RONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Bank of England return, completed to the
26th inst., is of a rather satisfactory character. The
bullion has been increased by about a quarter of
a million sterling, owing to the receipts from
Australia. The reserve of notes has also been
largely augmented. The other securities, how-
ever, show a large addition, owing to the pre-
parations made for the half-yearly payments at
this season, and the advances which have been
obtained on stock. In the Government Securities
there is also a slight increase. The other items of
the balance-sheet, and the changes they present,
are shown in the subjoined table :

A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of 1881oc0cl
Messrs. Alexiadi, Detta, and Co., Greek merchants, 25
who suspended last week with direct liabilities sto2
amounting to £84,447, and assets representing
£99,991, exclusive of the private properties of the it
partners in Turkey and elsewhere. After some 8,3t1c()
discussion, it was resolved that the firm should stool
continue to wind up the estate for the general 21
2,
benefit of all parties concerned. 1C
During the last few days there has been only a 100
moderate amount of business transacted in the 2,

markets for foreign and colonial produce. Tea, at setooccii
public sale, barely sustained former rates, and sstoocel
sugar, coffee, and spices have remained at about
Previous values. Rice has been inactive, and rtgcl
rather cheaper, while a moderate business has been
stzosci
recorded in saltpetre and tallow, at late quotations. stool
Notwithstanding the provision that will have to eV
be made for the payments due at the end of the mil
mouth, the demand for money continues moderate. stoc,
The quotations, however, although presenting no
change of importance, are a shade firmer.
There were no bullion operations of importance :tto°c,
at the Bank of England yesterday. stool

The North Briton, which sailed for Quebec yes- 10

terday, conveyed £49,200. 25
Rather more firmness was again apparent in the :took
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and the sales stock
reached 12,000 bales, 4,000 of which were for ex 25
portation and on speculation. 25
The English Stock market to-day has been un- stool
favourably influenced by some sales on speculative St2sl
account, as well as for transfer, but the business 5(!
recorded is not extensive. Consols are 891 Fr for 1221
money, and 89,1 for the account. The New Three 'V
per Cents. realise 881 1-, and the Reduced An- stiosBl
nuities, 88-1- -a. The 5 per Cent. India Loan con- 20
tinned heavy at 98a ; and India Bonds at 18s. to 1;
14s. discount; Exchequer Bills, March, are flat at 82(
10s. discount, and the June ditto at par to 3s. dis. toe
Business in the Foreign Stock Market has con- :ttgej
tinued of a limited character, with little change of eta
importance to record in rates. Old Turkish 6 per
Cents. brought 711 72 ; and Loan of 1858, 56:1 571 ;
Mexican Stock has declined to 221- ; Sardinian
realise 78i ; and Brazilian 41 per Cents. 861.
Considerable depression has prevailed in the
Railway Share Market, and the small business
transacted has resulted in a decline in most instances
of about Ito -I per cent. Great Northerns, Mid- s'
lands, Great Westerns, and South Easterns have rt,
receded ss. ; Bristol and Exeter, 10s. ; and Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. 2
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings prices Btlo'
have also shown a downward movement ; Great stosto

Luxembourg declined 55.; Grand Trunk of Canada
£1; Great Western of Canada ss. ,
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have stst
continued very dull, and prices are nominally un- 81
altered.
