MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLoCK.

The return from the Bank of England for the
-week ending 27th inst. is of a rather satisfactory
character. In the bullion there is a slight. dimi-
nution:con3Tquent upon the non-arrival of remit-
tances from Australia, and the increased demand
which has arisen for the Continent. In the
reserve of notes there is a slight augmentation,
and the other securities still continue at a rather
large amount, notwithstan4ng the minimum rate
still remains at 3 per cent. The public deposits
show an increase of over half a million, but this is
in some measure balanced by the decrease in the
private deposits ; the instalments on the late
Indian Loan and payments on revenue account
fully accounting for these changes. The active circu-
lation has been diminished by about a quarter of a
million, and in the Government securities there is
no alteration. The other items of the balance
sheet exhibit little variation of importance, and
will be seen in the subjoined table :

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and prices were unaltered. Thesales were
estimated at 6,000 bales.
About X 50,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
Bank of England yesterday for the Continent,
where it is required to purchase silver on eastern
account. This circumstance, coupled with the de-
;lining tendency of the exchanges, shows that the
directors were warranted in refraining from a pre-
cipitate course of action with regard to the rate of
discount.

The demand for money continues very quiet.
wen at the low rates current in Lombard-street,
the number of bills offered for negotiation is
limited. Next week the payments of the 4th may
Rive a temporary stimulus to the inquiry, although
it is understood the engagements which will then
arrive at maturity are comparatively small. Large
supplies of gold are shortly expected from Victoria
and other places, which may assist in preserving
the existing easiness and cause a renewed accumu-
lation of bullion in the Bank of England vaults.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about £165,300, and the exports £60,600,
exclusive of the following shipments direct from
the Continent during the week ending Thursday
last :—Gold coin : Boulogne, 300 oz. ; Hamburg,
100; and Belgium, 500. Silver coin : Boulogne,
3,000 oz. Silver bars : Hamburg, 780 oz. ; Rotter-
4oln, 2,800.
The Market for English Securities is exceedingly
dull, and increased heaviness is exhibited by the
official closing quotations. This unfavourable
change can only be attributed to the decline in the
exchangesand the withdrawal of gold from the
