MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is still well supplied with
capital, and the commercial public find little diffi-
culty in discounting their bills at rates fractionally
below the official minimum. The inquiry for ac•
commodation to-day has been moderate, and many
are now indulging the hopeful feeling that lower
quotations will soon prevail. The chargfis for the
best paper having a week or so to run are St per
cent., but the larger number of transactions are
recorded at 9 per cent.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank yesterday.
Mr. John Piddington, of Gracechurch-street,
foreign patent agent, has failed with liabilities
estimated at £30,000; and Messrs. Duckworth and
Co,, wine merchants, with debts and liabilities to a
considerable amount.

Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days has been rather
dull. Sugar has maintained former prices, while
tin has been at rather lower rates. In coffee an
average business has been reported at steady quota-
ti)ns, while rice, fruit, and spices have remained
inactive at about former rates. Tallow has been in
better request at enhanced quotations for both pre-
sent and forward delivery.

At a general meeting, held to-day, of the pro-
prietors of the Demerara Railway Company, Mr.
John A. Tinne in the chair, the statement of
accounts presented exhibited a balance on revenue
acount of £4,684 14s. 5d., out of which the direc-
tors proposed a payment of £2,600 13.1., 6d., the
preference dividend on capital applicable to the old
line, and of £1,688 155., a dividend at the rate of
2* per cent. per annum on the original stock,
amounting together to £4,289 Bs. 6d., leaving a
balance of £395 Sc, 11d. to be carried forward to
the current half-year.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this day, according to
Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
quoted 64f. 90c. to 64t. 92c. Firm.
Business recently has been more active in the
English Stock Market than for some time past.
The public are more hopeful than they were, and
are consequently investers where they were
sellers of stock. Under such circumstances,
the Funds continue to make daily pros
gress, and Consols for money have now reached
891 Z, and for the account 89Z . The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 871 ; Exchequer Billet
March, 10s to 63 die. ; and India 5 per Cents., 1041
105; Bank Stock is marked 237 239 ; and India do.,

have been on a limited scale ; prices, however,
exhibit a firmer tone. North Western, Metros
Politan, and South Eastern, have each improved
Os. ; and Great Western, £1 ; while Caledonian
and Great Eastern have declined ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continue dull
Without material change in values.
