MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

ONE O'CLOCK.

The transactions in stocks and shares to-day are
to a fair extent, and the tone generally is rather
firm, owing chiefly to the satisfactory tendency of
the discount market. Consols and the chief British
railways are quoted the same as yesterday,but some of
the bank and financial shares exhibit a further de-
cided rise. Amongst the latter, Credit Foncier and
Mobilier and General Credit are in especial re-
quest, and have advanced 16e. and 10s., respec_
tively. The foreign securities, however, are lower
in a few cases, the chief reduction being in Italian
bonds of 1861.
The supply of money in the discount market
has been further increased to-day, and good three
months' bills are freely taken at 10 per cent., the '
Bank minimum. The charge for six months' Bank
paper is 9i. In the Stock Exchange short loans on
English government securities are obtainable at 8
to 9 per cent.
Amongst the changes in the Bank of France re-
turn are an increase in the bills discounted of
1,427,000/., and a decrease in the coin and bullion
of 224,000/.
Consuls are now quoted ni to with div., for
money, and 861 to g, ex div., for the account
(June 6).
Foreign stocks are rather dull. Italian bonds of
1861 are prominently heavy, and have declined le,
per cent. Mexican have also receded , and Turkish
of 1865, 1. Greek, however, have improved I.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 61i to 62)1 ;
ditto of 1865, 312 to 321 ; Greek, toil to 11 ; Spanish
Passive, 212 to 22 ; ditto Certificates, 142 to 15 ; Ita-
lian of 1861, 39 to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, 6} to
5} dia. ; and Mexican, 162 to 17i.
American securities are steady. 5-20 Bonds are
now quoted 651 to 66.1; Erie Railway shares, 451
to 2 ; and Illinois Central, 7 711 to 78.
International Financial shares are now quoted
2 to 11 dis. ; London Financial, 12 to 11 dis.
General Credit, 2'..; to g dis. ; Imperial Mercantile,
101 to 9i dis. ; Credit Foncier, 21 to 2 dis. ; Ovcrend,

Rentes opened at 64fr., showing a decline of u ler
cent.

The Hamburg exchange having moved in favour
of England, the demand for silver for exportation
thither has diminished, and transactions took place
yesterday in bars at ss. lid. per ounce, being id.
lower than on Wednesday.
The drafts of the Oriental Commercial Bank
(Limited), an undertaking established in 1861 under
another title, were returned yesterday unpaid. The
liabilities reach about 350,0001. It is hoped, how-
ever, that the business will be continued, and a
meeting of the largest shareholders is called for to-
morrow, when they will be asked to pay at once the
recent alla—viz., of 31. on the 41. shares, and of
21. on the 51. shares, although they are not due till
the 11th of July. The National Financial Com-
pany and the Financial Corporation were amal-
gamated some time ago with this company, and its
difficulties are stated to be caused through the non-
payment of 87,0001. lent to the liquidators of the
Financial Corporation to meet the liabilities of that
concern, on the understanding that they would
make a call upon the shareholders, and repay the
amount to-day. The Oriental Commercial Bank
has paid dividends at the rate of 15 per cent. per
annum, and its transactions have been chiefly in
connexion with the Levant.
The drafts of the New Zealand Banking Corpo-
ration have also been returned. This undertaking
was established in 1863, and the paid-up capital is
60,000:. The bank has branches and agencies at
Dunedin and Waipori, and the last dividend de-
clared was at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum.

dated Discount Company (Limited), which, after

At a large meeting of the shareholders of this company,
held this morning, it was unanimously adopted—" That
in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable for the inte-
rests of the shareholders that the directors should continue
the business of the company, and for that purpose be left
unfettered, and that this meeting desires to express its
entire confidence in its chairman, director, and rnauager."
The parties who had taken proceedings in Chancery ex-
pressed their willingness and undertook at once to withdraw
their petitions.
The Manchester Examiner and Times announces
a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Penny and
Co., East India merchants, of Liverpool. It is
mentioned that their liabilities amount to 104,0001.,
against assets of 20,0001., and that the liquidation
will be very much affected by the winding up of
the house of Macindoe, Rogers, and Co., of
Bombay.
A private meeting took place yesterday of some of
the largest shareholders in the London Financial
Association (Limited), when it was resolved to
co-operate actively with the directors, with a view
to meet the immediate engagements of the com-
pany. The immediate consequence of this under-
standing between the board and the shareholders
has been a great rebound in the price of the
shares. _ _ _
