ITONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE o'cK
The discount market this morning hasCL beo .en in
somewhat of a perturbed state, owing to the non•
delivery at the usual hour of the letters from the
northern towns. The delay originated through
some accident, and as discounters did not know
what transactions they might be called upon to
undertake great reluctance was shown to negotiate
securities. The mercantile public were naturally
anxious to provide themselves with plenty of ac-
commodation, in case higher rates should be asked,
and the brokers could not be prevailed upon to
negotiate the best short-dated paper at less than 9
per cent.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been very little
animation. The operations in tea have been on
the most limited scale, while transactions in sugar,
coffee, and rice have been restricted to immediate
home requirements, at rather lower rates. In tallow
however, there have been moderate transactions, at
steady quotations, for both present and forward,
delivery.
A further sum of £26,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The Syria, which left this morning for Bombay,
took out £19,300 in gold, and £56,925 in silver;
making together £76,225.
A call of £2 per share has been made by the
directors of the Egyptian Cimmercial and Trading
Company.
The directors of the London and Northern Bank
have made a call of £5 per share, with a view of
carrying out the pending arrangements for the
transfer of the business of the Leeds Banking Com-
pany to the London and Northern Bank. The paid.
up capital of the London and Northern Bank will
thus be increased to £175,000.

Two O'CLOCK.
At the half yearly meeting tosday of the Finan•
cial Discount Company a dividend of 5 per cent. for
the past six months, being equal to 10 per cent. per
annum, was declared.

The non-confirmation of rumours respecting more
failures assisted to impart a firmer tone to the Eng-
lish Stock market, and for a short time a little
buoyancy
was perceptible. The improvement,
however, was of short duration, and Consols are
again 87i 88 for money, and 888 for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 86k a ;
Exchequer Bills for March, 14s to 12s die.; India
S per Cents., 1034 104 ; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 100 ;

More buoyant appearance, bat a partial relapse has

Business in the Railway Share Market has not
been very active, although prices in several instances
have slightly improved. Midland have advanced
10s, North Western 108, Lancashire and Yorkshire
10s, and Great Western 10s ; Great Eastern, how-
ever, have receded ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines continue without
Material change.
For Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has
been a moderate inquiry. Alliance have advanced
to 45 6; Imperial to 32 3 ; Metropolitan and Pro-
vincial to 19; Imperial Mercantile Credit to 7k; and
London Financial to 21k. Credit Fonder and
Alobilier of England are quoted 221 prem. ; and
