MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The position of the Discount Market this morn-
ing presents a more satisfactory state of affairs.
Bill brokers and others appear more anxious to ob-
tain business than for several days past, and are
consequently offering to negotiate securities upon
easier terms. Thus, for instance, the best mercan-
tile paper of three months' date may be negotiated
a fraction under the official minimum of 4 per cent.,
but that rate is still quoted as the general charge.
The amount of specie to be conveyed by the Ripon,
which leaves to-day for India and China, is £202,034,
principaliy silver.
During the last few days there has been more
activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. The demand for sugar for home con-
sumption has slightly increased, and good and fine
qualities have fractionally advanced. Coffee has
continued in fair reqnest, without material change
as regards prices. For rice there has been an
active demand chiefly for export, while the opera-
tions in tea have only been limited consequent upon
the large quantity about to be brought forward at
the next public sales. Fruit has been dealt in to a
limited extent, while the public sale of indigo have
proceeded with cmsiderable animation, enhanced'
rates being realised in most instances. The tallow
market has also shown a more active appearance,
and quotations for both present and forward
delivery tend upwards; P.Y.C., on the spot, is
marked 455., and spring delivery 465. to 465. 6d.
per cwt.

The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed
Friday next for a special settlement in the shares
of the London, Hambargh, and Continental Ex-
change Bank, dealings in which are to be daily
reeorded.

At the annual general meeting of proprietors of
the Union Steamship Company held to-day—Mr.
A. Anderson in the chair•—the report stated that
the arrangement for continuing the mail service
between the Cape of Good Hope and Natal have
not yet been concluded, but the steamers Norman
and Dane have been for the past eight months run..
ning between those colonies with the mails, under
a temporary agreement with the Natal Government.
The accounts showed a small increase in the receipts
for freight and passage-money during the past year.
A dividend of £1 per share for the last half year,
and also a bonus out of last year's earnings, under
the late postal contract, of 10s, per share.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f 45c to 67f 37c. Firm—subsequently heavy.
The English Stock Market has been very dull,
but steady. The transactions, although exceedingly
limited, are nevertheless sufficient in amount to
maintain prices. Consols have remained at 93 I for
money, and 93} 1 for the account. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are buoyant at 914 I; Ex-
chequer Bills are steady at 2s die. to is prem. ;
Bank Stock is 233 2354 ; India Stock, 224 226; the
to per Cent. Loan, 109 4 ; the 4 per Cent. do., 1004 ;
and 5 per Cent. Enfaced paper, 1071,
In the Foreign Department today, although
business is quiet, there is more buoyancy. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1858, are 701 71 ; ditto, 1862, 714 4 ;
ditto, Consolides, 534 ; Mexican, 414 4 ; Greek,
314; do., Coupons, 144 15; Spanish Passive 36t ;
do., Certificates, 144 4 ; Portuguese, 484 49 ; Rus-
sian, 931 ; Egyptian, 1004 to 101. The Confede-
rate Loan is 65 67 ; the New Portuguese, 4 14
prem. ; and the Colombian 1 die. to par.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been of the most limited description, and prices
have not varied to any considerable extent. North
Western have improved about 55., while Great
Western and South Western have declined ss.

For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been a very limited inquiry, at about previous
quotations.

Bank Shares continue inactive. London and
Westminster have declined to 791 ; and National
of Liverpool have improved to 19i ; London and
Buenos Ayres are steady, at 531 1; and Union of
London, at: 38 India Loan Mortgage Bask
shares are quoted 3 to 31 prem. ; Anglo-Austrian,
to prem.; and East London, 4to 41 prem.

In the Miscellaneous Market there is no
change. International Financial Shares ' realise
10k I; London Financial shares, 15k 1; and
Discount Corporation are quoted 9 to 9, prem.
