ittONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

0 wing' to the extraordinory abundance of money
and the low terms upon which the best bills can
be negotiated, the possibility of a reduction in the
minimum Bank rate is attracting some attention,
notwithstanding the unsatisfactory position of
financial affairs in Paris. The next weekly return
is expected to show a large decrease in the Other
Securities, and unless the authorities -offer increased
facilities, it can scarcely be supposed that they will
be enabled to replace the bills arriving at maturity
on the 4th pros.

The trade receipts of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the 18th inst.

Bank of England yesterday.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon exhi-
bited no important variation.

Gold is now about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris, and 4-10ths per cent, higher
here than in Hamburg. i
The suspension has been announced of Messrs.
Barnard, Rosenthall, and Co., braid and trimming
manufacturers, with liabilities estimated at between
£60,000 and £70,000. The assets will, no doubt,
prove considerable.

The Tyne has arrived at Lisbon from the Brazils,

The prospectus of the Roodee Iron Shipbuilding
Company has just been brought before the
public. The proposed capital is £lOO,OOO in £lO
shares, and the premises it proposes to purchase
have been long known as a shipbuilding yard under
private management. The proprietor has consented
to receive the purchase money in shares of the new
company, the ultimate success of which is confi-
dently anticipated, owing to the steadily increasing
demand for iron vessels now so requisite for the
development of trade.

morning with an improved appearance, and a steady
