ONEY MARKETE BEARE MARKETS.—This day.

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:
A slight change has come over the aspect of
affairs in the discount market to-day. Greater
demand for money has been experienced, and the
bankers and brokers, seizing the opportunity, have
increased their charges 51 and 6 per cent., being the
quotatiors current for first class bills. This small
advance, however, creates not the least anxiety,
because the enlarged inquiry is considered to be
only of a temporary character, and with the con-
tinued and extensive influx of gold into the country
there is every prospect that before long a substan-
tial concession will be graned to the mercantile
community.

About £14,000 in bar gold was taken into the
Bank yesterday, but 50,000 sovereigns were with-
drawn for exportation.
The steauin La Plata has arrived from the West
Indies with £1,045,600 in specie, being the largest

amount ever conveyed in one vessel.
During the past few days there has not been
much animation in the foreign and colonial pro-
duce markets. The high rates demanded for sugars
has in some measure checked operations. Tea has
continued in fair request, while in coffee the deal-
ings have been to an average extent at full rates.
Rice, fruit, and spices have remained inactive, while
tallow has been dealt in to a moderate extent
for both present and forward delivery at about
previous quotations.
The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed
Friday, the 18th March, a special settling day in
the shares of the National Provincial Aerated
Bread Company (Limited), and in the new shares
of the London Financial Association (Limited)—
both to be marked, but the former in the bi•weekly
list only.

The share list of the New Devon Console Copper
Mining Company will close on Wednesday, the
16th March.

The prospectus has been issued of the British 2
Columbia and Vancouver Island Investment Com- 126
pany, with a capital of £500,000, half of which is
to be its first issue in shares of £25 each. It is
introduced by the General Credit and Finance Com-
pany of London, and the object is to raise money on 8
debentures in this country, and to apply the pro-
ceeds to mortgage of real estate or other securities
in the two colonies, where the value of capital is
always considerably higher than it is here. The ;be
Company will act as agents in all matters of invest-
Meat and finance between the home capitalist and Sk
the colonial property holder. 2(

The improvement of
au
per cent. in the English
Funds at the close of business yesterday has not
been fully maintained to-day. A few sales effected slcc
in the early part of the morning soon brought quo- it
tations down 1 per cent., and Consols are now 91t is
for money, and 91a -I for the acconnt. The general N
I
appearance of affairs, however, is favourable, the p
prospect of cheaper money and the hope that Europe
may still escape a general war, create a better feeling
"long operators, and the markets, notwithstanding et
an occasional adverse fluctuation, maintain great
buoyancy. The New Threes and Reduced Annul-
are 89,1 1'; Exchequer Bills, 3s. dis. to par ;
India 5 per Cents., 1041 ; Enfaced 5 per Cents.,
104, and Bolide, Bs. die. 111
In the Foreign Market there is not much annima- o_l
flan, and prices are less buoyant. Turkish 6 per "
Cents., 1858, are 681 t; do. Consolides, 531, Meal-
ean, 421 431; Greek, 22i 231 ; Spanish Passive,
361 d ; do. Certificates, 131 14 ; Portuguese 481 1; e
Italian, 671 4 ; and the Confederate Loan, 48 50.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather. inactive, the dealers and speculators having st
been chiefly engaged with the liquidation of the
half monthly account. Great Western and Mid-
land, however, have improved Ll, Brighton and
Eetropolitan 158., North Western 10s., and Ureat
stern
58.
; while Lancashire and Yorkshire have
declined
58.fand South Western 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit
little
animation, and quotations are unaltered.

derate request. Bank of Otago realise ; Hin-
dostan, Coina, and Japan, 311; Union of London,
