lONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is a lull demand for discount accommoda-
tion to-day at firm quotations.
The reduction in the Bank of France minimum
rate of interest and discount from 41- to 4 per cent.
being generally expected, it has not led to much
discussion in monetary and commercial circles.
The Bank of England return for the week to
Wednesday last, shows a large increase in the stock
of bullion. An addition to the securities is also
exhibited, but the other movements were not of
much importance. Subjoined is our usual analysis :

The New Theatre Company is the title of a joint-
stock undertaking, promoted with a view to carry
out certain improvements in the structure of
theatres and their internal economy, on the prin-
ciple adopted in Paris by the French Government.
The company has purchased two long leaseholds
'whereon it proposed to erect two theatres
which are to possess architectural beauty of
design with all the internal modern im-
provements which combine comfort, elegance,
and good ventilation. One of the sites is situated
in the Haymarket, and the other at the corner of
Westminster Bridge, facing the Houses of Parlia-
ment, on the river side. This last site includes the
present Westminster Theatre and all its parapher-
nalia. The directors have concluded an arrange•
ment with Mr. Boucicault, the lessee, during the
construction of the new building, whereby a divi-
dend of about 10 per cent. to the shareholders is ex-
pected to be realised. When, however, the two thea-
tres are built, some few months hence, the directors
are sanguine enough to anticipate a dividend of more
than double the above amount. It is perhaps only
right to state that the names of the several noble-
men affixed to the prospectus as patrons of the new
undertaking are among the most distinguished
peers of the realm. The capital required is
£125,C00, which it is proposed to raise in shares of
£25 each, and which are already quoted I prem.
The Pera, which left to-day with the Bombay
mails, conveyed £130,300 in specie.
The next drawing of bills of exchange on India
will take place on the Ist proximo, and the amount
will be £600,000.
During the last few days less animation has pre-
vailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets.
Sugars in some instances have been a little chea. er.
Coffee, however, maintained full rates. In cocoa,
rice, ani tea, there has been no material change as
regards values ; and tallow remains dull, for both
present and forward delivery, at 433. 6d. to 435. 9d.
per cwt. on the spo', and 463. 3d. for last three
months.

Two o'CLocK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the 3 per Cent. French Rentes were
69f. 35c. Rather firm.
No material improvement can be reported in the
business transacted in the market for the English
Funds. This department, as well as that assigned
to the negotiation of shares, is neglected, foreign
Securities alone being the only centre of attraction
for speculative operators. Although exceedingly
inactive, however, Consols continue buoyant, the
current quotations being 922 / for transfer, and
92/ 21 for the account—a further rise of 1 per cent.
The appearance of the market at the present mo-
ment is exceedingly favourable. The New Threes
are firm at 911, the Reduced at 911 ; Exchequer
Bills remain at 53. to 2s. dis., and India Stock at
227 ; ditto 5 per Cent. is rather firmer at 1081 1.
In the Foreign department, Greek Bonds and
Turkish Consolides have again attracted consider-
able attention, and several fluctuations haveoccurred
in prices. Greek Bonds opened at 25/, then ad-
vanced to 27/, and have since reacted to 261 4,
white the Coupons have risen to 10-1 111. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1854, are 90i 4 ; do., 1858, 68/
69 ; do., 1862, have improved to 70/ s ; the Con-
solides, after being dealt in at 47/ 48, are now
quoted 47 owing to sales in realisation. The
various other Securities show no important change.
The Confederate Loan is 11 2 prem.

In the Railway Share Market there has been very
little animation, and the variations in prices were
unitr. portant. Great Westerns, North Westerns,
Midlands, and South Easterns improved about ss. ;
and Great Northerns, 103.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings were flat
at previous quotations.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares re-
main at about yesterday's closing prices.
