MONEY DIARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The changes in the Bank of England return,
completed to the 21st inst., are again of a favour-
able character. Owing to the arrival of Australian
remittances, and the falling off in the supplies
forwarded to New York, the bullion has bean
increased to some extent. In the Reserve of Notes
there is also a large addition, while the Public
Deposits have been added to by about three quar-
ters of a million sterling, in consequence of the
active collection of the revenue. In tha Private
Deposits there is a small falling off, while the
other Securities have only been slightly aug-
mented. A favourable feature, however, is a
further addition to the Government Securities. In
the other items of the balance-sheet the changes
are unimportant. Subjoined are the particulars :

During the last few days there has been more
animation in the markets for Foreign and Colonial
Produce. Tea at public sale advanced about Id.
per lb., while sugar and coffee have slightly im-
proved. Rice and cocoa, however, have been dull,
and only limited transactions have been recorded
in saltpetre. Tallow has been in more request for
both present and forward delivery.
A large amount of business was reported in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and the late
advance was fully maintained. The sales were
25,000 bales.

The demand for discount accommodation is still
exceedingly moderate, and the quotations, although
not lower, still tend downwards.
Rather less animation has been perceptiblein
the market for Public Securities to-day, but the
Funds have been firmly maintained, Consols being
91; 1 for transfer, and 911 for the account. The
continuance of favourable weather for the harvest
and the expectation of cheaper money are the prin-
cipal causes of the prevailini, buoyancy. The New

New 2k per Cents. at 75.1, t, Exchequer Bills,

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
moderate, and consisted chiefly of the new crop. For new
qualities the demand was steady, at Monday's decline in
the quotations; but old samples were very unsaleable.
With foreign wheat, we were fairly, though not to say
extensively, supplied. Importers, generally, were firm in
their demands, and prices were supported for all good and
fine qualities.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at full
currencies.

Barley changed hands heavily, at the late decline in its
value. •

In malt, a limited business was transacted, on former
terms.

The oat trade was firm, and late rates were quite main-
tained. Large imports are now taking place from
Archangel.
The supply of beans was limited, and the demand for
them ruled steaay, at full prices.
Peas were a slow sale, yet no further change took place
in the quotations.

In flour rather more business was doing, at the late
quotations.
