CITY, Two o'CLocii.

A steady demand for money is still experienced
in the general market, but as the supplies are very
iberal, the requirements of the public are met
without producing the slightest effect upon the
terms charged for accommodation. Business con-
tinues very quiet, and no new joint stock projects
are introduced to provide employment for capital.
There is consequently an accumulation which
keeps the market in an easy state.

There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday.
The Silver Market continues quiet and without
alteration, bars being ss. 2d. to ss. 2kd. per ounce
standard.

The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under :

1859.
North-Western £66,182

West Hartlepool
Edinburgh and Glasgow
Glasgow and South-Western
Grand Trunk of Canada

_

The above returns exhibit a very satisfactory
increase of traffic on most of the principal lines :
the augmentation on the North Western amounts
to Z5;664 ; on the South Western to £1,215 ; on
the Brighton to £1,594 ; on the Midland to £3,809;
on the South Eastern to £1,685 ; on the Great

£1,099 ; on the Edinburgh and Glasgow to £359 ;
on the Grand Trunk of Canada to £43; and on the
Great Luxembourg to £874. The Great Western
of Canada statement shows a decrease of £994.
The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed
with a more animated appearance, and prices of
American advanced t-d. per lb. The sales amounted
to 12,000 bales. A fair amount of business was
transacted in Railway Shares, and quotations con-
tinued to improve.

The Bank of England directors have separated,
after their weekly court, as anticipated, without an-
nouncing any further change in their discount
regulations.

During the early hours of business the Market
for English Securities presented a very quiet but
firmer appearance. The few transactions recorded
showed a preponderance of purchases, and the result
'Was favourable. A rise of per cent., compared
with yesterday's closing values, was soon attained.
The market, however, now presents renewed
indications of weakness, a few sales having
caused a reaction of 4 to Z- per cent. Con-
sols, which had touched 93 to -I, are now
921 93. This movement has been stimulated
by the reported heaviness of the Paris bourse.
The New Threes are steady at 931 4 ; the Reduced
at 931 ; Bank Stock at 219 to 221; Exchequer
Bills at 245. to 275. prem. India Loan Debentures
are flat at 94,1 95 ; but ditto Scrip is firmer at 94.
The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market
have been rather restricted, but prices generally
have been well supported, Turkish 6 per Cents.
being 77 to '79 ; ditto New, 62 to 61 ; and the 4 per
Cents. have advanced to 10314; Brazilian 5 per Cents.
to 1001, Sardinian to 82, Spanish 3 per Cents. to
43 ; but the Deferred is steady at 301, and the
Passive flat at 84 ; Venezuelan 5 per Cents. have
improved to 401, but the Deferred has receded
to 161.

In the Railway Share Market rather less buoy-
ancy has been apparent, and in one or two instances
a decline of 4to per cent. has taken place. Cale-
donian, Midland, and North British have receded
OR. ; and South Eastern, 10s. Great Northern,
Great Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,
Improved ss. ; North Western, and Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 103. : and Eastern Counties, 15s.

The Foreign lines have been very quiet. Lom-
bardo-Venetian shares were at about former rates,
viz., the Old at 67,- 7, and the New at 61 64.
In' the Colonial Market a slight decline has
occurred. East Indian receded to 10117 1011;
Great Indian Peninsula to 981. Grand Trunk of
Canada are heavy, at 36.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
exceedingly inactive, and prices show no material
alteration. Red Sea and Indian Telegraph are
dealt in at 9.

depressed, Consols being 921 Z.
