MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

...~.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is quiet, and the rates still
show a downward tendency. The Bank of Eng-
land directors, however, have not made any altera-
tion in their discount negotiations to-day.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday:
The Arago, which left Liverpool yesterday for
New York, took out only £3,000 in specie.
The half yearly meeting of the Submarine Tele-
graph Company has been convened for the 30th
instant.

Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices slightly ad-
vanced. The sales amounted to 20.000 bales.

At a meeting to day of the creditors of Messrs.
Beater, Dennant, and Russ, trading as James Cos-
ter, Beater, and Russ, a balance sheet was presented,
giving the liabilities at £216,863, and the assets at
£168,482. The position of affairs was fully ex-
plained by the accountant, and it was finally
resolved that the estate should be liquidated under
a committee of inspection. Owing to the season of
the year, it is considered advisable to realise the
stock at once, and for this purpose a sale will take
place probably next Week. _ _ .

Business in the market for Public Securities con-
tinues active, and the recent improvement is gene-
rally well maintained. Indeed, transactions have
been entered into to-day at a further rise of 1 per
cent., but it has not been fully supported, a few
sales to realise profits having caused a reaction.
Consols for transfer have been 911 f, and 91f
for the account, but the latest quotations are 911
and 911 f respectively. The New Threes and
the Reduced have advanced to 911 ; Bank
Stock to 233 and 2341 ; India ditto is steady at
2191 and 220 ; ditto 5 per Cent. has improved to
1021 41 ditto Debentures to 971 ; and the Bonds
to par. A further rise of 1 per cent. has taken
place in the New Indian Loan Scrip, viz., to 1031,
and it has been in great request.
Foreign Securities are not quite so firm, but the
dealings have been rather active. Turkish 6 per
Cents. are 79 to 791 ; ditto, 1858, 69/ 4 ; ditto
£lOO Bonds have receded to 721, and Mexican to
22 ; Sardinian are firm at 791 ; Spanish steady at
49k ; and Brazilian have improved to 100.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under
1861.

These returns snow some unfavourable features,
owing to the dulness of trade in the manufactur-
ing districts. On the Lancashire and Yorkshire
there is a decrease of £730; on the North-Eastern
of £427 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,
of £B5 ; on the Great Western of £1,044 ; on
the North Western of £2,079; and on the
south-Eastern of £683. The South-Western,
however, shows an increase of £1,051 ; the Brighton
of £3,591 ; the Midland of £632; the Great Northern
of £754; the Grand Trunk of Canada of £725;
and the Great Western of Canada of £253.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market
have been of an average extent, and in sever'kl
instances a further advance has taken place.
North Westerns and North Easterns (Berwick),
have improved ss. ; Eastern Counties, 10s. ; Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover, 15s. ; and Caledonian,
Brighton, Midlands, and West Midlands, £1 ; South
Easterns, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolns
have declined ss. to 101:

The Foreign and Colonial lines have been in
moderate favour, at about previous rates. Great
Luxembourg realise 81 ; Dutch Rhenish 131;
Bahia and San Francisco 121; and San Paulo 21;
East Indian have improved to 1011 lu2; and Great
Indian Peninsula realise 981 t.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
are flit. London and County have declined to 34i;
Oriental Bank to 504 ; Madras Irrigation are steady
at 21 3; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam new
shares at 413 411.

REVIVAL OF CAMBERWELL FAIR.--Yesterday
morning, in consequFnce of a most riotous scene which
took place the previous afteernoon and night at the fsir in
the Brixton-road, a number of police constables of the P
division were stationed L round the place to prevent the
public gaining access thereto, the street leading to the field
upon which the fair is held being private property. From
some remarks made by one of the police-magistrates, Mr.
Radcliffe (the owner of the field) sought the aid of the F olioe,
and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon a large number of constables
marched to the spot, and endeavoured to clear the fair, which
was densely thronged with visitors. Shortly after this a
further body of police arrived, making a total of more than
50 officers, and a scene of a most extraordinary riotous de-
scription took place ; although through the excellent con-
duct of the constables there was no actual collision. The
ground, after a deal of difficulty, was cleared, and the police
so placed as to prevent any one re•entering. During the
evening, however, hundreds of pers,,ns thronged to the
place, until the number in the public road and vicinity of
the fair could not have been less than from four to five
thousand persons. For a long time the neighbourhood was
ditturbed by the shouting, yelling, and other discordan
noises made by the exaspereted mob who were prevented
from entering the fair.

THE WHEAT CROP IN CANADA.—The following
is from the Hamilton Times :—" A large part of the fall
wheat has been cut down during the week in this country,
and from samples shown us to .day appears to be of excel-
lent quality. The breadth of wheat sown is not so large as
last year, and though in some parts of the country the crop
is light, still the yield will be fully an average one. It has
not, as far as we can learn, suffered from any of those dis-
eases which wheat is heir to ; but where there has been a
falling off, it is to be accounted for from natural causes.
Accounts from nearly all parts of tho province agree in
stating that the yield of wheat will be fully as good as last
year, and though it is not likely to command so high a
price, still our farmers have no reason to complain of the
reward of their labours.

A MAN FOUND DROWNED IN THE THAMES.—
Shortly before seven o'clock yesterday morning, as Israel
Bloomfield, belonging to the Monarch sailing vessel, of
Ipswich, which had just put in near the Surrey side of
Blackfriars-bridge, was engaged on board, he discovered
the body of a man floating down the Thames. He imme
diately lowered a boat, and by means of a rope succeeded in
drawing it to the landing steps. The discovery having been
made known to ne police, a shell was procured, and the
holy was removed to the Christchurch dead-house. The
deceased, who was dressed in a suit of corduroy, was dread-
fully emaciated ; and with the exception of some coins found
in his pocket, nathing could be traced to lead to his identity.
He is apparently about 35 or 40 years of age, and it is sup-
posed that he must have been in the water two or three
dargr.
