XONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocic:
The activity noticed in the general discount
market yesterday continues unabated to-day.
Bankers and brokers still evince little faith in the
present condition of monetary affairs, and refuse
even first-class bills under 7§ per cent. Con-
sequently, the Bank of England have transacted
the larger amount of business brought forward, as
the commercial public find it to their advantage
to resort to the national establishment for acorn
modation.

The Roxburgh Castle, from Me;bourne, has
brought £24,500.
During the last few days there has been very
little animation in the Foreign and Colonici Pro-
duce Markets. Sugar has been depressed, while the
dealings in cc,ffee have been on a very restricted
"ale, Without material change in prices. Rice,
fruit, and spices have been without material altera-
tion in value, but tallow has been in more request,
at slightly enhanced rates for both present and for
Ward delivery.
It has been announced that the share list of the
Rudiskvall and Forssa Steam Sawing Mill Com-
pany will close to-day for London, and tomorrow
for applications from the country.
Thu British and Netherlands India Bank has been
announced under the auspices of the Merchant
Banking Company of London. The capital is to be
42,u00,000, the first issue to consist of half the
amount in shares of £5O each, and operations are to
'extend to India, China, Japan, Australia, and the
Eastern Archipelago. These countries, it is said,
have outran their existing banking accommodation,
and the necessity presses hard and severe
upon trade in these parts for increased monetary
facilities. The new institution proposes to meet this
neceasity by entering these largefields of enterprise,
and also by stimulating the financial and commercial
business of these countries. It will commence opera-
tions under promises of ♦aluable and extensive
support, and at a time when the joint stock p ring
eiple in banking is penetrating the East.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Ratites were 66f. 10c.,
and very quiet.

The markets for English stocks and shares are
still depressed and inactive. The belief that money
Will be fhrther increased influences operators to sell
securities, and hence the decline in values. No
alteration, however, has occurred this morning in
Me Funds, Consols being 891, 90 for money, and
901 for the account. The New Threes and Re.
duced Annuitiesi►are 891 ; Exchequer Bills, Bs.
to 3s. dis. ,for March, and 5s dis, to par for June,
India 5 per cent. 104! /, and ditto 1 per cents. 991.

Inactive appearance, \vith no material changes in
prices. Mexican ex all are* lower, being 281 1,
but the New Stock remains at 261 a ; Greek are

Consolidis, 494 501; and the Confederate Loan
continues flat at the former decline, viz., 75 77.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather inactive, and in some instances prices have
shown less firmness. Great Northern A Stock

.while Midland have improved 15s. ; South Eastern,
55.; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and
North Western, 10s.
