices of some of the leading lines slightly re-
cedes.!
Since Monday last the imports of specie have been
about £125,711, and the exports £2OO, exclusive of
the folloNving shipments direct from London to the
continent .during the week ending Thursday last :
