CITY, Two o'CLoex.
There is very little alteration in the general state
of the money market, but the inquiry for commer-
cial purposes has been slightly diminished.
The bullion operations at the Bank of England
yesterday comprised the influx of £61,000 in gold
and the withdrawal of 20,000 sovereigns.
The amount of specie taken out by the Etna,
vrhich left yesterday for New York, was £236,119.
• Th e Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday presented
a dull appearance, and the sales only amounted to
about 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 were for export
and on speculation, but prices were unchanged.
The directors of the Bank of England have not
found it necessary at their meeting to-day to
Modify their discount regulations.
Continued dullness has pervaded the market for
Public Securities to-day, and the few transactions
recorded for transfer and on speculative account
have not caused any movement of importance in
the quotations. Consols have been 891 I for money,
and 901 1 for the 10 th prox. ; but the market at the
last moment has assumed a flatter appearance, the
quotations having receded to 90 901 for the account,
and the New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced Annui-
ties remain at 891 894. Bank Stock is steady at
230 to 231, and the June Exchequer Bills heavy at
33. prem:, and India Bonds realise 18s. dis.
At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of the
Ifni' and East Riding Bank (Messrs. T. and R.
Raikes and Co.), the report submitted by Mr. Jay,
of the firm of Quilter and Co., stated the liabilities
at £89,025, and the assets at £22,137, showing a
probable dividend of about ss. in the pound, pro-
vided the concern be kept out of bankruptcy, The
bank was established in the last century, and within
the past 35 years about £300,000 of property be-
queathed by Mr. R. Raikes, the father of the pre-
sent partners, has been lost by bad debts, the senior
Partner having in 1848 obtained the consent of his
eldest son to disentail the landed portion. A com-
lnittee of inspection was unanimously appointed to
wind up the estate under the private arrangement
clauses.
`Moderate transactions have taken place in
Foreign Stocks. Mexican are steady at 234 y ;
Russian 5 per Cents. heavy at 103 ; and Pied-
Montese 5 per Cents. at 734. Turkish 6 per Cents.
realise 721, and the Loan of 1858 581. The 4 per
