MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is no further change to report in the geno-
-I'4l Money Market to-day. An easie► feeling, how-
ever, prevails, because the available supplies are
abundant, and the demands for commercial par-
Poses are moderate. An unfavourable feature at
the present moment is the continuous outflow of
gold, and this movement, which, it appears, is
likely to be maintained, precludes the expectation
of any material reaction in the rates of discount.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about £437,000, and the exports £532,000,
Which includes £5,890 taken out to-day by the
West India steamer Shannon.
The Continental Exchanges, yesterday afternoon,
Were, in most instances, rather higher.

The suspension has taken place of Messrs. Hol-
royd and Norton, icon merchcnts, of Laurence
Pountney-hill.

A dividend of 3, per cent. for the half-year,
Making 6 per cent. for the year 1862, will be pro-
posed at the ensuing meeting of the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company.

The first general meeting of the shareholders in
the Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool has
been convened for the 6th proximo.

Two o'CLocic.

The market for English Funds to-day has been
dull and heavy. Speculation is curtailed, but the
operators are effecting sales in preference to pur-
chases, and the quotations consequently tend down-
ward. Consols have been 921 for transfer, and 924
for the sth proximo. The New 3 per Cents. and
the Reduced have receved to 924 ; Exchequer
Bills 6s. to 10s. premium ; Bank Stock is flat at
235, and India7'ditto 227 and 229, and ditto 5 per
Cunt. Loan 1081 1.
Very little change can be reported in Foreign
Securities, and a fair amount of business has been
negotiated. Spanish Passive Bonds have been in
request, and have improved to 24 Q 25 ; ditto, Cer-
tificates, to 101 4; Greek are firm at 161 ; Italian
at 691 ; ditto, Railway Loan, at 73; Peruvian
Stock is 584; Portuguese New Loan, 468; Russian
ditto, 954 6 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, 85 6 ; do.,
1858, 704 711; ditto, 1862, 664 671; and the Con-
solides, 404 4 ; Venezuelan Loan, 614 4.
A heavy tone is again apparent in the Railway
Share Market, and prices have shown a downward
movement. Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton,
and North Western have declined ss. ; Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North Eastern (Ber-
wick) 10s.; and Great Northerns 55.; Bristol and
Exeter improved ss.
The British and American Exchange Bank
aharea are 54 6 prem.
The Foreign and Colonial lines were inactive
at about previous quotations,

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
exhibited, in one or two instances, a slight improve-
ment, Bank of Australasia advanced to 781 ; Lon-
-4011 and Westminster to Bli ; Red River Loan rea-
lised 54 ; and National Discount Company, 8/
