ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The prospect of monetary affairs continues satis-
factory. Notwithstanding that slight symptoms
of activity are occasionally noticeable in the general
discount market, the mercantile classes are un-
doubtedlylooking forward with confidence for easier
rates to prevail within a short period.. The im-
ports of gold continue upon a large scale, and
as the exports are not very considerable, the
greater quantity of the metal finds its way into the
Bank of England. This morning there has been a
rather large inquiry for discounts, but the quota-
tions continue as low as 52 per cent. for the beat
short dated bills.
A further sum of £97,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.

The share list of the Thames Iron Works Ship-
buildinr,Engincering, and Dry Dock Company will
be closed on the 10th inst.
It has been notified that Mr. Frazer Leckie and
Mr. Christopher Deake Beckmann have joined the
board of the Royal Naval and Military Banking
Corporation.

'Die letters of regret to applicants for shares in
the South-Eastern Banking Company were issued
on Saturday, and those of allotment were losted
this evening.

During the last few days there has been a steady
demand for most descriptions of foreign and colo-
nial produce. Sugars have fully sustained their
late advance, while in coffee, rice, and cocoa the
operations have been to an average extent at full
rates. In tea there has been no material alteration,
business having been deferred until the public
sales which are advertised to commence in a few
days. The tallow market has been more ani-
mated, and prices for both present and forward
delivery have shown an upward tendency.
The efficials returns relaing to the trade and navi-
gation of the United Kingdom for the month of
7anaary have just been published, and frum them
it appears that the total declared value of the ex-
ports from that period has been £10,413,C86 against
£8,045,155, in the latter period of 1863, showing an
increase of £2,368,431. The increase is perceptible
in beer and ale, coals and calm, cotton yarn, cotton
manufactures, earthernware, haberdashery, and
millinery, linen yarn, linen manufactures, silk
manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool, and worsted
manufactures.

The importation of the principal articles have ih
been larger as regards live animals, flax, rice, lin- --lb
seed, tallow, wheat, lour, and wine, while there 8k
has been a diminution in raw cotton, petroleum, 2
raw silk, sheep and lambs' wool, coffee, sugar, tea, 22,
and tobacco. The shipping accounts exhibit an

increase in the tonnage of vessels employed in the
foreign trade for both the entries inwards and the
clearances outwards, while in the coasting trade
for the same period there is little change of im-
st
portance.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's 11
telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes opened at 66f. 27c.
66 30—firm.

A further decline of per cent. has taken place 11
to-day in-the market for the English funds, owing 1;
to farther sales on speculative account, induced d 4
by the unsatisfactory position of continental poli-
tics. Consols are 91 -I for transfer and about 91 .7-;
for the Bth April. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 897, '4-, and Indian 5 per Cents. 1041, II(
Bank Stock is 2371 239.

There has not been much alteration in the et
Foreign Market, to-day, and business is quiet. ai
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 68t 694 ; do. Con-
et
solides, 501 ; Mexican, 431 1--; Greek, 221
Spanish Passive, 35i; do. Certificates, 132. ;
Portuguese, 481 ; and the Confederate Loan 43 45.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have w
been restricted, and in several instances prices have 81
shown less firmness. Great Eastern and Great
Northern A Stock have declined 10s., Caledonian et
153., and London and Brighton £l, while Metro-
politan,
Midland, and South Eastern have im-
proved 53.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit
little change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are flat. Imperial
Ottoman realise 18; London Joint Stock, 401 41 ;
Discount Corporation, 101 ; Credit Mobilier are
quoted 11 11 prem. ; Credit Foncier of Great
