310NEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK,

A steady business is reported in the Money
Market at about previous quotations, but rather a
firmer tone is perceptible.
About £43,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
of England yesterday.
In the foreign exchange yesterday afternoon
a slight decline was apparent in the rates on Am-
sterdam, Vienna, and Trieste ; the quotations on
Paris and Frankfort, however, were a shade higher.
A call of £2 103. per share, amounting in the ag-
gregate to X 56,250, becomes due on Monday, on the
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, Garston, &c.,
extension railway shares, and of £1 12s. or
£130,560 on the shares of the Riga and Dunaburg
Railway.

It has been notified that 280 Bonds of the
Brazilian 5 per cent. Loan of 1824-5, amounting to
£37,300, will be paid off at par on and after the Ist
proximo, and it has also been announced that
£136,253 has been employed in the redemption of
798 Peruvian 4f per cent. Bonds of 1853.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to about £524,900, and the exports to
£166,000.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
ness continued very active, and prices were firm.
The sales were estimated at 20,000 bales.
The Commercial Union Fire Assurance Company
commence business this day (Saturday). The
directors, in issuing their tariff for London mercan-
tile business, state that it has been adjusted on the
principle of classification—thus adopting the plan
that each class of goods should be charged a premium
proportionate to its risk. Another new and valu-
able feature in the undertaking is that at the
expiration of five years a per tentage of profits on
premiums paid will be returnable to insurers. Much
benefit is expected to be derived from the selection
of so valuable an officer as Mr. Henry Thomson for
the post of manager, whose long experience at the
" Royal" will be of considerable service to the new
company.

The transactions in the English Stock Market to
day have not been very numerous, but they have
included some speculative sales, which have led to a
decline of / per cent., Consils having receded to
924 93 for transfer, and to 93 938 for the 10th of
October. The market has closed with a very un-
favourable appearance. The New Threes remain at

steady at ss. dis. ; India 5 per Cent. Loan is firm at

1031 ; but the Bonds have receded to 9s. prem.

corded in Foreign Securities, and prices have been
well supported. Turkish t 6 per Cents. are 851 1;

dealt in, quotations ranging from 261 to 271,

81
831.

The chief business transacted to-day in the Rail- ss

the arrangements for the half-monthly settlement,

ness. North-Westerns and Midlands declined 10s. ; 4
South-Easterns, ss. ; and Great Westerns, and
Lancashire and Yorkshire, £l. Caledonians, how-
ever, improved 10s.
