MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL iNTELLIGENtIit, TwiLyn o'CLowic. The Money Market has closed steadily, with a slight increase of business. At the Bank of Englind yesterday there were no bullion operations of importance. The amount reported to have arrived by the Mas silia, it appears, is £20,000, instead of £5,000, as at first state]. The specie movement during the past week has been on an extremely limited scale. The imports have only amounted to about £80,604, including £45,000 from New York by the Hibernia, £10,404 from the West Coast of Africa by the Maudengo, £20,000 from Alexandria by the Dlassilia, and about £5,000 in silver from the Continent. The exports have been to the extent of £143,772, viz., £lO,OOO in gold to St. Helena, by the Roman ; and there have been remittances to the Continent through private sources estimated at. £133,762. The traffic receipts of the East Indian Railway Company for the week ending 13th January last, upon 1,131 miles open, were £42,333 ; and in the corresponding period of last year, upon. 1,129 miles open, they were £39,661. Her Majesty's Customs have granted a first-class sufferance to the new warehouses at Lucas and Spencer's Wharf, Bermondsey Wall. Vice-Chancellor Malins has appointed Mr. James Cooper, of the firm of Johnstone, Cooper, Wintle, and Evans, provisional official liquidator of the Marseilles Extension Railway and Laud Company (Limited). Payment of the half-year's interest on the At lantic and St. Lawrence shares due on the 15th inst. has been announced by the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. It was announced yesterday that the bills of Mr. Robert Tooth, in the Australian trade, had been returned. The liabilities are stated to be about £50,000, and a favourable liquidation is antici pated. The failure is attributed to his connection with the London and Colonial Company, which is now being wound up. Another failure has occurred at Lloyds. Mr. Robert Dewar, underwriter and insurance broker, has been obliged to seek the indulgence of his cre ditors, and has placed his affairs in the hands of Messrs. Nichols and Leatherdale, accountants. A report bas been issued by the liquidator of the Phosphate of Lime Company, together with a state ment of accounts to the 31st December last, and a dividend has been declared at the rate of 10 per cent. on the working of the last six mouths. This Company has been reconstituted as the Sombrero Phosphate Company (Limited), with a capital of £lOO,OOO, in shares of £lO each fully paid up, and the directors announce their intention of paying quarterly dividends, the first of which will be at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and be due April next. TWO O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes opened at 69f. 95c. Heavy—inanimate. _ _ More firmness has been apparent to-day in the market for Consols, the quotations being 901 for transfer, and 904 for the April. The account price, it will be observed, is lower than it was yesterday owing to the abundance of money and the improbability of any increase in the rates of discount.

Turkish 5 per Cents. have improved to 29,--1 30 ; Italian a, to 63 i ; Spanish Passive a, to 224 -a ; and the Danubian Loan a, to 111 dis. ; but the Chilian Scrip has declined a, to 14 a dis. ; while Mexican remain firm at 174- ; Greek at 16 4 ; Spanish Certificates at 141 a ; and Russian Scrip at 2i I Prem. In the. Railway Share Market the dealings have been to a fair extent, and in a few instances prices show more firmness. Great Eastern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South-Eastern, have each Improved I, Great Northern and Brighton each and Great Western 1. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without Material change in values. American Securities have slightly improved. Erie shares have advanced 4, to 361 4 ; Illinois 1, to 77i 78 ; and United States 5-20 Bonds to 74i I. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady, at 30 31; and the Consolidated Mort- Cage Bonds have advanced 1, to 234 241. Bank Shares are very dull. Chartered Mercantile of India, London, and China have declined to 32, and London and County to 35 ; while Bank of Australasia have improved to 68i 69g. Miscellaneous and Finance Shares remain with out much variation. Anglo-American Telegraph being dealt in at 15 15k ; Credit Foncier of Eng land, 2 13-16ths 3 ; Imperial Land Company of Marseilles, 10i ; and National Discount Company, at 124. MINING MARKET.

