MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:

There is a moderate demand for discount accom-
modation at previous quotations, and the tendency
of the maiket still points to the prospect of addi-
tional ease.

There were no bullion operations 3t the Bank
yesterday.

Tho amount of specie to be taken out by the
Massiiis, which leaves for Bombay to-day, is
£127,750, of which £60,900 is in gold and £66,850
in silver.

Th 3 directors of the Contract Corporation have
resolved to pay a dividend for the past half year at
the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, and carry for-
Ward 1:6,000.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap •
pointed Monday next a special settling day in the
following securities, which are to he marked in the
official daily list :—lnternational Contract Com-
pany (for bargains on and after the 4th May), and
in the Agra and Mssterman's Bank New Shares
(paid up, and partially paid). A special settlement
is also to be made •in the Bedford Hotel, but the
shares are only to be marked in the twice-a
-week
list.

During the last few days there has been a very
limited amount of business in the Foreign and Co-
lonial Produce Markets. Sugar has remained at
about former prices, but for coffee full rates have
been obtained for superior qualities of colonial. In
tea, rice, fruit, cocoa, and spices an average business
has been reported, without material alteration in
values ; hile the tallow market has continued
exceedingly dull, and quotations have tended down-
wards for both present and forward delivery.
A meeting of Shareholders of the European
Bank was held to-day, when the resolution lately
adopted for increasing the capital to £4,000,000
Was unanimously confirmed.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 27c.
Only a trifling improvement can be noticed in
the market for the English Funds. Business con-
tinues inactive, and the still doubtfal state of poli-
tics affords no inducement to speculators. Consols
for money are 901 tl, and for the account 90a 1. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 a ;
Red Sea Telegraph, 201; India 5 per Cents., 1041 t;
do. 4 per Cents., 991; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1041;
do. 5/ per Cents., 1121; and the Bonds, 10s. to
143 dis.

There has been little change in the Foreign
Market, and business is rather inactive. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1862, are 681 69 ; ditto Consolides,
491 50 ; Mexican " EX. all," 281 ; ditto New,
26Z d; Greek, 241 4 ; Spanish Passive, 281 i;
Portuguese, 471 a ; Italian, 67,1 ; and the Con-
federate Loan, 70k.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been limited; prices, however, are well maintained.
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln have improved
£1 55.; London and Blackwall,Xl; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 53.; and South Eastern, 65.; while
North Eastern (Berwick) have declined 10e. ; and
South Western, 16s.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally exhibit
rather less firmness. London and County have
declined to 74 ; Mercantile Exchange to 19i, ;
Hudson Bay Co. to 171; and Berlin Water Works
to 8i; Chamounia United Hotel Co. are quoted
11 prem. ; Thames Plate Glass Company, 1, 2
prem. ; Ebb g Vale, 1 prem. ; and Maritime
Credit 1 2 prem.
