ONE Y MARKET

AND
CONWERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The discount market is firm to-day, the inquiry
for accommodation having been a little more press-
mg. The settlement at the Stock Exchange has
partly occasioned the activity now noticeable, but
there is no doubt that the uncertain and unsatisfac-
tory state of affairs at Paris is the principal cause,
and a more cauti ins policy is, therefore, adopted
.c ,
here. Three months' bills are negotiable at %-
per cent, and it is only in exceptionable instances
that the concession to 3-1- per cent. is granted.
The Bank of England Return for the week to
Wednesday last shows changes which are not of
great importance. The decrease, which has taken
place !n the reserves of gold is partly negatived by
the reduction effected in the circulation of notes, as
well as in the discount business of the establish-
ment. Subjoined is our usual analysis

Messrs. Lenox, Nephew, and Co.'s, of London, and
Mr. 'Tames Pim, of Burgh-quay, Dublin, have
joined the board of the Mercantile Credit Company.

the close to 125,000, whereas 10,000 only are to be
allotted.

The Metropolitan and Provincial Bank have
made a call of £5 per share on both issues, payable

tance of £l,lOO on account of the dividend on the
debt of Ecuador.

The alleged charges against four brokers of the
Stock Exchange for carrying on speculative trans-
actions for a clerk in a mercantile firm, contrary to
the rules of the house, have been adjudicated by
the committee of that establishment. One of the
parties was honourably acquitted of all blame, two
others were censured for not using greater precau-
tion, and the complaint against the fourth ad-
journed for further investigation.
The operations on the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets during the last few days have been
moderately active. Sugar has fully supported pre-
vious rates. Coffee and rice has been in fair
request, while in cocoa, fruit, and spices there has
been no material change to record in values. The
tallow market has been more active, and quotations
of P.Y.C. for both present and forward delivery
exhibit an upward tendency.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 05c. Very firm.

The English Stock Market exhibits great inac-
tivity and heaviness. The depressed state of the
Rentes, and the incertitude respecting the Bank of
France adds to the flatness inseparable from the
transacting of only a limited business. Consols are
93 k for money and account. Tne New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 911 4; and Exchequer
Bills are ls. dis. to 2s. prem. ; India Stock is 224;
the 5 per Cent. Loan continues at 1091 4 ; the 4
per Cent. Loan, 1001; the Enfaced Paper, 1064;
and the Bonds are 225. prem.
In the Foreign Market there is no new feature
of importance, and business is not very active.

More animation has prevailed in the Railway
Share Market, and !prices have, in most instances,
shown an upward movement. Caledonian and
South Western have improved ss. ; West Midland,
London, Chatham and Dover, Midland, and South
Eastern, 10s. ; Great Northern, £2, and ditto A
Stock, £1 10s.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain at abon
