MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

The bullion operations at the Bank of England
yesterday, inciuded the withdrawal of 186,000
sovereigns, and £82,000 in foreign coin, on account,
it is presumed, of the Bank of France. Further
supplies are expected to follow, and as silver is re-
quired for India there is some apprehenson of an
adverse specie movement that will prevent the in-
creasing easiness that was generally, expected to
ensue in the general discount market. Indeed,
symptoms of greater firmness are already mani-
fested, and 61 instead of 61 per cent. is the current
figure at which the mercantile public can get their
last three mouths' bills negotiated.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
thero was an advance in the rates on Amsterdam.

The Syria, which left yesterday, took out £133,640
in gold for Alexandria; and £65,900 in gold, and
£411,371 in silver, for Bombay.
The Armenian, from the coast of Africa, has
brought £4,375.

The Mexican dollars by the last packet have
been sold for China at 58. 2d. per ounce—showing
a rise of Id. compared with the price obtained for
the previous supply.

Mr. W. N. Rudge has zealously collected
upwards of £6OO on the Stock Exchange for the
National Lifeboat Institution. The lifeboats rescued,
during the storms of last year, 417 shipwreeked
persons on our coasts.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse to-day (according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram), the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
66f. 70e.—Heavy.
The market for the English Funds became ex-
ceedingly depressed late yesterday afternoon when
it was known that so large a quantity of gold had
been taken from the Bank of England to send
abroad. This morning a little better feeling pre-
vailed, and Consols were 901 j for transfer,
and 91 i for the account, but this tendency to
renewed firmness was not prolonged. Sales being
subsequently negotiated sent the quotations down
respectively to 908 4 908 91. There is manifestly
a very unfavourable impression regarding the effect
that may be produced by the demand for gold on
continental 'aceolnt, and for silver to send to the
East. The probability is recognised of such a
movement as will reproduce unsatisfactory results,
which were productive of so much stringency two
or three months ago. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 908 ; Exchequer Bills, par to 4
prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1061 ; and do. Bonds,
49. prem.

General depression has prevailed in the Foreign
Market, and business is rather quiet. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1862, are 67 ; do. Consolides, 461 ;
Greek, 23i a ; Spanish Passive, 331 1 ; do. Certifi-
cates, 13k- ; Mexican, 354. ; Portuguese, 474 ;
and the Confederate Loan, 38 40.
In the Railway Share Market there has been
very little animation, and prices generally have
exhibited a further downward movement. Great
Northern receded £1 10s. ; Metropolitan, £1; North
Western, 108; and Great Eastern, Midland, and
South Eastern, ss. North Eastern (Berwick) have
improved 108.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit
little change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have remained
inactive. Imperial Ottoman realise 171; London
and Brazilian 561 ; Oriental Bank 601 t; Hudson's
Bay Company have declined to 168 ; National
Shipping Company are quoted 1 -1 dis. ; Australian
Shipping Company 11 1 prem. ; Mauritius Credit
171- 2. prem. ; and Anglo-Italian Bank 1 la prem.

the Poor Law Board shows that the number of persons in
receipt of parish relief in England and Wales at the end of
November ♦vas 13.15 per cent. less than at Ihe same period
of 1862. In the North-Western division the decrease was
45.65 per cent.—from 296,996 to 161,431; but in November,

TRADE OF THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL.—A return

total value of the goods exported in 1863 was £65,178,451,

£14,714,982. The number of ships despatched during last

showing an increase of 214 in the number of ships es com-
pared with the year preceding,
