ii°N-ET MARKET AND! CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The general inquiry for money has been stimu-
lated by the payments to the Indian Loan and the
liquidation of the Consol account ; the rates, conse-
(blll.,?atlY, exhibit increased firmness, and very few
uls are now negotiated under the Bank of Eng-
land minimum. The supplies being plentiful, how-
ever, the requirements of the public are met with-
out difficulty, and any immediate advance in the
Charge for accommodation is scarcely anticipated.
::he tendency is, nevertheless, in that direction,
_nd if the recent efflux of gold from the
bbility of national
t
establishment had continued, the prc-
an alteration might have been
.discussed. The late arrivals of specie, however,
have led to some accumulation of bullion, several
additions to the reserve having been made during
the Past week. About £64,000 were sent in yester-
d
ay, and there is a sufficient supply of American
geld in the market to satisfy immediate wants. Large
quantities are being forwarded from the United
States, although the exchange at New York has
lately declined.
Accounts from Liverpool report that in the Cotton
Market yesterday business was less active, and
prices
were without any material alteration. The
sales only amounted to 5,000 bales. The Railway
Share Market closed heavily with a downward
tendency in values.
The advices from New York report increased
activityo in the Stock Market, where a large amount
f business was daily transacted. The exchange on
alt gland was dull, at 110 to 1101. There was no
first-class in the money market, and the rate for
paper remained at 7 per mt.
The market for English Securities to-day has
Presented a steady appearance, but business has con-
tinued very dull, owing to the progress of the
arrangementse for the liquidation of the account.
