MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS,

CITY, Two o'CLocic,

There is a fair demand for money in the open
market, and it is evident the applications are increas-
ing, as usual towards the end of the quarter. The
terms charged for accommodation still range as low
as 2-1 per cent., aad the inquiry at the Bank is con-
sequently very limited, but the probability of a
further reduction in the minimum has attracted
little attention in Commercial and Stock Exchange
circles.

A further sum of about £32,000 was taken into
the Bank of England yesterday, and about
£lOO,OOO in gold arrived from Russia.
The Owen Glendower has been announced this
morning from Port Phillip with £141,644 in

specie:
Accounts from Liverpool report that in the cotton
market yesterday a very moderate business was
transacted, only 5,000 bales having been sold, at
previous rates. In the railway share market rather
more activity was apparent, and prices were slightly
firmer.

There was a special meeting of the Sittingbourne
and Sheerness Railway Company to-day, at which
the bill in Parliament for leasing the line to the
East Kent Railway Company for five years, and
for other purposes, was agreed to after some dis-
cussion.

The directors of the Bank of England at their
meeting to-day made no alteration in the discount
regulations. Notwithstanding the easiness of the
Money market it was scarcely expected that any
change would be announced, especially as the en-
quiries for accommodation are temporarily in-
creased, during the arrangements connected with
the close of the half year.

In the market for Public Securities to-day there
has been very little fluctuation. The transactions
both real and speculative having been limited,
the effect they have produced on values has been
'Unimportant. The tendency, however, has
been rather less favourable, in consequence
of a few speculative sales. Consols, which
closed yesterday at 921 I, are now. 921 1 ; and a
heavy tone pervades the other departments of the
Stock Exchange. The New Threes are steady at
821 93 ; the Reduced at 931 ; Exchequer Bills at
235. to 265. prem. ; India Loan. Debentures at 94-:-
/ ; and ditto Loan Scrip, 93! ; Bank Stock firmer
Itt 219 to 221.

Rather less animation is apparent in the market
for Foreign Securities ; prices in most instances,
however, are rather heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents.
are 72 to 73; ditto New, 59 to 60; and the 4 per
Cents, have advanced to 1031 ; Brazilian 41 per
Cents., to 911 ; Peruvian Uribarren, to 801 ; and
Dutch 4 per Cents, to 97k ; Mexican Stock remains
at 184.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up'
to this day, are in round figures ,as under:— • .

The Whitsuntide holidays having occurred at a
Ater period this year than in the previous one, the
4'04 returns of most of the principal lines show a
ZerY large increase on those of the like period of
858. The increase on the Great Western has
'leers £2,972 ; on the North Western, £8,029 ; on the
south Western, £6,556 ; on the Brighton, £3,034 ;
tla the Midland, £4,192 ; on the South Eastern,
X 2,041; on the Great Northern, £3,671 ; on the
neashire and Yorkshire, £11,506 ; on the North-
stern, £3,333 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and
I.4incoln, £5,071; on the North Stafford, £1,566 ;
/la the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton,
; on the Edinburgh and Glasgow, £555 ;
lald on the Grand Trunk of Canada, £340 ; on the
?litsgow and South Western there is a decline of
'41113 and on the Great Western of Canada,
996.
a In the Railway Share Market a further slight
oclension has been apparent in some of the prin-
tri Pal lines. Caledonian, Great Western, North
tith and Stockton, and Darlington declined 55.;
44°a(Ion and Brighton, 10s., and South Eastern,
158, ; North Eastern (York), and ditto Leeds im-
rloved about ss. to 10s. ; North Western, Great
Northern, Midland, and Oxford, Worcester and
Wolverhampton, were at about previous rates.
In the Foreign and Colonial Markets the opera-
&ls have been very circumscribed. Lombardo-
Yketian Old shares were steady at 6: 61, and the
InIeNT at 6i. East Indian improved to 1001, and
'and Trunk of Canada to 35.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares have
7°ll very dull ; little variation, however, can be
rded in values. London and County improved
Zeaut ss. ; and Union of London declined Ss. Red
a Telegraph advanced ss.
