MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Discount 'Market is in a very disturbed con-
dawn, and the quotation generally asked for the
best three months' bills is 7 per cent. The Bank
have not altered their minimum, but have never-
theless required one per cent. more for certain
descriptions of business than they did a few days
ago. This has occasioned an unsettled feeling out
of doors, and increased strengency is generally
expected. Large quantities of specie are expected
to leave for India, the Brazils, Egypt, and other
places.

During the last few days there has been rather
less animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugar, however, has generally supported
previous prices_ For coffee the demand has con-
tinued heavy, while a large amount of business has
been done in rice at enhanced prices. Spices and
fruit have remained at about previous quotations,
while the tallow market has been dull, and prices
have, in some instances, slightly given way.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of £1,259 18s. 2d. on account of the dividends
on the debt of Ecuador.

Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.'s agents in
Venezuela advice that they had received for 55 per
Cent. of the import duties for three weeks :—From
the Custom-house of La Guayra, 69,986 dols. 72c. ;
and from Puerto Cabella there had been received,
1,641 dols. 85c.; total, 71,628 dole. 57c.

Two O'CLOCK,

At the first general meeting to-day of the pro-
prietors of the Scinde, Punjaub, and Delhi Bank
Corporation the report, an extract of which has
already been published, was adopted. Mr. W. P.
Andrew occupied the chair, and informed the share-
holders that the business of the bank had been but
too recently commenced to allow a detailed state-
ulent to be given, but little doubt existed as to the
ultimate prosperity of the establishment.
The shareholders of the Victoria Docks also held
a special meeting to-day for the purpose of receiving
a proposition from the lessees for the transfer of
their(the shareholder's) property to the London and
Bt. Katharine's Dock Companies, the price to be
Paid being £lO7 10s. for every £lOO stock, and
£2l 10s. for every £2O share.
The Stock Exchange Market closed yesterday
with a very heavy 'appearance, and increased de-
pression has been experienced today. The un-
settled state of political affairs abroad and the
Prospect of dearer money at home have weakened
the markets for stocks and shares, and sales having
been negotiated on an extensive scale, prices have
all receded. Consols this morning have declined
another k per cent., the present prices being 91:
928 for money ; 90k :, less the dividend, for the 3d
inst.; and 91k for the January settlement. The
New Threes are last quoted 90 901 ; the Reduced
Annuities, 901; Exchequer Bills, 10a. to ss. dis. ;
and India 5 per Cents., 1088 g.
In the early part of the day a decided decline
took place in the value of the principal speculative
Foreign Securities, but a partial recovery has since
occurred, and the market presents a generally firm
appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are now
891 704 ; Mexican, 361 d ; Greek, 25: 8 ; Spanish
Passive, 33-I 34 ; ditto Certificates, 131 g ;
and the Confederate Loan, 55 57. In the
other stocks the transactions have been as
fallows:—Portuguese Scrip, a I prem. (since then,
however, the price has risen to I 1 prem.) ; Italian
5 per Cents., 70k 4 ; Venezuelan 6 per Cents., 551 ;
Peruvian, 49 per Cents., So 4 ; Russian 5 per Cents.
871 1,-

Tae operations in Railway Shares have been on
a very limited scale, and the few bargains recorded
show a further decline in values. Metropolitan
have receded 305., Blaokwall and South Eastern
155., Great Western, North Western, and Midland,
10s., and Great Eastern, and Lancashire and York-
shire ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
Without any change of importance.
Bank Shares continue depressed. Imperial Otto-
man have declined to 16k, London and County to
65, Alliance of London and Liverpool to 46, and
East London to 71.
In the Miscellaneous Market Discount Corpora-
tion
'Ave receded to 81- 9, and Rio de Janeiro Im-
provement to 271.
