MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Discount Market is in a very disturbed con-
dition, 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 supporitd
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 advise 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 Dalhi 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-
ment to be given, but little doubt existed as to the
Intimate 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
St. 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 to-day. 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
b,,,en negotiated on an extensive scale, prices have
all receded. Consols this morning have declined
another k per cent., the present prices being 91Z
921 for money ; 901 a, less the dividend, for the 3d
inst.; and 911 for the January settlement. The
New Threes are last quoted 90 901; the Reduced
Annuities, 901; Exchequer Bills, 10s. to ss. dis. ;
and India 5 per Cents., 1089 1.
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
691 /01; Mexican, 361 I ; Greek, 291 ; Spanish
Passive, 331 34 ; ditto Certificates, 131 8 ;
and the Confederate Loan, 55 57. In the
other stocks the transactions have been as
follows:—Portuguese Scrip, e 4 prem. (since then,
however, the price has risen to 1 1 prem.) ; Italian
5 per Cents., 701 1; Venezuelan 6 per Cents., 551 ;
Peruvian, 41 per Cents., 8u 1; Russian 5 per Cents.
872 1.

Tne operatiOns in Railway Shares have been on
a very limited scale, and the few bargains recorded
show a farther decline in values. Metropolitan
have receded 305., Blackwall 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
55, Alliance of London and Liverpool to 46, and
East London to 7k.
In the Miscellaneous Market Discount Corpora-
tion have receded to 8k 9, and Rio de Janeiro Im-
provement to 27i.
