74. r‘TTELLIGENO .

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Bank of England return, made up to the
3d inst., h:is exhibited a small decline in the
amount of bullion, a circum-tanco that has not
occurred for nearly four months past. The large
amounts now on their way from Australia will,
however, soon replace the small deficiency. The
other securities have shown a slight increase, con-
sequent upon the preparations to meet the pay
ments of the 3d and 4th of the month ; and in the
reserve of notes there is a diminution of over leaf
a million. In the other deposits there is a large
falling off, but a slight incre ise may be noticed in
the public deposits. The other items in the balrnce-
sheet exhibit no very material alteration, and are
in most respects of a satisfactory character. The
various items, and the charges they present, will
be seen by the following table :

For some tine past the movements in the Bask
have been uniform, but the improvement having
now been considerable, an occasional reaction in
the principal items must be expeete I. When
business becomes more active, and as a consequence
the demand for money has increased, some additions
to the other securities and a larger circulation of
notes will follow as a matter of course. The in-
quiry for discount even now exhibits some indica-
tions of expansion, and the bill-brokers are charging
per cent. more than they did a week ago. The
tendency will, no doubt, be in favour of an advance,
but some time must elapse before the Bank authori-
ties will be compelled to render their regulations
more stringent.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, and values of all descripions were well
maintained. The sales were estimated at 5,000
bales, 500 of which were taken on speculation and
for export.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about 393,3491., and the exports 354,6831.,
exclusive of the followieg shipments direct from
London to the Continent during the week ending
Thursday last :

The market for English Securities has been very
heavy to-day, and the transactions completed,
Which have been limited, have generally been at
lower prices. An unfavourable influence seems to
have been produced by the Bank of England
return, but the depression on the Paris Bourse
also produces a heavy tone in this market.
Consols have been 96t 1 for money, and 961 for
account. The latter are now 961 buyers. The
Nevr Three per Cents. have been specially trans-
ferred at 961 97, and the Reduced at 96g. Bank

Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been
restricted, and prices have generally exhibited a
downward tendency. Turkish 6 per Cents. are
101 to 101 t ; Ditto 4 per Cents., 1031 ; Spanish 3
Per Cents., 44. E ; Ditto Deferred, 261 ; Buenos
Ayres Deferred, 17a ; Peruvian .0 per Cents.,
80 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45t ; and Dutch 4
Per Cents., 1001 to 101.
Only a moderate business has been done to-day
in the Railway Share Market, and lyric s hare ex-
hibited a further downward tendency of about t
to per cent. Eastern Counties, Great Northern,
Great Western, Brighton, Midland, and North
British have declined 10s. ; North Western and
South Eastern, 15s. ; and Caledonian, 11. The
Foreign lines have been very dull. Northern of
Prance have receded 55., and Paris and
Lyons, 10s. In the Colonial Market lower
rates are current, with very little business doing.
Bast Indian have receded ss. to 103. ; Grand Trunk
of Canada, 10s. to 153. ; and Great Western of
Canada, ss.
In Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares there
is little variation to report. Electric Telegraph
hate declined about 15s.
