MONEY KA

AND

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Advises from Liverpool state th At the Cotton
Market on Saturday closed quietly, and prices of
Egyptians were id. dearer, but all other kinds
were unchanged from Friday's currency. .The
sales were 7,000 bales. The Railway Share
Market was quiet, and prices were generally
steady.

fl

The condition of the Money M irket during the
past month is thus described in the Bankers' 4a-
gazing :—There has been little amelioration in the
position of general financial affairs. The relief
afforded by the payment of the dividends and the
arrival of Australian gold has been wholly tem-
porary, and a revived demand has again been ap-
parent, which, it is feared, may eventually lead to
an increase in the rate of discount by the Bank
Directors. The present minimum of 6 per cent. is
comparatively high, as they have augmented tha
terms for advances on stock to 61 per cent. If
the present pressure should continue they will
be obliged to adopt additional restrictions with
reference to the negotiation of mercantile paper.
For the last week it has been expected that such
a movement would be announced, but the gold
withdrawn to supply the requirements of the
Irish banks during the late partial panic having
returned, it has assisted to support the metallic
reserve. As, however, the drain for export
to the Continent has set in in renewed severity
and the remittances from Australia and
America are not at this period extensive, au
apprehension is entertained that not only may
the stock of bullion be further trenched upon,
but that the supplies themselves from these
sources will be purchased and sent to
Paris- Under such circumstances the Directors
cannot follow any other policy, but it is to be
hoped that the inquiry will not be maintained at a
level which will either distress commerce or inter-
fere with the prosperity which it was supposed
would be initiated by peace. The discount houses
find ample employment for the whole of the funds
they can command, but no further alteration has
occurred in the allowance for deposits."
The Discount Market continues vary stringent,
but there is not more than the usual pressure im-
mediately before the 4th of the month. On the
present occasion, however, as frequently before re-
marked, there are other circumstances to augment
the demand, among which thefmost prominent are
the approaching settlement of the Consol account,
and the payment of called-in joint-stock companies'
shares. The full rato of 6 per cent. is charged
for the best bills, while those of a second or
third rate description are not negotiable except on
much higher terms. The brokers and bankers
are finding full employment for all the capital
they can command, but they have not in-
creased their allowance for deposits. There
is now less uneasiness with regard to the course the
Bank Directors will pursue in consequence of the
general complexion of the Bank Return, the receipt
of about 600,0001. in silver, and the expected
arrivals of gold from Australia. The drain of gold
from this country continues, as much as 60,0001.
having been taken from the B ink on Saturday,
and it is expected that further sums will leave
during the current week. Unless steady and ex-
tensive remittances from the Antipodes are received,
therefore, we may yet expect a material diminution
in the metallic reserves of Threadneedle-street ;
but affairs have not assumed such an unfavourable
aspect as to indicate an immediate alteration in
the minimum.

The Ecuatorian Commission of Agency received
a remittance of 1,0001. on Saturday on account of
Ecuatorian dividends.

The English Stock Market is very quiet to•day,
the arrangements connected with the settlement
of the account being now in progress. At pre-
sent, therefore, very few fresh engagements
are entered into, but sales still preponderate.
Consols, for money, have been 93 to 93i and
92 to 93, while for the sth instant they have been
94, 93, and 93i. The March quotation is 93i f.

discount to par.

The bargains in the Foreign Market are exceed-
ingly limited, but the prices are generally firm.
Turkish 6 per Cents, have been 921 to 93 and 931 I,
but the 4 per Cents. are merely nominal. Spanish
New Deferred are 23j I, and the Certificates ar•
flatter, viz., 61 to 6i. Mexican Stock is 21t and
Guatemala Bonds have been 58 ex dividend.

In the Railway Share Market there is but little
change to report in prices. One or two of the
leading lines have shown a slight improvement,
but the variation has not been to any important
extent. Caledonian, Chester and Holyhead, and
East Lancashire advanced about ss. North West-
ern, South-Western, Midland, and Great Northern
fully maintained previous values. There were no
dealings reported in the French lines, but Canada
ruled steady. Grand Trunk of Canada advanced
es., and Great Western of Canada ss.

British Mining Shares have been rather actively
dealt in, and North Frances and Wheal Edward
have realised slightly improved terms. Foreign
Mining Shares are quite at nominal values.
Joint Stock Hank Shares rule dull. Bank of
Egypt are rather firmer, as alsu Oriental Bank.
Miscellaneous Shares have been little inquired
for,
and prices have shown no material variation
from Saturday's quotations.
