MONEY MA

CITY, Two o'CLocx.
There is an active demand for discount accommo-
dation, but it is readily supplied by the banks and
discount firms who have ample means at their
disposal, and the arrangements for to-morrow, the
4th of the month, are not attended by the slightest
degree of pressure or stringency. In many instances
provision has been made for some days past, and the
applications at the last moment are proportionately
reduced, but there is still a large supply of bills
Which are negotiated on terms ranging from 61 per
cent• and upwards, according to quality and the
period they have to run.
A large amount of Australian gold—viz., about
£l4o,ooo—was sent into the Bank of England
yesterday.
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex-
hibited a slight decline in the rates on Paris and
Ratnburg; those on Vienna and Trieste, however,
Were rather higher.
Gold is now about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris, and B.loths per cent. higher
than in Hamburg.
The Oneida has arrived at Lisbon from the
)3razils, with £24,636 in specie.
The steamer Ceylon, which leaves to-morrow for
India, China, &c., will take out £77,167 in silver
and £14,449 in gold.
Increased dullness was exhibited in the Liver-
Pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices tended
downwards. The sales were about 5,000 bales.
The advices from the manufacturing districts re-
Port continued inactivity in most departments of
trade, and a recovery is scarcely anticipated until
Money becomes easier, and an improvement is exhi-
bited in foreign politics.
At the annual meeting of the governor and com-
pany of copper miners in England, the balance-
sheet presented showed a balance against the com-
pany of £1,490 15s. 9d. Some discussion ensued,
from which it appears that great hopes are enter-
tained that at a future period the undertaking will
become remunerative, although now working at a
leas, in consequence of the depressed price of metals.
Decreased depression has prevailed in the
Market for Public Securities to-day, Consols having
receded to 91k a for money, to 911 I for the 18th
inst., and to 911 I for May. The principle cause
of this decline is the apprehension felt with regard
to continental affairs, especially in reference to
Austria and Italy. The speculators have been
encouraged to effect sales on this account, notwith-
Standing the influx of gold into the Bank of Eng-
land, and the improved prospects of the money
Market. India Stock has receded to 220, ditto 5
Per Cent, to 998 100; ditto 51 per Cent. Rupee
Paper has improved to 1001, but Exchequer Bills
are 12s, to 7s. dis.

Business in the Foreign Market has been mode-
rately active, but prices show a downward tendency.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 to 74 ; ditto, 1858,
631 54. Mexican have receded to 241 ; Sardinian
to 82, and Spanish to 481 ; Dutch 21 per Cent. are
nrm at 631 64, Brazilian 5 per Cents. have declined
to 981 ex div.
Considerable heaviness has prevailed in the Rail-
way Share Market, and a further decline of about
tog per cent. has taken place in the value of
most of the principal British undertakings. Cale-
donians, Great Westerns, Lancashire and York-
shire, North Westerns, Midlands, and South
ftsterns have receded 55.; North British, 10s.;
41141 North Eastern Berwick, 15s.
In the Foreign Market scarcely any business has
ueen,transicted, and prices are nominally a shade
titter.

The Colonial Lines are also depressed, .East
Indian having declined to 981 99, and Great Indian
Peninsula to 941 95.
For Joint Stock Banks and Miscellaneous shares
there have been a moderate inquiry, and quotations
being
slightly improved, London and Westminster
being dealt in at 654 ; Oriental Bank at 481 49 ;
nion of London, however, have declined to 234;
general
Land steady at 114 to 1144; and London
‘leneral Omnibus Company at 1.
