MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

About £52,000 in bar gold was taken into the
Bank yesterday, but 40,000 sovereigns were with-
drawn for exportation to the East.
There was no material alteration in the foreign
exchange, yester day afternoon.
The bar silver by the West India packet has been
sold at ss. 1/1. per oz., being rather higher than
the price recently obtained. This improvement has
been produced by the advance just telegraphed
from Bombay.
Since Monday last the specie movement has been
of a very extensive character, the imports having
amounted to £1,370,300, while the exports have only
reached £413,300.

There is no new feature in the general discount
market, and the demand for accommodation con-
tinues moderately active, but there .is also a good
supply of capital. The charges for first-class bills
range from 51 to 6 per cent., and no further con-
cessions are expected until after the distribution of
the April dividends on New Threes, Reduced, Sc 3.
A call of £5 per share, payable o❑ the Ist pros.,
bas been made by the directors of the Standard
Bank of British South Africa.

The directors of the Credit Mobilier (Limited)
have notified that, notwithstanding the receipt of
three times the number of applications for shares
than were to be issued, an allotment has been made
to each subscriber.
The Bolivian Government has appeared in this
market for a 7 per cent. loan, amounting to
£1,500,000, of which £500,000 is reserved till next
Sear. The bonds are to be emitted in sums of £lOO,
£2OO, and £5OO each, redeemable at par in 25 ye,rs
by an accumulating sinking fund commencing at
2 per cent. on the 15th March, 1866. The open•
ton is brought forward by the London and County
Bank, and the proceeds are to be applied strictly
to industrial purposes—viz., the formation ~of a
credit establishment at Potosi, to assist exclusively
the mining interests of the State, to the con-
struction of bridges, roads, and other public works,
with a view to develops the vast mineral wealth,
the guano trade and the commercialresources of the
country generally. For the due payment of the
interest and the redemption of the principal the
Government of the Republic have specially hypo-
thecated the proceeds of the guano deposits, as well
eal the revenues accruing from the customs of the
1,1,T of Cobija and the towns of Oruro and LaPay.
IA? Ite.Public has no external debt, and its internal
o igations are stated not to exceed half a million
sterling,. and
this the Government intend to extin-
guish next year by the remaining issue (X 500,000)
of this loan. Tao sofubscr
llowin iptions can be made in the
fog instaltnents :—XS on application, £lO on
allotment, £lO on 15th April, £l5 on 16th May,
£lO on 15th June, £l5 on 15th July, £l5 on 15th
-August, and £8 —less the dividend of 3,1 per cent.
`Oh 15th September. Discount at the rate of 5
Per cent. will be allowed for prepayments in full.

The prospectus of Silvee's India-rubber Works
and Telegraph Cable Company (Limited) has been
Put before the public, and, to all appearance, on a
very sound footing, The capital is to be £500,000
In 10,000 shares of £5O each, of which 5,000 is to
be a first issue, £2 per share is to be paid on appli-
cation, and £3 on allotment, of which a considerable
proportion have already been subscribed for. The
'works are already well and favourably known, and
but little doubt can be entertained that, with the
influence of the important board of directors, whose
tames will be at once recognised as gentlemen of
:standing, these hitherto successful works wi,l
Tepidly expand. Not the least guarantee of this is
the fact that Messrs. Silver and Co. will remain
Identified with the extended operations of the
watpany,
A Company has been formed for effectively carry-
Ing out and extending Bonelli's Electric Telegraph.
The capital is to be £250,000, of which £25,00
forms the original capital of the company. Under
the
proposed new management there will be a fur-
,r-er issue of £225,000, in 22,500 share of £lO each.
:L he deposit to be £1 on application, and £1• on al-
lotead ment. we may notice that a line has been
t,
a tr
established between Manchester and Liver-
pool, the Working of which proves to demonstra-
tion the excellence of Bonelli's method over
that of other telegraphic systems, and the names
of the gentlemen who form the Directory are
guarantee that full scope shall be given to the
Working of it out. Arrangements have been made
1° acquire the patent right for the United Kingdom,
as also to meet the great expenditure necessary to
carry out the extensive operations which are pro-
Posed. It is intended by this company to reduce the
tariff of charge for messages to a uniform rate of
.siZpence for the usual 20 words. The typo-electrical
Instrument possesses peculiar advantages—among
others the printing of each message in the very act
01 transmission, and also the greater celerity with
Which communications may be forwarded. The ex-
Periments which have been already made so success-
fully show the great value and importance which
blued attach the commercial world, more especially,
10 the operations of this important company.

ME rROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

Spring-gardens ; the President, J. Thwaites, Esq., took the
chair at twelve o'clock.

FINANCE.

The cash statement for the current week shows a total
general balance of £188,797 12a 41.

EXTENSION OF THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY,

Mr. LONG introduced a deputation from the inhabitants
of Shoreditch, praying the board to oppose the extension of
the line from Shoreditch to 'Wormwood-street. The views of
the memorialists were that it the work were carried out it
would necessatily involve the destruction of a large amount
of property, and would do more harm than good.

Referred to the Streets Committee for consideration and
report.

TMPROVEMRNT or NEIVGATE-STREET.

A-report was brought up from the Works and Improve-
ment Committee, recommending (among other things) that
the board do contribute the sum of £3,058 10s, being one-
half the cost of effecting a public improvement in Newgate •
street, to be carried out by the Commissioners of Sewers of
the city of London, by laying into the public way so mach
of the sites of the houses, Nos. 67 to 70, inclusive, in that
street, as is shown on the plan accompanying the memorial,
at an estimated cost of £6,117 exclusive of professional
charges ; and that ouch amount be pad to the Commission-
ers of Sewers of the city of London, oa a certificate from the
architect of this board of the completion of the work.
After considerable discussion and several divisions, it was
eventually decided by the casting vote of the chairman that
the amount to be contributed should be £2,500.
The routine business having been disposed of, the board
adjourned.

about 1-loth per ce*, clearer in London than in Paris,
