IYIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The discount market this morning is easier than
it was at the concluding hours of business yester-
day, when a reaction occurred, end S per cent. was
the lowest quotation for the best short-dated paper.
''ow, however, greater disposition is being evinced
by brokers and others to secure business, and the
".ciinimarn charge has fallen to 71 and 7i per cent.
the inquiry for accommodation is not very strong,
ttnd as the supplies of the open market are exces-
sive, and competition is excited, there are but com-
paratively few applications made at the Bank of
England.
A large portion of the Mexican dollars by the last
Packet have been sold at ss. ld. per oz., being 2-id.
below the price realised for the previous supply.
A first dividend of 10s. in the pound is now in
course of payment by the official manager of the
yerefordahire Banking Company, under the wind-
ing-up order in Chancery.
The dividend proposed at the meeting of share-
holders to-day of the Crystal Palace Company
amounted to 2 per cent. (2s. per share).
There was a slight downward movement in the
foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.
The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised an inflax of £27,000 in bar gold, and the
Withdrawal of 10,000 sovereigns for shipment to
Alexandria.
The Seine, from the West Indiee, has brought
X 320,000.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning (according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram) the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 66.40,
66.50 ex Coupon. Heavy.
During the earlier hours of business the tendency
°f prices in the market for the English Funds was
decidedly unfavourable, and a further decline of
1-16th was added to the depreciation experienced
Yesterday afternoon. Since then, however, pur-
chasers have come forward, and although their
operations have not been extensive, they have im-
Parted a firmer tone, and a recovery has ensued,
the latest prices being 908 4 for money, and 911- for
the account. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are now as low as 901 4 ; but India 5
per Cents. remain steady at 106.1, and the Enfaced
ditto at 104 ; India Bonds are 14s 6s. dis.; and
Exchequer Bills, 11s. to Gs. dia.

There has been a paucity of business in the
Foreign Market, and prices are depressed. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1862, are 701 4 ; ditto Cansolides, 45i
46k; Mexican, 334 4 ; Greek, 25: i; Spanish Pas-
sive, 324 I ; ditto Certificates, 124 13 ; Russian,
881 ; Peruvian, 851 86; and the Confederate
Loan, 36 38.

The agents of Messrs. Baring Brothers in
Venezuela advise that they have received 53,620
dole. for the dividends.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been limited, and prices have not varied to any im-
portant extent. Great Eastern, Midland, and
North-Eastern (Berwick) have improved 55.; while
Great Western have declined ss. ; Metropolitan
and South Eastern, 15s.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial markets
Continue very dull, without any material change as
regards prices.
In Bank and Miscellaneous shares there has
been very little animation. London and West-
Minster have improved to 79; ; Chartered of India,
Australia, and China to 334; London Joint Stock
to 371 ; Hudson Bay Company's shares have re-
ceded to 114 y ; Mercantile Credit to 8; and
Egyptian Trading Company to 34.
