MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

A quiet tons still prevails in the discount market,
where the terms for accommodation continue to range
freely per cent. below the Bank of England mini-
mum quotation. The immediate inquiry for money
is moderate, but a temporary impulse will no doubt
be given to business by the preparations which
will soon have to be made for the liquidation of
commercial accounts on the 6th prox.
An average amount of business was reported in
the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices
were steadily maintained. The sales were about
8,000 bales.

A further sum of about £90,000 in gold was sent
into the Bank of England yesterday.
The Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon,
exhibited a slight decline in the rates on Antwerp,
Brussels, Vienna, and Trieste.

Gold is now about 4-10ths dearer here than in
Paris, and 7-10ths higher than in Hamburgh.
A call of £25 per share, amounting to £250,000,
becomes due on Friday on the last East Indian 5
per Cent. Railway Debentures.
The Stock Exchange Markets are very dull, and
the City, as usual on Derby day, presents the
appearance of a partial holiday. A small amount
of business is reported in Consols, which
are now quoted 911 for money, and 911
to 911 for the account, being heavy. The
New Threes and the Reduced are steady at
89-4 I; Efchequer Bills at 6s. to 2s. dis.; Bank
Stock is firm at 234; and India 5 per Cent. Loan
remains at 1014 I.

The dealings in the Foreign Stock Market have
been of a moderate character, but prices, in some
instances, have shown more firmness. Turkish 6
per Cents. are 71 to 711; ditto, 1868, 551 6t;
Mexican remain at 221; Spanish have improved to
511 ; and Russian 41 per Cents. to 911; Greek
Bonds are marked 8; and Buenos Ayres 6 per
Cents. 901.

In the Railway Share Narket the dealings have
been on an extremely limited scale, in consequence
of the absence of most of the dealers at Epsom, and
prices generally have not varied to any extent.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
continue very dull, without material alteration in
values.
