MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMEIWIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return for the week end-
ing the 30th June is of a rather unsatisfactory
character. The other securities, owing to the
preparations made for the commercial payments of
the 4th of the month, show an addition of over a
million and a quarter, and the reserve of
notes has been touched upon to the extent
of about a million sterling. The bullion
consignments upon the remittances to the con-
tinent shows a decrease of nearly one hundred
thousand pounds sterling. The public deposits '
show slight augmentation, and the private deposits
have increased over half a million. In the active
circulation there is an increase of nearly one mil-
lion. In the other items of the balance sheet there
is little alteration requiring special report, they I
will be seen in the following table :

When the mass of paper duo to day is liquidated,
and the effect of the necessary preparations is past,
the Money Market will probably become easier ;
but it is evident that the supply is reduced, and
that the wants of the commercial public are steadily
on the increase. It is true the dividends, which
will be shortly paid, will promote a beneficial in-
fluence, but the various railway calls and loan
instalments must trench upon the resources of the
public. At present the terms are fully maintained
at 3 per cent, and hence the eaten-,ive applications
at the Bank. An addition of 1,800,000/ to the
"other securities," in the space of a week, as ex-
hibited above, is evidence of a degree of pressure
such as has not been experienced since the crisis.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday mani-
fested a very firm appearance, and prices of all
descriptions were fully maintained. The sales
were estimated at 12,000 bales, 4,000 of which
were taken on speculation and for export.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about 274,3581., and the exports 97,8121.,
exclusive of the following shipments direct from
London to the continent during the week ending
Thursday last :

Gold Coin—Boulogne .
Silver Coin —Boulogne ..

The market for English Securities has been dull,
and the transactions have not led to any change of
importance. The Bank return has caused some
flatness, and altogether there is an uncomfortable
feeling. Consols for the Bth inst. have been 94A1,
and for the August account 951 b. The New
Three per Cents. are about g ; and also the
Reduced Bank Stock is 22. The March Exchequer
Bills are 30s. to 31s. prem., and the June ditto
10s. to 20s. prnn.
The number of transactions recorded in the
Foreign Stock Market ate not very numorou-.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 911 5 ; Brazilian 5 per
Cents., 101-'4- ; Ditto .New Scrip, 14 to 1 dis. ;
Peruvian 4 per Cents., 88,1 I; Russian 41 per
Cents., 99 ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 891 ; Spanish
New Deferred, 262 ; and Venezuela 5 per
Cents., 38 1.

North-Western, and North-Eastern (York), have
