MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Great firmness still continues to be the charm,-
teristio of the discount market, though the appli-
cations for accommodation have been now mate-
rially diminished. The enquiry latterly became
active through the provision that traders had had
to make for liquidating their bills, which were
du3 at the end of the year, as well as on the 4th,
and these arrangements having been concluded the
rates are now kept up because there is an idea very
generally entertained that in addition to the require-
ments of tha Bank of France, sovereigns will be de-
spatched to the Brazils. The rate prices for the
best three months' bills remain at 61, and 61 per
cent.

About £3,000 in bar gold was taken into the
Bank yesterday.
The Pera, which left yesterday with the India
and China mails, conveyed £80,078 in specie.

The Canada has arrived from America with
£27,128.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Friday next a special settling day in the
shares of the National Bank of Liverpool (new), to
be marked in the official lists, and the Lundy
Granite Company and the Star and Garter Hotel
Company,
to be marked in the twice a week list
Only.

Arrangements are in progress for the establish-
ment of a new line of steamships between Liverpool
and Montreal, where a company has been formed
for the purpose, with a capital of £500,000 sterling.
There is to be a weekly communication wi:h Liver-
pool, and a fortnightly or monthly service with
London. The success of the Glasgow and Mnntrattl
lines, and the requirements of trade, are stated to
justify the introduction of the project.
A prospectus has been issued of the Panultiillo
(Chilian) Copper Company,' with a capital of
£200,000, in shares of £4. The object is to purchase
and work a well-known copper mine about 43 miles
from the port of Coquimbo, with which it will soon
be placed in connexion by railway. The ores are
of low percentage, but in greater available quantity
than at any other mins in the world. The price to
be paid for the property, including seven furnaces,
tramways, and plant, is £120,000, of which
£40,000 is to be in shares and £BO,OOO in cash.

At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the share-
holders of the London Dock Company, an increased
dividend of 11, or £1 15s, per cent. for the past six
months was ordered to be paid.

Two o'CLocK.

At the Paris Bourse this morning (according to
Mr. Reuter's telegram) the Three per Cent. Rentes
were quoted at 66f. 70c. Rather firm.

The Market to-day for the English Funds has
presented a rather active appearance. The improve-
ment of about percent. yesterday induced a num-
ber of operators to come forward and effect sales,
which at one time sent Consols down f, but they
again show a slight recovery, and the quotations
are 91 1 for money and the 7th inst., and 911 1

the Reduced Annuities are 901 911; Exchequer
