ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 661.05 c.
Opening flat.
Early in the day the Funds improved k per cent.,
but this led to sales, and very unfavourable views
were expressed with regard to the proceedings in
Parliament and the prospect of a continuance, at
least for a time, of an unsatisfactory foreign policy.
All the markets have closed with a gloomy aspect,
and Consols, after being 90Z for money and 90:
for account, are now only 90; Z and 904 8 respec-
tively. But for the plentiful supplies of floating
capital, and other encouraging circumstances, specu-
lators would no doubt be inclined to operate for a fall.
The New Threes are marked at 891 ; and the
Reduced Annuities 891 8 ; India 5 per Cents.,
1041 Z.

There is less firmness in the Foreign Stock
Market, and business is dull. Turkish 6 per Cents.,
1862, are 68,1 69k; ditto Consolides, 49,1 50 ;
Mexican, 281 4 ; Greek, 24 1, ; Spanish Passive
29 ; Portuguese, 471 48; Russian, 87-1- I; and
the Confederate Loan, 69; 701.
In the Railway Share Market there has been
-very little animation, and the variations in prices
have been of an unimportant character. North
Western have improved 10s, and Metropolitan
£1 10a; while Great Eastern have declined it, and
Great Western,
The Foreign and Colonial lines generally remain
at about former rates.

Bank and Misenllaneous Shares are dull, but in
most instances maintained previous quotations.
Ebbw Vale Company Shares are_quoted ld prem.;
Societe Gec6rale de L'Empire Ottoman, 21 38prem.; and Charnounix United Hotel Shares,
I, 1/ prem.

METROPOLITAN RAIL \VAL—The adjourned gene-
ral
Meeting of shareholders in this company was
held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr, W. A. Wilkin-
son in the chair, for the purpose of considering a bill now
before Parliament, entitled " A bill to enable the Metropoli-
tan Railway Company to extend their railway from Fins-
bury-circus to Trinity-square, Tower-hill, and for other
h ." Mr. Borchelt, the solicitor, having read the
heads of the bill, the chairman said he trusted the
meeting would sanction the bill now before it, for he
believed no body of shareholders were ever placed in
a more fa
the directvourable
rangements position than they were by the ar-
tlemen of wealth ors had entered into. Four gen-
Undertaken all the risk and railway experience had
of the proposed line, and were will-
Ming either to keep the whole of
the capital, or allow the
shareholders of the etropolitan to take up any quantity of
the capital they thought pi-oper. They therefore ran no
risk, while they had the option of sharing in the prosperity.
They would incur no responsibility from the extension ;
the capital and receipts would be kept separate, and their
dividends would not be injuriously affeinctoevdi,ungothn lea
adoptiontterh ow
the branches paid. He concluded by
of the bill. Mr Austin seconded thcf3rorniesokurti

after some discussion and opposition
Mr Elers, and others, was agreed to. A vote of than

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Discount Market to-day has presented a
quiescent appearance, and the rates have continued
to range fully per cent. below the minimum of the
Bank of England. It is generally thought that
affsirs next week will become much easier, owing
to the payment of the dividends and the moderate
demand for accommodation.
There was no material alteration in the foreign
exchanges yesterday afternoon.
About 25,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from
the Bank yesterday for transmission to the Brazils.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £408,290, and the exports to £433,579.
