MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In th 2 general discount market to-day the opera-
tons are conducted on rather an extensive scale, and
ithe bankers and brokers still enforce full terms for
all the business they negotiate. The directors of
the Bank of England have held their usual weekly
court, and as expected have refrained from im-
mediate action with regard to the minimum quo-
tation, although the opinion pre` ails that the period
is not far distant when a reduction to the extent of
I- per cent. may be consistently adopted.
A further sum of £64,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The Ripon, which conveys the Calcutta and
China mails on the 4th, will take out £105,690 in
silver, and £7 491 in gold, besides medals and clasps,
valued. at £lO,BOO.
The Sasonia has brought £22,389 in specie.
The biddinga for 40,00,000 rupees (.£400,000) in
bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank
°f England. The proportions allotted were—to
Calcutta, 22,70,000 rupees ; to Bombay, 16,00,000
rupees ; to Madras, 1,30,000 rupees. The de-
clared minimum price was as befor® Is. 1 lid. per
rupee on Calcutta, and ls. Il',-,d. on Bombay and
Madras. The applications within the limit amounted
to 295 lass. Tenders on Calcutta at Is. 110. will
receive about 41 per cent., on Bombay at ls. 1151.
about 85 per cent. All above these prices, and all
tenders on Madras, will receive in full.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

94 for the Bth proximo. The New Threes continue
Steady at 921 ; the Reduced Annuities at 921.
