MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'C'lock.—Some vague reports are current that
the French loan, or perhaps the terms upon which it
is to be bid for, have been quietly arranged betwixt
a company of capitalists in Paris and the finance
minister, supported by the Bank of France. The
latter, it is said, is not only to take a
million sterling on its own amount, but to assist
the other parties, on occasion, with advances on the
I scrip and liberal discounts. Whatever foundation
there may be for this supposed pre-arrangement, it
must be satisfactory to learn that, as also asserted, no
English capitalist house will take part in the opera-
tion. The terms indicated are the same as have for-
merly been published, viz., 75 for 100 Three per
Cent. Stock, with a commission besides, the amount'
of which is held in reserve between the parties.
It is held to be not at all probable that there will be I
more than one serious list of bidders, and under the
present circumstances of the money market in Paris I
and elsewhere, and still more here, those capitalists
must be bold men who shall venture to embark in I
such an operation.
Our funds show some improvement this morning,
and Console advanced to 82 to; for money, and 821
to 1 for time. These quotations were maintained for
some time, when the market became less firm, and
Consols have been sellers at 821 for time. They
are now again 821 to I. Bank Stock is
184 to 186. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are 82k to f,. Furshesisee Bills have rea-
lised 14s. to 19s. premium. For present transfer I
Consols are 82 to 1. They have been 813.
The foreign securities have been entirely neglected.
Chilian Three per Cents. are 481, and Grenada
Deferred, 34. Belgian Foor-and-a-llslf per Cents.
are 88, ex div. Spanish Three per Cents. have been
261 to 27 nominally ; and Mexican, 151 to 161.
The meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Rickards,
Little, and Co., held at their counting-house, has just
concluded. It lasted less than half-an-hour, and was
less like a meeting of creditors than of friends. Mr.
llodgson was in the chair. Resolutions were passed
for carrying on the estate under inspection ; Messrs.
Barnett, Howe, Cummings, and I'rinsep, tho in-
spectors.
We have a report, which, appearing to come from
the Stock Exchange, must be received with caution, of
applications to the Bank for assistance from some
quarter of note. Of course applications are made to
the Bank every day, in the most ordinary times, for
loans and discounts.

RAILWAYS.—The market is very quiet to-day,
and little doing in shares. There is no feature of
importance.
