MONEY MARKET .4 ND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return completed to the
10th of July, shows some important changes. The
Stock of bullion has been diminished by considerably
over a quarter of a million sterling, owing to the
circulation of coin in the provinces, and the remit-
tances of gold to America. The reserve of notes
has been lessened to about a like amount. The
public deposits through the payment of the half-
yearly dividend have been reduced by about four
millions sterling, and there is consequently a large
addition to the private balances. In the Other
Securities a decrease of about a million and a half
is apparent, owing to the repayment of loans upon
stock, and in the Government Securities there is
also a considerable decrease. The other items of

the balance-sheet, and the changes they present,
are shown in the subjoined table :

Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yester-
day was not so active, but prices were unaltered.
The sales were 10,000 bales.

There is a steady demand for money, and the
market shows no change of importance.
More activity has prevailed in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets during the last day
or two. Tea has been in moderate demand, at
previous rates. Sugars have been largely dealt in
at enhanced prices. Coffee has also been in fair
request, and the finer qualities have experienced
a slight advance. Rice, fruit, and spices have been
dull, and in saltpetre and tallow only moderate
dealings have been entered into, P.Y.C. on the
spot having declined to 50s. The next public
sales of foreign and colonial wool will commence
on Thursday next; the quantity already arrived
amounts to 81,622 bales, a considerable proportion
of which is from Sydney and Port Philip.
The minimum for the new Indian Loan has been
axed at 984. The applications have been exces-
sive. The Scrip is quoted 994 a.

The market for Public Securities opened
buoyantly, and a further rise of I per cent. took
place, but a reaction has since occurred, Consols
being 901 for money, and 901 1 for account. The
New Threes and the Reduced have improved to
891 8, and Long Annuities are steady at 15
11- 16ths.

Foreign Securities exhibit rather more buoyancy
and a fair amount of business has been transacted.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 761 ; ditto 1858, 611 4 ;
Mexican have improved to 221 9 ; Portuguese to
469 ; and Buenos Ayres to 88 ; Dutch 29 per

FIRE AT CAMDEN-TOWN.—Last evening a fire
broke out in the workshop of Mr. Stubbs, pianoforte-maker,
In Glocester-street, Camden-town, where there was a large
stock of pianos and furniture. It spread rapidly into the
adjoining shop, occupied by Mr. Dunn, a greengrocer. In
a quarter of an hour both houses were in flames. The
engine of the parish and six engines belonging to the Lon-
don Brigade were soon in attendance, but, in the absence of
a tur.ncock, not a drop of water was to be had for some time,
and indeed not until Martin, a fireman, succeeded in draw-
lag the plugs. The fire was' only extinguished when both
the warehouses and shops just mentioned had been entirely
consumed, with all the stock they contained. The loss,
701" is very considerable, falls on the Sun and Guardian
