CITY, Two o'CLocii.
The Bank of England return, completed to the
17th July, shows some rather unfavourable fea-
tures. The stock of bullion has been slightly de-
creascd, while the Reserve of Notes shows a dimi-
nution of considerably over a quarter of a million.
The payment of the dividends has caused a diminu-
tion in the Public Deposits, and in the Other Secu-
rities there is a failing off of over a quarter of a
tn illion,consequent upon the easier terms of discount
in the general' market. In the other items of the
balance-sheet the charges are of an unimportant
character—they will be seen in the subjoined
table :

count Company, a dividend at the rate of 5 per
cent, will be proposed.

has been issued prior to the meeting, which recom-
mend a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per

About £56,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
°f England yesterday.
The steamer Mooltan, which leaves to-morrow
for India, China, &c., will take out £77,877, nearly
all in silver.

There was less excitement in the Liverpool Cot-
ton Market yesterday, but a rather large amount of
business was transacted at full prices. The sales
Were estimated at 15,000 bales.
At the public sales of Colonial *Wool, which
Commenced yesterday afternoon, there was a
moderate attendance of home and foreign dealers.
Por inferior qualities of Sydney and Port Philip
the biddings were to an average extent, but other
qualities sold slowly, prices generally showing a
decline of ld. to ltd. per lb., compared with those
exhibited at the close of the previous auctions in
May last.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets,
the dealings have not been of a very exten-
sive character during the last day or two ; late
rates, however, have been sustained for most
of the principal staples. Sugars have been
in fair request at full values for the better qualities.
Coffee has remained in fair demand, and in rice,
spices, and fruit, the operations have been to an
average extent at about previous rates. Tallow,
however, has continued dull both for present and
forward delivery.
The suspension has been announced of Mr. James
Grieves, of Gracechurch-street, in the Australian
trade, with liabilities to the amount of about
£60,000. The assets consist chiefly of consign-
tnents to the colonies, and, being of recent date,
favourable expectations are entertained. as to the
result. The books are placed in the hands of
Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co.
The stoppage has also been announced of the
Monkland Iron and Steel Company, at Glasgow,
with liabilities estimated at nearly a quarter of a
million. Several of the Scotch banks are said to
be largely under advance to the company, but are
understood to be fully covered. A committee has
been appointed to investigate the accounts. The
establishment, 'which consists only of a few part-
ners, was believed up to a recent period to be
'wealthy.

At the half-yearly meeting of the St. Katherine's
Dock Company, it was stated that the net earnings
for the past six months amounted to £35,025 12s.
11d., from which it was resolved to pay a dividend
£1 15s. per £lOO stock, free of income tax ;
'Which will leave £1,079 2s. 11d, to be carried to
the n- •
ext account.
