MONEY MARKET AND CITY B_EIVS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Owing to the shipments of gold still made to the
United States, and the expected transmission of
silver in large quantities to India, the opinion
prevails in some quarters that increased complica-
tions may arise in the money market. At the
present moment, however, the tendency appears
rather favourable, owing to the limited inquiry
for accommodation on commercial account, which
has induced the banks and discount houses to
negociate choice descriptions of bills on rather
easier terms.

About £20,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of
England yesterday.
Five vessels have arrived from Australia with an
aggregate of £254,851 —viz ~ Lincolnshire, £53,038;
Champion of the Seas, £37,000 ; Moravian, £9,793 ;
the Clutha, £95,020 ; and the Essex, £60,000.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday,
business continued inactive, and prices exhibited
a further decline. The sales were about 4,000
bales.

The Bank of England Directors, at their weekly
Meeting to-day, did not find it necessary to make
any alteration in their discount regulations.
The half-yearly meeting of the Submarine Tele-
graph Company has just been held, when the report
was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum was declared for the last six
Months.

A heavy tone pervades the English Stock Mar-
ket, owing to the depression on the Paris Bourse,
the state of the New York Exchange, and the
general condition of monetary affairs. Sales have
been effected on speculative account, and Consols
are 911 4 for money, and 91a / for the ith proximo.
The New Threes and the Reduced have receded to
911 ; India 6 per Cent. Loan is 99/ 100; ditto
New Loan Scrip, 100$; and Exchequer Bills are
'ls. to 2s. dis.

Continued quietude pervades the Foreign Stock
Market, and prices generally are lower. Turkish
6 per Cents. are 691 to 70 ; ditto 1858, have re-
ceded to 54; to 54t ; ditto 4 per Cents., to 99,t, ;
Mexican, to 23i ; and Portuguese, to 46. Spanish
are firm at 481 ; but the Certificates are heavy at 6.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under :

These returns show a continued steady improve-
ment upon those of the like period of the previous
year, notwithstanding the general dullness of trade
in the manufacturing districts. On the Great
Western there is an increase of £1,578, the North
Western of £1,540, the South Western of £1,550,
the Brighton of £1,213, the Midlaild of £1,302, the

sion has prevailed, and the decline in most in-
stances has amounted to about 1 to 1 per cent.

Lancashire and Yorkshire, South Western, and
