WIONE X MARKET

AND
COMMERCTAT. INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
The Discount Market remains in the same un-
altered condition as far the past fortnight. The
demand continues active, aad 3.1 4 per cent. are the
quotations for the best descriptions of mercantile
three
months' paper. The rates in the open market
thus approaching the level of the official minimum
aro the consequence of a good inquiry prevailing at
the Bank of England.
A further sum of £57,000, in gold, was taken
into the Bank yesterday.
The bar silver by the West India packet has
been so;d at 53. yd. per oz. standard.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
Piinted the 11th inst. to be a special settling day
in the shares of the London and African Trading
Company, after which the transactions are to be
recorded in the official lists.

Daring the last few days there has been very
little business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Tea has remained dull at previous rates,
while sugars have given way about 63. per cwt.
Rice, coffee, fruit, and spices have been in steady
request, but a further decline has taken place in
tallow for both present and forward delivery, the
quotations being, spot 422., and last three months
428. 6d, per cwt.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
69f. 10c. Very flat.
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the London
General Omnibus Company, the report, which re-
commended the payment of a dividend at the rate
of five per cent. per annum, free of income tax, was
unanimously adopted. The profit made during the
half year amounted to Lk 5,349, and the balance at
the disposal of the directors was 120,153.
Very little business has been transacted to day in
the market for the English Funds, which, however,
notwithstanding the prevailing inactivity continue
extremely firm. The quotations for Consols are
93i 4 for money, and 934 94 for the Bth proximo.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 92/
the Thirty Years' ditto, 14/ ; Bank Stock is marked
240, and Exchequer Bills are par. The India 5
Per Cent. Loan is 10814, and the 51 per Cent. En-
faced Paper, 116/ 117.
Foreign Securities continue to attract attention,
and a further decided rise has taken place in the
value of the principal speculative stocks. Turkish 6
Per Cents., 1858, have improved to 70/ ; ditto,
1862, to 71, 711; ditto, Consolides, 53i 54k ; Greek,
to 3821; ditto Coupons, to 181 4 ; Spanish Pas-
"e) to 35/ ; ditto Certificates, to 13k 4 ; Mexican to
43i; the Confederate Loan to 291, 281 die; Portu-
guese are 497- ; and Venezuelan. 581 k.
In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been very limited; prices, however, have exhibited
more firmness. Caledonian, Brighton, North-
Western, and Midland have each improved about
6a-, and Metropolitan and South-Eastern 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change
of importance, Great Luxemburg being quoted
142 ',13; South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian,
222 ; East Indian have declined to 1081 ; and
Madras 5 per Cents. have improved to 107/ 108/.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally re-
main without material alteration in prices. Alli-
ance of London and Liverpool have improved to
39k 40k ; Imperial Ottoman to 19/ B ; London atd
Brighton to 45; Q ; Hudson's Bay Company shares
are quoted 9/ ; International Financial, 106 11 ;
and London Financial, 121 13.
