3201 V EY MARKET AND CITY NEPV.S.

CITY, Two o'CLocx

There is very little alteration to notice in con-
iciction with the money market. The demand in
most quarters continues very quiet, and the rates
remain without variation. The tendency is cer-
tainly not in an upward direction, although
it was generally expected last week that
the Bank minimum quotation would have
been carried to 3 per cent., owing to the
sudden demand which arose for accommodation.
It appears, however, that many persons hastened
to obtain assistance, under the impression that if
they waited a few days, higher terms would bo en-
forced ; and the consequence is that the inquiry has
sensibly abated, and the market again presents a
quiet appearance.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon exhi-
bited an advance in the ratio on Amsterdam, the
quotation for Hamburg, however, was rather lower.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England yesterday. The £llB,OOO by the South-
ampton, and the £90,000 by the African, however,
have been taken for the Continent.
In the Liverpool cotton market yesterday a
moderate business was transacted, and 6,000 bales
Were sold, at previous rates. The railway share
Market closed with a more animated appearance,
and prices were again rather higher.
In the Foreign and Colonial produce markets
business continues rather restricted ; purchasers
Merely operate for immediate wants, but prices
are generally well maintained. Sugar is dull,
and a decline of 6d. per cwt. is reported. Rum
and cocoa are steady, and plantation Ceylon coffee
is in good demand at full rates. Tea is quiet, and
for rice there is little inquiry at previous quotations.
Saltpetre is in increased demand at former rates;
and in tallow there is no alteration of importance.
The sales of sugar and coffee now progressing are
not very extensive, but a rather large quantity of
spices is being disposed of by auction.
The market for Public securities closed yesterday
With a buoyant appearance, Consols being 952,
but this morning diminished firmness has been
recorded, the quotations having receded to 951 for
Money and account. This unfavourable change is
Mainly attributed to speculative rates, the effect of
Which is seen in a decline of about 1 per cent.
The bonafide operations have included a purchase
of £5OOO Reduced Annuities for the Savings
Banks. The New Shares are steady at 951 96, the
Reduced Annuities at 951 Exchequer Bills at
26 premium, and Long Annuities at 11-16. Indian
Loan Debenture (1858) have advanced to 951, and
the Bonds to 9 discount.
Business in- the Foreign Stock Market continues
Moderately active, and prices are flatter. Turkish
6 per Cents. are 811 to 821 ; ditto New 72 to 73 ;
and the 4 per Cents. have advanced to 1021;
Buenos Ayres Deferred to 181; Dutch 21 per
Cents, to 651- 9 ; Venezuelan New 24 per Cents. to
281 2; Spanish 3 per Cents. are steady at 441 ;
ditto Deferred is firm at 33, and the Passive at
911.:; Mexican remains at 2016
Subscription lists have been opened by Messrs.
Raphael and Sons, and by Messrs. Raatte, at Am-
sterdam, for the New Russian Loan.
The Russian Loan is quoted 1 1 premium, and
the Indian ditto 98 to 981.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been limited. In some instances, however, prices
Show rather more firmness. Bristol and Exeter
have improved 15s. ; Great Western and North
Eastern (York), ss. ; and North Western, :11. ;
South Western, Midland, and North Eastern (Ber-
wick), declined 55., and Great Northern, 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little
variation. Lombardo-Venetian old shares have
declined to 101, and the new to 108 ; East Indian
heavy at 100; Grand' Trunk of Canada, 341 35:;
and Great Indian Peninsula, at 971.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares are
a Shade flatter. Bank of Australasia have declined
10s. ; Oriental Bank, Ottoman Bank, and Union of
London, realise about former rates.
In the Miscellaneous Share Market Crystal Pa-
lace are strong at 19, and London Discount Com-
pany at 31.
