MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK,

Business in the Discount Market has been some-
what impeded by the uncertainty felt regarding
tho policy the Bank of England directors may
pursue at their meeting to-day. The general im-
pression seems to be that no immediate change
will be made, in the meanwhile a certain degree of
reserve is manifested, and the rates are almost
nominal.

A further sum of £48,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The biddings for £300,000 in balls on India took
place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro-
portions allotted were—to Calcutta £160,000, to
Bombay £120,000, and to Madras £20,000. The
minimum price declared was, as before, ls. 111 d.
per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and ls.
Bombay. The applications within the limits
amounted to £3,170,000. Tenders un Calcutta, at
1.11 d., will receive about 30 per cent.; on Bonn.
bay, at 25., about 6 per cent.; on Madras, at
ls. 114 d., about 93 per cent.; and all above these
prices in full.

The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

shire and Yorkshire of L 2,160; on the North

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rsuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f 00c to 67f 05c. Inanimate.

At a general meeting to-day of the proprietors
of the Oriental Bank Corporation—Mr. H. G. Gor-
don in the chair—an ad interim dividend of /a 15s.
per stare, or at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum
was declared payable on the 2d November next.
Dulness is still the principal feature of the mar•
ket for the English Funds, foreign stocks and new
schemes engaging almost the exclusive attention of
the investing classes. After the official hours of
business yesterday Consols receded to 92i
93-1- for money, and to 93 g for account. The
present quotations, however, show a recovery to
93 k for money, and to 939 4 for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced are 94,1; Exchequer
Bills are is. dis. to 2s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents.,
1094 ; and Enlaced ditto, 1073.
Increased buoyancy prevails in the Foreign
Market, and business is rather active. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1862, are 711 ; ditto, Consolides,
On, 1; Greek, 3011 31; do., Coupons, 141 ; Spanish
Passive, 35;i b ; do. Internal, 304 31 ; do., Certifi•
Cates, 13i 1-; Mexican, 424 4; Portuguese, 49 1;
do. New Loan, I 14 prem. ; the Brazilian Loan, 1 1
prem.; the Confederate Loan, 64 66 ; Italian, 724 4;
and Russian, 921, 934.
The dealings its the Railway Share Market have
been extremely limited, and prices have been fur.
ther depressed. North-Eastern (Berwick) and
South-Eastern have declined Os.; Brighton, and
London, Chatham, and Dover, 10s.; and Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln, and Metropolitan, 15s. ;
while Great Eastern and Lancashire and York-
shire have improved ss.
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings prices
continue without change of importance.
Bank Shares are dull. London and Middlesex
have declined to 71. Alliance of London and
Liverpool are steady at 45 ; Imperial Alliance at
184 4. India Land Mortgage shares are quoted 3
to 34 prem.; Anglo-Austrian, par to 4 pram; and
East London, 31 45 prem.

In the Miscellaneous Market General Credit and
Finance shares are at 5 ; London Finance at 151 i ;
Hudson Bay at 81; and Discount Corporation at
131; 91 pre®.
