MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The demand for accommodation in the money
market to-day is very moderate, and there is little
business at the Discount Office of the Bank of Eng-
land.

The Arabia, from America, has brought £22,300
in specie.
Tenders are invited by the Agents General for
Crown Colonies for a Cape of Good Hope 6 per
Cent. Debenture Loan of £29,500.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
are for the past week satisfactory, although busi•
nese operations were in a great measure suspended,
Owing to the intervention of the Christmas holidays.
At Manchester prices have remained firm for both
cloths and yarns. The woollen trade of Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield has continued active,
while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhamp-
ton the operatives have been fairly employed.

Two o'CLocx.

The Liverpool cotton market to-dcy opened
strong, with an active business doing, at steady
rates, and sales probably 5,000 bales.

The French Three per Cent. Rentes to-day were
opened at 70f. 65c., being an advance of rather
more than id. per cent, since Saturday.
There has been a meeting to-day of the share-
holders of the Union Bank of Australia. The re-
port, which was unanimously adopted, stated that
a net profit of £82,547 was available for distri-
bution, and a dividend of 8 per cent. for the half-
year was declared.

Speculation continues extremely dull in the
market for the English Funds, and the operations
of the public as investors are yet too limited to
create animation. Nevertheless the quotations are
Well supported owing to the favourable position of
Monetary affairs, and the quietude of continental
Politics. Consols remain at 928 for transfer and
the Bth instant, and 924 for February 10.
The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced have im-
proved to 928 4 ; Exchequer Bills are 12s. prem. ;
Bank Stock is firmer at 2331 235; and India 5 per
Cent. Loan, 1081.

The most prominent feature in the Foreign
Market has been a further decline in Turkish Con-
solides, viz., to 381 1, in consequence of renewed
sales. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are fiat at 84
85 ; ditto 1858, 701 71; ditto 1862, 671 1;
Egypian are steady at 951 ; ditto,
second issue, firmer at 941 95 ; Greek, at 161 ;
Mexican, 32; Portuguese New Loan, 461 471;
Russian ditto, 952. #; anclYenezuelan Scrip, 11 dis.
In the Railway Share Market business continued
very dull, and prices exhibited little variation of
importance. North Westerns and North Eastern
Ber wicks receded about 55., while most of the other
lines, dealt in brought previous rates.
The foreign and colonial undertakings were in
moderate request, without any material change in
value. Sambre and Meuse brought 9! 8 ; Bahia
and San Francisco, 201 ; Recife and San Francisco,
18%; Bombay and Baroda, 1041 1; East Indian,
1071 ; Great Indian Peninsula, 1051; and Great
Western of Canada declined to 121 121.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares were
Without material variation. Alliance of London
and Liverpool realised 20; London Chartered of
Australia, 278 ; London and South African, 241 ;
Ottoman Bank declined to 321 33; and Union of
Australia to 521 1 ; Crystal Palace stock receded to
351; and Royal Mail Steam brought 551.
