CONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Discount Market is in a very disturbed con-
dawn, and the quotation generally asked for the
befit three months' bills is 7 per cent. The Bank
have not altered their minimum, but have never-
the,less required one per cent. more for certain
descriptions of business than they did a few days
ago. This has occasioned an unsettled feeling out
of 'doors, and increased strengency is generally
ex Peeted. Large quantities of specie are expected
to leave for India, the Brazils, Egypt, and other
pLaces.
During the last few days there has been rather
:ilia animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produne
'arkets. Sugar, however, has generally supported
!mous prices. For coffee the demand has con-
tinued heavy, while a large amount of business has
been done in rice at enhanced prices. Spices and
trait have remained at about previous quotations,
While the tallow market has been dull, and prices
att."; is some instances, slightly given way.
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received
b 7 this mail on account of New Granada dividends
-From the Custom-house of Santa Marts, £1,928
'B.
7d. ; Carthugena, £567 10s. ; Rio Hache, £l4l
9s. 9d. ; total, £2,637 6s. 4d.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of £1,259 18s. 2d. on account of the dividends
on the debt of Ecuador.
_ Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.'s agents in
Venezuela advise that they had received for 55 per
eetit. of the import duties for three weeks :—From
the Custom-house of La Guayra, 69,986 dole. 72c. ;
and from Puerto Cabella there had been received,
1)641 dols. 85c.; total, 71,628 dole. 57c.

Two o'CLocir.

At the first general meeting to-day of the pro-
prietors of the Mode, Punjaub, and Delhi Bank
Corporation the report, an extract of which has
already
been published, was adopted. Mr. W. P.
Andrew occupied the chair, and informed the share-
holders that the business of the bank had been but
too recently commenced to allow a detailed state-
tient to be given, but little doubt existed as to the
ultimate prosperity of the establishment.
The shareholders of the Victoria Docks also held
a special meeting to-day for the purpose of receiving
a proposition from the lessees for the transfer of
their(the shareholder's) property to the London and
St. Katharine,s Dock Companies, the price to be
paid being £lO7 103. for every £lOO stock, and
£2l 10s. for every £2O share,

The Stock Exchange Market closed yesterday
'with a very heavy !appearance, and increased de-
pression has been experienced to-day. The un-
settled state of political affairs abroad and the
prospect of dearer money at home have weakened
the markets for stocks and shares, and sales having
been negotiated on an extensive scale, prices have
all receded. Consols this morning have declined
another I per cent., the present prices being 911
921 for money; 901 a, less the dividend, for the 3d
11UL ; and 91} for the January settlement. The
:New Threes are last quoted 90 901 ; the Reduced
Annuities, 90k; Exchequer Bills, 10s. to ss. dis. ;
and India 5 per Cents., 1081 1.
In the early part of the day a decided decline
took place in the value of the principal speculative
Poreign Securities, but a partial recovery has since
occurred, and the market presents a generally firm
appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are now
691 701 ; Mexican, 36} a ; Cheek, 291 ; Spanish
Passive, 33 34 ; ditto Certificates, 131 d ;
and the Confederate Loan, 55 57. In the
other stocks the transactions have been as
fellows:—Portuguese Serip, d t prem. (since then,
however, the price has risen to 1 prem.) ; Italian
5 per Cents., 709 = ; Venezuelan 6 per Cents., 551 ;
Peruvian, 41 per Cents., 80 4 ; Russian 5 per Cents.
871 _ _

Tne operations in Railway Shares have been on
a very limited scale, and the few bargains recorded
Show a further decline in values. Metropolitan
have receded 305., Blaekwall and South Eastern
158., Great Western, North Western, and Midland,
I°B.l and Great Eastern, and Lancashire and York-
Shire 58.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
Without any change of importance.
Bank Shares continue depressed. Imperial Otto-
11lan have declined to 161, London and County to
15, Alliance of London and Liverpool to 46, and
-tist London to 7k.
, the Miscellaneous Market Discount Corpora-
"oo have receded to 81 9, and Rio de Janeiro Im-
provement to 27i.
