Igal V El' MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
An active inquiry for accommodation is still re-
ported, but the rates of discount, although exceed-
ingly firm, present no positive alteration. It is
evident that the preparations for to•moirow, the
4th of the month, have exerted:some influence which
may be merely temporary, but if trade expands as
anticipated, and loans are brought forward and
negotiated, a permanent alteration may be specially
initiated. At present, however, the minimum is 21
per cent for the best bills, and ample accommoda-
tion can be obtained on other descriptions of sound
commercial paper at proportionate rates. The en-
gagements which have now arrived at maturity,
are rather large, but in the present healthy state
of mercantile affairs, and with such unusual dis-
count facilities important failures are considered
improbable.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex-
hibited no alteration of importance.
A sum of £33,000 was sent into the Bank of
England yesterday. The remainder of the recent
Australian remittances, amounting to nearly
£400,000 has been taken for the continent.
Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were
steady. The sales only amounted to between 4,000
and, 5,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market
the transactions were of a limited character, and
quotations ruled lower.

At the meeting of the English, Scotish, and
A.astrolian Chartered Bank proprietors, the
Chairman congratulated the meeting on the
increased business of the Bank, and regretted
That the balance-sheet had been signed by
only one auditor. It was, however, explained
that Mr. Reed, the auditor, had refused to sign it
.on account of the the Royal Mail Com-
pany (viz. £11,000) not being again reported. The
report was adopted. Mr. Reed, however, retired
from the office of auditor.

The Funds opened this morning at a slight im-
provement, but owing to a few sales, a reaction
ensued, but the market, notwithstanding a little
fatness, is tolerably well maintained. Business
continues on a most limited scale, as speculation
dull, and the public abstain from making invest-
Meats. Consols have been 95 to 951 for
Money, and 951 to / for account ; the present
Prices, however, are 941 95 for money and account.
The New Threes and the Reduced have been dealt
in at 951 to to 951, being firm; the New 21 per
Cents, have advanced to 791 ; and Long Annuities
• (1885), to 18 ; ditto (1860), are steady at 11-16 ;
India Stock is 220 ; ditto Loan Debentures, 1858,
have improved to 941, but those of 1859 have re-
' ceded to 931; Exchequer Bills remain at 275. to
80a. prem.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been
Moderately active, and prices in some instances
show an advance. Turkish 6 per Cents, are
80 to 82 ; ditto New Loan, 69 to 71 ; and the
4 per Cents, are 102 ex div. ; Brazilian 5 per
Cents. have improved to 1031 and 104/ ; Chilian
6 per Cents. to 103/ ; Peruvian 4-1- per dents. to
901; and Russian 5 per Cents. to 1121. •Sardinian
8 per Cents. are steady at 853; but Dutch 21 per
Cents. are fiat at 65/, and the 4 per Cents.
at 1001.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on a very limited scale. Prices opened with
some appearance of buoyancy, they afterwards ex-
hibited a slight depression, but they have again
shown more firmness in one or two instances.
Midland and North British have advanced 55.; Great
Western, Brighton, and North Eastern (Berwick),
10s. ; North Western have declined 55.; and South
Eastern, 10s.. The other lines dealt in were at
about yesterday's closing quotations.

In the Foreign Market Lombardo-Venetian Old
Shares advanced to 101 108, and the New to 101
108,

The Colonial undertakings are also a shade
firmer. East Indian have risen 10s., and Great
Western of Canada ss.

loint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
firmer, at previous rates. The business transacted,
ho'yrever, has been extremely limited.

THIS DAY'S MARKET&

CORN EXCHANGE.

An unusually small supply of English wheat was on
offer here to-day. The attendance of millers was by no
Means numerous, yet a good clearance of the samples was
effected, at Monday's currency.
There was a moderate inquiry for good and fine qualities
of foreign wheat, at full prices; but inferior kinds were
vet,' dull, at late rates.
Barley, the show of which was limited, moved off slowly,
9et prices were supported. In malt very little was doing,
at the late decline.
The oat trade was in a sluggish state; nevertheless, no
change took place in the quotations.
Beans and peas were dull ; but flour ruled firm. The
4°roinal top price of the best town-made was 435. per
2801bs.
