MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Great firmness still continues to be the charac-
teristic of the discount market, though the appli-
cations for accommodation have been now mate-
rially diminished. The enquiry latterly became
active through the provision that traders had had
to make for liquidating their bills, which were
due at the end of the year, as well as on the 4th,
and these arrangements having been concluded the
rates are now kept up because there is an idea very
generally entertained that in addition to the require-
ments of the Bank of France, sovereigns will be de-
spatched to the Brazils. The rate prices for the
best three months' bills remain at 61, and 61 per
cent.

About £3,000 in bar gold was taken into the
Bank yesterday.
The Pera, which left yesterday with the India
and China mails, conveyed £80,078 in specie.
The Canada has arrived from America with
£27,128.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Friday next a special settling day in the
shares of the National Bank of Liverpool (new), to
be marked in the official lists, and the Lundy
Granite Company and the Star and Garter Hotel
Company,
to be marked in the twice a week list
Only.

Arrangements are in progress for the establish-
ment of a new line of steamships between Liverpool
and Montreal, where a company has been formed
.for the purpose, with a capital of £500,000 sterling.
There is to be a weekly communication wilt Liver-
pool, -and a fortnightly or monthly service with
London. The success of the Glasgow and Montreal
lines, and the requirements of trade, are stated to
justify the introduction of the project.
A prospectus has been issued of the Panulcillo
(Chinon) Copper Company, with a capital of
£200,000, in shares of £4. The object is to purchase
and work a well-known copper mine about 43 miles
from the port of Coquimbo, with which it will soon
be placed in connexion by railway. The ores are
of low percentage, but in greater available quantity
than at any other mina in the world. The price to
be paid for the property, including seven furnaces,
tramways, and plant, is £120,000, of which
£40,000 is to be in shares and £BO,OOO in cash.
At the half-yearly muting to-day of the share-
holders of the London Dock Company, an increased
dividend of lt, or £1 15s, per cent. for the past six
Months was ordered to be paid,

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this morning (at:cordiog to
Mr. Reuter's telegram) the Three per Cent. Rentes
Were quoted at 66f. 70c. Rather firm.
The Market to-day for the English Funds has
presented a rather active appearance. The improve-
ment of about I per cent. yesterday induced a num-
ber of operators to come forward and effect sales,
Which at one time sent Consols down but they
again show a slight recovery, and the quotations
are 91 j for money and the 7th inst., and 918 1
for the February account. The New Threes and
Billseuced Annuities are 903 911; Exchequer
2s.
4 dia.; India 5 per Cents., 1061 1 ; and do.
per Cents., 1001.
There is a decidedly firmer tone in the Foreign
Market, and business is rather active. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1862, are um ;
do. Consolides, 471 a ;
Mexican,
34i37 ; Greek, 241 ; Spanish Passive,
; do. Certificates, 14 a ; Peruvian, 85/ 86 ;
Portuguese, 471 ; and the Confederate Loan,
40.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
veer, limited,e,, and prices have, in severe! instances,
-r7uited less firmness. London, Chatham, and
(B
verl South Western, Midland, and North Eastern
tuervvi,a.,
'4) have declined 55.. and South Wales 10s.
Metropolitan, however, have improved 55., and
"u•ch Eastern 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings continue
Without material alteration in value.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in
liraited favour. Metropolitan and Provincial have
improved to 221 231 ; Imperial Bank to 24i ; and
Bank of Wales to 11 ; National Shipping Com-
pany are quoted 8 to 1 prem.; Pacific Steam 2 to
24-, prem. ; Contract Corporation, 21 3 prem.