The following are the principal parts of the report of the directors of this company to be submitted to the tenth ordinary annual meeting of the share holders, to be held at the London Tavern on Tues day next:— " The directors have to report that the two sub marine cables so succe ss f u lly laid to America during last summer remain in perfect order, having con tinued to work in the most efficient manner, at good speed, and without the least interruption since they w ere completed. " The land lines, chiefly on the American side, have been frequently interrupted ; they are now, however, in much better condition, and as the spring and summer advance they will be less liable to injury from weather, and more easily repaired if injured. " The New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, who own the lines from the terminus of the Atlantic cable to Port Hood, are actively engaged in erecting a second wire between those points, and with a further view to secure in dependent through communication they have con tracted for a submarine crble to be laid from Pla centia, Newfoundland, to Sidney, Cape Breton, on the other side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, thus providing an alternative route, giving in all three wires for business in case of interruption. " On the Ist of November last, the directors, in concurrence with the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, reduced the price of admission from £2O to £lO for each message of 20 words, and the revenue receipts under the reduced tariff compare favourably with those enjoyed under the higher charge. " The question of a still further reduction of charges is still under discussion. " The actual gross receipts from the working of the cables from the opening of the communication with America on the 28th of July last to the present date have averaged £Bl3 per day including Sundays. "At this rate of revenue, after deducting the charges of other companies, working expenses, in terest on bonds, and dividend to the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, there should remain at the end of the financial year a surplus in favour of the Atlantic Telegraph Company of about £35,000 ; but as the revenue account cannot be made up until the Anglo-American Telegraph Company have first secured their profit for the year, amounting to £125,000, the board have not been able to present any detailed statement of earnings to the present meeting. " The directors while treating of this subject have again to remind the shareholders that unless some previous arrangement can be made, the liabilities at present outstending on capital account will for the time being absorb the whole of any balance that may remain to the credit of revenue. " The shareholders have already been informed by circular of the unsuccessful attempts of the board to obtain a renewal for a term of the mortgages held by the contractors and now falling due, up to a total of £lOO,OOO. "These mortgage debentures bear on the face of them an annual interest of 5 per cent., but the directors, in order to make them more acceptable to the purchasers, have undertaken to forego a sum appropriated under the agreement with the Anglo- American Telegraph Company, to the payment of themselves and the office expenses, in order to raise the per eentage of interest to 7i per cent. per an num, at which latter rate, added to the fact of the debentures being in themselves an excellent security, the pirectors have offered them with eonfidence as an eligible investment. t , In addition to these mortgages, the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company have also entered an attachment in the Lord Mayor's Court of London for £19,594 10s. 4d., which has been served upon the Anglo-American Company, re straining the latter from giving up possession of any property of the Atlantic Telegraph Company passing into their hands. " The principal difficulty of the company, how ever, at the present moment consists in placing the balance of overdue debentures not yet disposed of, and this is a matter very much in the hands of the shareholders, upon whom the directors again desire to press the fact that their interests will be much promoted by assisting them to dispose of the re mainder of these securities. The interest on these bonds is a first charge upon all the revenue from the two excellent cables now in perfect working order, and the bondholders have a lien for the principal upon the 1865 cable, as well as against all revenue accruing to the Atlantic Tele graph Company. They will be conveyed by deed of assignment, free of all expense for stamp and fees, to the new holders, and will be accompanied by interest coupons at the rate of 7i per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly on presentation at the offices of the company. In accordance with the authority granted by the shareholders at the extraordinary meeting of Sep tember last, the directors have applied to Parlia ment for further capital and powers, for the purpose of enabling the company to release the revenue from the charges at present payable to the Anglo- American Telegraph Company. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This Day.) The Market opens quiet. Sales probably 6,000 or 7,000 bales. TIIE CLYDE PORTS.—The amount of Customs revenue collected at Glasgow in February was £80,380, as compared with £62,447 in February, 1866, and £60,431 in February, 1865.

Achille Fonld, late Minister of 'Finance, and Adolphe Fould, Deputy, have arrived at Marseilles. The Sold Public of Lyons says :—" The winter quarter, through which we are at present passing, appears to be doing its best to prove worthy of its name. After the eclipse yesterday the snow twice menaced recommencing. To-day also some few flakes may be seen flying about in the air, but without appearing likely to increase. The same weather also prevails in the Saone-et-Loire and in the Cote d'Or. With the exception to the damage done to the early blossom on the trees agriculturists have no reason to complain. The Meuse publishes the subjoined :—" General Chasal arrived at Brussels on Saturday, and was the next day received by the King. The ex-Minister of War had spent some time in Pai is, and was much pleased with the reception given him by the Em peror and high dignitaries of the Empire." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.—FRIDAY. The attendance to-day fell short of yesterday, many of the prefelsionals and others having taken their departure, f!r the weather was very uninviting, and there was not a particulafty promising prospect of sport. The Handicap Plate of 40 sows resulting in a dead heat helped to relieve the dulness of the day. The remaining events do not demand any further notice than the appended details fur nish.
