MONEY MARKET

AND

CODINERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
A good inquiry for money is still experienced in
the general discount market, but the rate required
for first-class paper is not more than equal to the
Bank of England minimum. Tne demand appears
to be stimulated by provincial capitalists, who,
through the activity of trado at all the principal
seats of industry, are in need of accommodation for
continuing commercial operations which have lat-
terly much increased.

Tho alterations shown in the Bank of England
return for the past week have not taken tha public
by surprise, as they were foreseen by the sudden and
repeated movements in the minimum rate for dis-
count. The bullion has been reduce], and a large
falling off has also taken place in the reserve of
notes. The other securities have been very con-
siderably increased. Subjoined is our usual
analysis :

A further supply of bar gold, amounting to
£27,000, was taken into the Bank yesterday.
The directors of the Cape (Eastern Province)
Railway Company have recommended the return to
the scripholders of ls. per share, leaving a balance
in hand, eufficiefit to protect the company's interest;
whenever an opportunity occurs to tender for the
construction of the line, new surveys having been
authorised by the Government.

During the last few days the dealings in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been
very much restricted, consequent upon the advance
in the value of money. At the public sales of tea
rather lower prices have been established, while
sugar, coffee, cocoa, and rice have each been in very
limited request at barely previous rates. In tallow,
however, there has been rather more business at
slightly enhanced prices for both present and for-
ward delivery. The public sales of colonial wool
have commenced with a full attendance of both
home and foreign dealere, and prices generally are
equal to those current at the close of the previous
auctions.

The shares of the Bonelli Telegraph Company
were in demand to-day at 11, and closed at 2 prem.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris this morning, according to Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 45c.
Plat.

The market fur the X oglish Funds continues
much depressed, consequent upon sales, and the un-
favourable feeling respecting politics, At one time
this morning a decline of fully *per cent. occurred,
but part of this loss has been recovered, and Consols
are now 90a 4 for money, and 891 (less the half
years interest) for the account, The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 881 e ; Annuities, 1885,
14 7-16 ; Exchequer Bills, for March, 15s, Bs.
die., and 9s. 4s. dis. ; India 6 per Cents., 104 i
and Bonds, 15s. dis.

Foreign Securities have continued dull, and prices
have further declined. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862,
have receded to 70 1; ditto Consolidts, to 491 50;
Mexican to 4211; do., New Scrip, is 11 dis. ;
Greek have declined to 218. y ; Spanish Passive to
33i ; the Confederate Loan to 60 62; the Russian
to 1 11 prem.; and the Swedish to s 1 prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued very inactive, and prices in several instances
show a further decline. London and Brighton
have receded 11 10s. ; London, Chatham, and
Dover,. Z 1; and North Eastern (Berwick), and
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 55.; while Great Eastern
have improved ss. ; and Metropolitan, 15s:
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in some
instances rather flatter.
The following are the current quotations of some
of the principal new projects:—North Australian
Company, 11 prem. ; Sabloniere Hotel, 111
prem.; Telegraph Construction, 1 11 prem.; In.
ternational Contract, 1 die.; prem. ; International
Land Credit, 11 2 prem. ; Provincial Banking
Corporation, 1 1 prem.; Scottish and Universal
Finance Bank, 1/ 2 prem.; City Offices, 1 1 prem. ;
Imperial Bank of China, 1 11 prem. ; Millwall Iron
Works, 1/ prem.; Humber Iron Works, 411
