XONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCIC:

The easy condition of the Money Market con-
tinues to progress, though without bringing forward
any large number of bills. About one-half per
cent. less than the minimum of the Bank of Eng-
land is the rate at which the mercantile community
eln obtain any amount of accommodation on good
Paper, but the supply, of this latter commodity is
Scarce, and as a consequence the business transacted
is comparatively small.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank
• Yesterday.
The suspension was announced yesterday after-
Non of Messrs. Woodward and Podmore, wholesale
grocers, with liabilities estimated at nearly £40,000,
but a favourable liquidation is expected.
The application list of the imperial Mexican
Railway Company will close on 'Wednesday nett.
During the last few days there has been rather
more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
(lace Markets. Sugars have been in good demand,
at enhanced rates, while steady prices have been
Current for coffee, rice, fruit, and spices. Business
in the tallow market, however, has remained dull,
at about former potations for both present and
forward deliver,.
At the halt-yearly meeting held to-day of the
Submarine Telegraph Company between Great
Britain and the Continent of Europe. The report
Presented for adcption stated that on comparing the
eecounts with the corresponding half_year of 1863,
the receipts had increased by £1,737 Is. llfld., and
the expenses were less by 4631 6s. 41-d. The revenue
had been charged, as usual, with 10 per cent. on the
gross receipts, equal to £2,388 2s. 6d., for the re-
serve fund, which now amounted t0'.£8,907 2s. 10d.
The result enabled the direotore to recommend a
dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, or of
21 per cent. for the half-year instead of 2 per cent.
for the six months ending June, 1863.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 35c.

At the opening of the Stock Exchange there was
a resumption of speculative sales for a fall, and the
result was another decline of 1 in addition to the /
Per cent. last evening. Within the last hour, how-
ever, some purchases and the knowledge that not-
Ilithstanding this continued depreciation there is
tothing at all to call forth so much weakness,
(Notations have rallied, and Consols are 881, 89 for
10ney, and at 801 / for the account. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 88} I ; Ex.
chequer Bills, 255. to 15s. dis.; and India 5 per
Cents., 1031 104 k.
Although Foreign Stocks were rather flatter at
the commencement of business, a general improve.
rnent has since taken place, and they are now all
riner. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 69170/ ;
do. Consolides, 50:4 ; Mexican, 281 ; do. New,
251 261; Greek, 23/ 1; Spanish Passive, 3077 ti;
Certificates, 12t, 13; Portuguese, 471 i; and
the Confederate Loan, 78 79.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on a very limited scale, and the few bargains
entered into have been at reduced prices. Great
Northern A stock has deciined 12, London and
Brighton 155., and Great Western, Lancashire and
Yorkshire and London, Chatham, and Dover each
64. Midland, however, have improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines continue very dull
at about previous quotations.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in some in.
stances a shade cheaper. London and Brazilian
have declined to 471 48 ; Merchant Bank to 28/ ;
union of Australia to 521- 53 ; Union of London to
; and International Finance to 91 3.
