HONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The return from the Bank of England, com-
pleted to the ith inst., is of a satisfactory character,
but there is little variation of importance to notico
in the various items. The bullion has been slightly
diminished, and the reserve of notes shows a small in-
crease. The other securities, owing to the payment
of the bills due on the 4th of the month have slightly
diminished. The public deposits are rather smaller,
but there is about a similar addition to the private
balances. The various items will be seen in the
subjoined table :

The market for English Securities to-day has
been rather fiat, but the decline bas been limited to
* per cent., Consols being 951 for for the 18th pro'.
This movement has no doubt been produced by a
few calls in realisation of profits, and a slight de-

Cline in the French Funds, but the alteration is of
very little importance. The transfer books being
Closed, the market is now left to the influence
of the speculative dealings, and prices are easily
effected by sales or purchases. The New 3 per
