MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The mercantile classes do not appear inclined to
obtain more accommodation at 9 per cent. than
necessity compels. The rate is a high one, and pre-
cedence as well as economy dictates the curtailment
of business till less onerous terms for discounting
shall prevail. The floating balances of bankers and
brokers show no augmentation, and no change has
therefore been made in the quotation for first-class
bills, although six months' paper has been negotiated
at 81 per cent.
There was a further influx of £50,000 in gold at
the Bank yesterday.
The Barcda, which leaves to-morrow for Bombay,
will convey £86,000 in gold and £31,800 in silver,
making a total of £117,800.
The City of Baltimore, from New York, has ar-
rived with £98,000.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was a slightly downward tendency.
The Mexican dollars by the last packet have been
sold at ss. ltd. per oz.
A respectably constituted undertaking has just
been brought forward under the title of the Alliance
National Land, Building, and Investment Company
(Limited). It is proposed to develope and extend
the business of the Alliance National Land, Build-
ing, and Investment Society, which was established
in 1862, and has attained success. Under the ope-
ration of the Limited Liability Act, the company
will always have the best opportunities for using i
its capital to advantage. The shares of the British
Land Company (Limited) are now saleable at a
premium of upwards of 50 per cent. Operations
will be carried on both in England and Ireland. It
is mentioned that no expense will attend the pro-
motion and establishment of this undertaking, with
the exception of the cost of the usual preparation ;
of the articles of association and registration. We
shall advert to this important association at some
length to-morrow. 8

The shares of the Tavistock Iron Company were
in demand to-day at 11 and 2 prem. The capital
stock of this company is being rapidly absorbed.
By a telegram from St. Nazaire we learn that the
Transatlantic Company's steamer Florida has ar-
rived at that port with 226 passengers and 30,000
dollars in freight. She left Vera Cruz on the 14th
ult., Santiago de Cuba on the 20th, and Martinique
on the 26th.

At Paris this morning, according to Renter's 1
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 75e. 81
A quiet and heavy feeling has pervaded the
Stock Exchange markets to-day. Little business has
been negotiated, and a few sales have been sufficient
to occasion a decline of about 1 per cent in the Eng.
lish Funds. Consols are 91}
-1 for money, and
90-1 less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 891 ; at'
Exchequer Bills for March, 15s. dis. ; and for
June, 4s. dis.; India 5 per Cents. 1041 105, and etc
ditto 4 per Cents, 991. India Stock is 217 219. •••
In the Foreign Market, business is moderately
active, and prices are a trifle flatter. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1862, are 701 711; ditto Consolid4s,
501 51; Mexicsn, 436 44; ditto New, 1 die. par ;
Greek, 221 23; Portuguese, 4714 481 ; Spanish
et
Passive, 341 35 ; and the Confederate Loan, 65 67.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have it
been on a very limited scale, and the few bargains
recorded show in several instances a slight decline
as regards prices. Metropolitan and South Eastern
have each receded 10s., and North Western, 55.; :
while London and Blackwall have improved 10s. St
The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit little et;
change of importance.

stances at slightly reduced quotations. British
