MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The applications this morning for discount ac-
commodation in the general market have been
rather numerous. The feeling of uncertainty
which continues to prevail regarding the issue
of events at the end of the present week, is still
shown by the bill brokers refusing to make any
concession for the negotiation of best description of
three months' paper.
A new 3 per Cent. Loan has been announced by
Messrs. Stern Brothers for Portugal. The amount
is £2,500,000, but only £1,500,000 is to be sub•
scribed for, as £1,000,000 has been already privately
placed, and £250,000 reserved for Portugal. The
bonds are to be issued in sums of £lOO and £5OO
each, and the price is £4B, payable in seven instal-
ments up to June next, but if payments in full are
made the price is reduced to 46k, reckoning 1 per cent.
for discount, and 1 per cent. for overdue interest.
The bonds are to " bearer," and the interest is pay-
able half-yearly, in January and July in each year,
in London and Paris. The money is to be specially
applied to the completion of railway and public
roads authorised by the Cortes, and as the proceeds
will remain in England for purchasing the neces-
sary materials, the operation will not produce any
adverse effect, such as would be the case if
gold were to be exported. Portugal is already
reaping largely of the seed she has sown
by the greater development of her resources
within the past few years, and the faith all classes
in the kingdom now place in her Government. The
increase in the revenue which must follow the open-
ing up of new sources of agricultural and mineral
wealth, mill materially assist the Government in
equalising their stock more with the price of the
other favourite foreign loans.
The bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday
comprised an influx of £12,000 in bar gold, and a
withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts for
the past week were generally of a satisfactory cha-
racter. At Manchester there was a fair amount of
business transacted in both cloths and yarns, at
fully late rates. The woollen trade of Leeds,Brad-
ford, and Huddersfield remained moderately active
for this time of year. In the hosiery and lace de-
partments of Leicester and Nottingham more anima-
tion prevailed; while in the hardware districts of
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton a fur-
ther improvement was apparent in most depart-
ments.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rsuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 32c. to 67f. 35c.—Rather firm.

Affairs in the Market for the English Funds con-
tinue in the same inactive state as for some time
past. Speculation is dormant, and Foreign Stocks
and new schemes engage the attention of investors.
Consols are 93 IT for money, and 9311 for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 911 ;
Exchequer Bills, ls. prem. ; India 5 per Cents.,
1091 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 1004 ; ditto Enfaced 5
per Cents., 1071 ; ditto 54 per Cents., 1061.
The Foreign Market to•day presents a firmer
appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 711 ;
do., Consolides, have improved to 534 a ; Greek to
301 4 ; do., Coupons, to 14a Spanish Passive to
371 ,1-; do., Certificates, 141 4 ; the Internal Pas-
sive to 311 32 ; Portuguese are 488 49 ; Russian,
931 2 ; the Confederate Loan is 65 67 ; and the New
Portuguese, 11 4 prem.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been on a rather limited scale, and prices have re-
mained without changeof importance. Lancashire
and Yorkshire, and Midland have advanced 55.;
and London and Brighton, 10s., white North
Western and South Western have each declined 1.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings continue
dull at previous quotations.
Bank Shares are in fair request, without, how-
ever, any material alteration in values. India Land
Mortgage is quoted 3k 1-, prem. ; and East London,
t- prem.

In the Miscellaneous Market there is little
change. London Financial shares realise 15i ; Ge-
neral Credit, 41 8 ; and Discount Corporation shares
are quoted 9,1 prem.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The demand for English wheat in the country markets
held on Saturday, was very inactive, at barely stationary
prices. In barley, a moderate business was transacted, at
the late decline in its value. Oats, beans, and peas were
dull, and, in some instances, rather cheaper. Flour moved
off slowly, on former terms.
On the continent the corn trade generally is very quiet,
at barely late rates. At New York good and fine wheat
and flour are in fair request, for export, at full prices.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week,
were very moderate, The imports from abroad comprised
23,518 quarters of wheat, 16,626 barley, 45,608 oats, 3,574
beans, 700 peas, 400 tares, 9,232 linseed, 4,315 oilseeds, 800
maze, 607 sundry seeds, 620 sacks and 1,783 barrels of
flour,
Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were of limited extent, but most samples were re-
ceived in good dry condition, and the quality of the produce
was firm, The continuance of full average receipts of
wheat and flour from foreign parts produced a sluggish
trade for all qualities, yet compared with Monday last no
quotable change took plate in prices. At the doss of busi •
ness a fair clearance had been effected.
With foreign wheat the market was extensively supplied.
Millers operated to a very moderate extent in most descrip•
tions, at the rates current this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former
terms.

The supply of barley—both English and foreign—was
by no means extensive ; indeed, the show of home-grown
produce was rather limited. Owing to the mildness of the
weather, malting qualities moved off heavily at the late de-
cline in prices. Grinding and distilling qualities met a
slow sale at last Monday's currency.
All kinds of malt sold heavily, at about previous rates.
The supply of foreign oats on offer was large, and the
show of home-grown parcels was moderately extensive.
For good and fine corn the trade was tolerably firm, at late
currencies. Inferior produce, however, was very dull.
Beans were in fair supply and show request, at a further
reduction in prices of is per quarter.
In the value of peas we have to report a fall of is per
quarter. The show of samples was very moderate, and the
trade dull.

The supply of American flour was large, and secondary
qualities were difficulty of sale. Town and country made
qualities ruled stationary in price; but the demand was in
a sluggish state.
