MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLOCk.
There is still a good inquiry for accommodation
in the general money market, preparations still
being made for meeting the commercial bills due
to-morrow,' the 4th. The a4e for first class paper
is therefore maintained at 6 per cent,, very few
exceptions being reported at 55 per cent.
A special general meeting of the Intercolonial
Royal Mail Steampacket Company was held to day.
The report recommended the creation of 37,500 new
£lO shares, and represented the affairs of the com-
pany to be in a most prosperous state.
The biddings for 40,00,000 rupees (£400,000) in
bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of
England, and the following are the official particu-
lars :—The proportions allotted were, to Calcutta,
22,00,000 rupees; to Bombay, 16,00,000 rupees ;
and to Madras, 20,00,000 rupees. The minimum
price was, as before, is 1113 per rupee on Calcutta
and Madras, and is 114 d on Bombay. The appli-
cations within the limits amounted to 237 lets.
Tenders on Calcutta at is llid will receive about
11 per cent. ; on Madras at 2s about 44 per cent ;
and all above these prices in full.
The directors of the Credit F.ncier have brought
forward a new companion institution to their own,
entitled the Credit Mobilier. The former company
is purely for making investments in landed secu-
rities, while the latter will be entirely devoted to
financial transactions, and will, therefore, cooperate
with other monetary and industrial undertakings,
negotiate Government and municipal loans, aid in
carrying out concessions, make advances to con-
tractors for English and foreign railways, and other
public works, and lend money on approved securi-
ties. The capital required is £1,000,000, but the
first is only to consist of half that amount in shares
of £5O each, which are now quoted 26 3 premium.
The last week's raimay receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are, in round figures, as under:--

At the Pfris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 66f.
42c.—Flat. _ _

The Stock Exchange Markets opened this morn-
ing with a very general appearance of depression,
and a few sales following close upon each other
sent the English Funds down 4- per cent. Nothing
new of a political or monetary character has since
occurred to occasion the heaviness now perceptible,
but speculators nevertheless, seem to possess but
little confidence in the ability of the present English
Government to bring about a successful issue of
the Dan° German difficulty. Consols are 91 for
money, and 91 s for the account. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 89! ; Exchequer
Bills, ss. die. to par; and India 5 per Cents., 104/ if.
Foreign Stocks have not varied to any material
extent, and business has been quite. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 691 9 ; do. Consolides, 501 ;
Mexican, 434. ; Spanish Passive, 351 ; do. Cer-
tificates, 14 / ; Greek, 22t 23 ; Portuguese, 48i tl ;
Russian, 836 89; and Italian, 66a a.
In the Railway Share Market a heavy tone has
prevailed, prices generally showing a downward
movement. North-Western, Metropolitan, and
Midland have declined 10s., and Great Northern,
Great Western, and London and Blackwall, £l.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain
without change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous shares are generally
shade bitter.
