MONEY MARKET.

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the general discount market the inquiry is
described as tolerably active, at previous quotations.
Notice has been given that the bonds of the Con-
federate Loan will be ready for delivery in ex-
change for the paid-up scrip on the 24th inst., and
that the half-year's interest on them will be pay-
able on the Ist prox.
The accounts from the various manufacturing
districts for the past week have generally been
satisfactory. A better inquiry has prevailed for
both cloths and yarns at Manchester, and prices
are sustained. The woollen trade of Leeds, Brad-
ford, and Huddersfield has been animated, owing
to the inquiries for autumn and winter goods. The
hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Not-
tingham have shown considerable activity, and in
the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton there has been considerable
activity in most departments.
Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 45c.
Rather firm.
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the
Bank of Australasia, Mr. H. C. E. Childers in the
chair, a dividend was declared for the past six
months, payable on the 13th proximo, at the rate
of 14 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. It
was stated that all the new £lO shares had been
allotted, with the exception of 245, which would be
placed upon the market in the customary way, and
the premium carried to the credit of the bank.

Nothing of importance has transpired to-day in
the English Stock Market, and the few dealings,
speculative and for immediate delivery, that have
been entered into have not resulted in any material
variation, Consols being 93 3 for transfer, and 931
for the account. The New Threes are marked 93 I;
the Reduced. 931 4 ; Exchequer Bills, is. dis. to
2s. prem.; India Stock, 224,1 ; and the 5 per Cent.
do., 108'_ _

In the Foreign Market there has been very little
change of importance, and business has continued
quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 68 1 ; Ditto
Conso'idea, 482 S ; Mexican, 381 ; Greek,
332 2 ; Ditto Coupons, 151 16 ; Spanish Passive,
341 f,-i; Ditto Certificates, 121 Italian, 71 1
Portuguese, 481 ; Egyptian, 1044 105; and the
Confederate Loan, 25 to 23 dis.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been extremely limited, and prices have generally
shown a downward tendency. Great Eastern A
stock has declined 10s, ; and Lancashire and York-
shire, ss, ; while North-Westerns have improved
10s., and South-Eastern, Lt.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
any material valuation.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are, in some in-
stances, a shade flatter. Alliance of London and
Liverpool have receded to 351 ; London and West-
minster have improved to 78 ; Union of London
realise 351 ; Crystal Palace Stock 40 to 40-1-; Hud-
son Bay Company 213 ; Oriental Inland Steam 3-1 ;
and Quebrada Land and Rail 3 to 3k.
