MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY Two O'CLOCK.

There is no diminution in the easiness recently
experienced in the money market, which, on the
contrary, continues to show rather a downward
tendency, and it is thought that the Directors of
the Bank of England, at their meeting to-morrow,
will modify their regulations. A reduction in the
minimum to 3 per cent. is considered probable, and
the mercantile community are no doubt lessening
their discount operations in consequence, since the
movement if it should be adopted, will probably
create even greater easiness than is already expe-
rienced.

At the Bank of England yesterday there were no
bullion operations of public importance.
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon
were in most instances rather lower.

Gold is now about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris, and 2-10ths higher here
than in Hamburg.

Only a very small amount of business was tran-
sacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday,
and prices exhibited no change of importance. The
sales were about 3,000 bales.

On the 19th inst., the final instalment of 20 per
cent. is due on the East Indian loan.

The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway
of Canada for the week ending the 27th ultimo,
amounted to £12,109 against £11,397 in 1860, and
on the Grand Trunk Railway for the week ended
the 19th Oct. to £19,851, or £3,182 more than in
the corresponding period of last year.
The market for Public Securities this morning
has been steady, but without animation, as usual
during the settlement of the monthly account.
Consols have been maintained at 931 for transfer,
and 93+ for the sth pros. The transactions for
investments are still conducted on a very limited
scale. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady
at 91-Z- ; Exchequer Bills, June, at 17s. prem. ;
Bank Stock is at 230 ; India 5 per Cent. Loan re-
mains at 105 / ; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is

105.

The dealings in the Foreign Market have been
rather active, and prices tended upwards. Turkish

can have improved to 274 and .281, and are now
27f ; Sardinian to 821 1 ; Dutch to 641, ; ditto 4
per Cents. to 994 100. Buenos Ayres remain at
901, but Venezuelan have receded to 22.
_

In the railway share market the operations have
been restricted; prices, however, in some instances,
have shown more firmness. Great Western, Lan-
cashire, and Yorkshire, Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln, North Bristol and North-Easterns have
improved 65., while Caledonians declined ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remained with-
out any material change. South Austrian and

Meuse, fil; Great Luxembourg, 99 ; East Indian,
103 to 1031, and Great Indian Peninsula, 100-i.
