      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , September 14 , 1855 . CoNSOMfar . money which , left oflfi on Saturday 908 to f , were first ' quoted on Monday ( on the news of the -capture of . " the Malakhoff by our allies ) at 91 ; but later in the day they deellnedto 903 to i for money , 904 to 91 for 12 th of October , account , and continued at the same quotations up to the nominal closing of the Stock Exchange after official hours ; however , rumours of further and more decisive successes having obtained footing , business was done at 91 to 91 $ for the account- But , contrary to the anticipations of those not in the market , the reality of the long-expected fall of Sebastopol , confirmed on that evening , did not , beyond a temporary rise on Tuesday , affect the funds , the closing price on that day being 91 $ to i for account , and 91 to 914 for money . The ; quotations for the following day ruling still lower , 901 to f-for money , 905 to § for account . Money still continues in demand , and the continued drain upon the Bank for gold early in the weekyied to fears with some that even a further rise in the rate of discount would be experienced in the ensuing week 4 these , apprehensions were realised sooner than expected ,, for yesterday the Bank raised its rate from 4 to 4 j } per cent , and by some a further and immediate rise from 44 to 5 percent , is looked for = It has been said that sales have been effected by the Bank of England , and the example followed by some of the joint stock banks , which are said to have supplied the market with no inconsiderable amount of stock . Money displays equal activity outside the house as in the Stock Exchange ; especially for advances to defray second instalment loix new Turkish 4 per cents . Although the step taken by the Bank took many by surprise , its effect upon the markets has been very trifling , the absence of so many dealers and speculators from town tending in a . great-measure to check fluctuations in the markets . ¦ Foreign securities arc heavy and but little affected in price . Spanish are firm ; American , markets dull . The receipts of the Antwerp and Rotterdam Company for the week closing last Sunday , were , from passengers 820 / ., and from goods 4362-, total , 12562 . ; this increase may be traced to the growth of the goods traffic , which is rapidly improving and developing .
