London, England, 1859-12-07 00:00:00

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Money Market continues in an easy posi-
tion notwithstanding the recent increase in the
demand for accommodation, and the upward ten-
dency in the rates. First class bills are negotiated
at 21 per cent., and the commercial community are
neabled to obtain ample facilities for the active
Prosecution of business. No attempt is, however,
made to encourage hazardous speculation and the
Ordinary requirements of trade, although they
have been recently augmented are yet compara-
tively moderate. Even at the Stock Exchange
tne utmost caution is observed, business being
exceedingly quiet, and, as the supply of money is
Plentiful, loans are negotiated on Government secu-
rities as low as 2 per cent. The inquiry at that
establishment has been temporarily stimulated by
the liquidation of account in Consols ; but as opera-
tions_ have been so much curtailed, and the markets
have been free from extensive variation, the aggre-
gate amount of differences to be provided for to-day
'nest be rather limited.
. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex-
hibited a slight decline in the rates on Vienna and
Trieste.
At the Bank of England yesterday there were
no bullion operations of importance.
According to the advices received this morning

411 d the Anglesey with £280,000.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, a
Moderate amount of business was transacted, and
