MARKET AND CITY We.

CITY, Two o'Cr.ocK.
Continued activity is experienced in the Money
Market, the inquiries being numerous, and the
rates are firmly maintained in consequence.
Banker; and brokers show no inclination to grant
accommodation, under the Bank minimum,
1;ld higher terms are exacted for long
dated bills. Still it is thought that the
authorities will be immediately compelled to
raise the minimum to 3 per cent., although the
measure may be announced earlier than has been
anticipated if the public show a willingness to
encourage new projects. During the last few
"eeks a large amount of money has been subscribed
been
two or three joint-stock companies which have
been successfully introduced, and the payments
connected with the recent issue of £1,600,000 East
India Railway Debentures have no doubt assisted
t
° impart activity and firmness to the discount
market.
„No alteration of importance was apparent in
the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.

with a very dull appearance, and prices were with-
anY material variation. The sales were esti-
-1111..°10. at about 4,500 bales. In the Railway

acted at a decided decline in values.

although the demand on continen-
t account is still rather active.
The price of gold in Paris is dearer than in Lon-
e"' and
it is expected that the remittances will
ontinue on a large scale.
ianl/411.siness at the Stock Exchange continues very
active, as the speculators are not disposed to enter
in large
engagements while political affairs are
at Such an uncertain state. The tendency of prices
fr present is easily influenced by any intelligence
een„rll4: the Paris Bourse, and the rise or fall of a few
ae'ales has an effect on the quotations of English
ateurities. The Rentes closed yesterday afternoon
