MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The return from the Bank of Eug,land for the
'seek ending the 25th instant shows some very
satisfactory features. In the reserve of notes there
IS
an augmentation of over a quarter of a million,
rand the other securities show a small diminution.
eolhe bullion, owing to the cessation of shipments to the
.11tilient, has been increased to the extent of about
widr°o and it is very probable that this sum
e considerably augmented by the expected ar-
rivalsufrom the United States, Australia, &c. The
publle deposits show a large increase, but in the pri-
vate deposits there is a slight falling off. The active
circulation has also decreased to a small extent. In
thetotber items of the balance-sheet there is little
seen
of importance to report, and they will be
in the subjoined table :

further sum of almost £90,000 in gold was added

f;". no doubt be similarly appropriated, are expected
Australia next week. While the exports of
specie crmitinue so limited, the accumulation will
headily proceed, and therefore a much larger
Mal than that above recorded is not considered
siDiscount accommodation is rather more in request.
conee the date of the above return the inquiry on
olercial account has slightly influenced the busi-
"a transacted at the Bank, as well as in the open
rmariket, but the alteration thus far has been very
ed• Several large payments, however, will have
ht
e made next week, in addition to the commercial
ati 8 maturing on the 4th. These may temporarily
wti?,lulate the demand, and strengthen the quotations.
battPr,the present extensive supplies and the pro-
alter' of a large influx of specie, any immediate
ation of the minimum is deemed improbable.
Itkgetters from Liverpool report that the Cotton
dis.h et, yesterday, closed quietly-7,000 bales were
