MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:
There is no new feature in the money market, an
Wave demand existing at 6 per cent.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £12.90,100, and the exports £291,100.
The following remarks upon the Budget are from
Messrs. J. Travers and Son's circular :—The fact
of the New Zealand war having been brought to a
close, coupled with the improved prospects of the
maintenance of peace in Europe, have, during the
past fortnight, sezrengthened the expectation of the
Chancellor of the Excheque: being able to propose
some reduction of taxation, in which case, in con-
sequence of his distinct promise last year, the sugar
question cannot fail to be prominently treated.
With regard to the maintenance of the
present discriminative duties, nothing has
transpired since the free trade side of the con-
test received the fresh impulse imparted
to it by the course adopted by the alarmed protec-
tionists at the recent meeting at the London Tavern.
In relation to the expediency of ad valorem duties,
apart from the question of any incidental influence
they may have in conferring protection as in the
present case, it will be a curious consideration for
Parliament, that. should Mr. Gladstone resolve to
maintain them in their application to sugar,.he
Will be bound, if he wishes our fiscal system to
have any appearance of consistency, to apply them
in the instance of tea, fruit, wine, tobacco, and all
the other articles that embrace an immense variety
of qualities, and are at present charged with an
uniform rate.

Two o'CLocK.

At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr.
Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Itentes were
66f. 10e.—Firm,
There has been a very small amount of business
transacted in the Stock Exchange, to-day, and the
attendance of the members has been very much
curtailed. The Funds have not varied, and Consols

account. The New Threes are 891 a ; the Reduced,

In the Railway Share Market the operations
have been very restricted ; the few bargains re-
ported, however, show rather less firmness as re-
gards prices. Great Western and North Western
have receded 55., and Great Eastern 10s. ; while
Mancliester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and Midland
have each improved ss.
