XONII MARKET

AND
COXNERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The discount market continues in a stationary
position, With a good supply of money, a tolerably
active demand, and much uncertainty with regard
to the future course of events. Inquiries continue
to be made at the Bank of England for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether the minimum has been
altered ; but a better feeling now appears to pre-
b.eause the overflow of gold seems to have re-
ceived a check, and there are other symptoms
which, if further developed, will remove the
anxiety lately manifested.
During the last few days there has not been
mush animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce markets. Sugars, however, have fully sus-
tained late prices ; tea has been at steady rates;
while coffee, rice, and saltpetre have each slightly
declined. In the tallow market there has been very
little change, owing to an absence of speculative
business—quotations for both present and forward
delivery showing steadiness.
The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed
Thursday next a special settling day in the shares
of the following companies :--East London Bank
(Limited), to be marked ; Dartford Creek Paper
Mill Company (Limited), and New Mansfield Cop-
per and Silver Mining Company (Limited), not to be
marked. The committee have also ordered the
shares of the London and Lancashire Fire Insurance
Company to be marked in the twice a week list ; all
bargains to be arranged on the ordinary settling
days.

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this day, according to `Zr.
Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes
were 67f. 20c.

The proprietors of the London Dock Company
held a special meeting today, to consider the pro-
position for amalgamating their undertaking with
the St. Katharine Dock and Victoria Dock Com-
panies—Mr. Charles John Manning in the chair.
The arrangements, which were carried nem. con.,
'were to the effect that the amalgamated companies
be entitled the London and St. Katharine Dock
Company; that the shareholders of the London
and St. Katharine companies be admitted to
the new company upon equal terms; that
the capital consist of the aggregate amount
of the capital stocks of the two companies, that the
liabilities of the two companies. be assumed by the
amalgamated one, and that it be governed in the
first instance by a board of directors of the two
companies. The arrangement to be made with the
Victoria Dock Company were that the lessees
agreed to sell their docks, lands, &c., for £1,600,000,
to be paid in 4 per Cent. Debenture Stock of the
amalgamated company, producing £42,500 per
annum, the interest commencing from the Ist
January, 1865. The terms were fully accepted,
and authority given to apply to Parliament for the
necessary powers.

Little, it any, increase of business can be reported
in the market for the English Funds, which for the
moment attract only a limited share of public at-
tention either as a medium for speculation or in-
vestment. A few sales or purchases are sufficient to
influence the tendency of prices, and this morning,
va the appearance of vendors, indications of heavi-
ness became perceptible, although the amount of
stock disposed of was small, and quotations were
slightly depressed, Consols being 920 a for money,
and 918 1, less the dividend, for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities are flat at
01 Exchequer Bills were Bs. to 3s, clis: India 5
per Cents., 1081 ; do. 4 per Cents., 1001 ; Bank
stock is 235 237.

There is very little actual business doing in the
Foreign Market, the settlement of the account
engaging chief attention, and the tendency of prices
18 generally in an adverse direction. Turkish 6
Per Cents.,lB62, are 701- 4 ; do., Consolides 473. 48 ;
:Mexican, 381 d ; Greek, 30-1 4 ; do., Coupons, 14-I
15; Spanish Passive, 341 y ; do., Certificates, 131 4 ;
Portuguese, 484 4 ; do. New Scrip, 4 to 1 prem. ;
and the Confederate Loan, 59 61.
in the Railway Share Market the operation have
been of a very limited description. North Eastern,
North Western, and South Eastern have declined
ZS., and Metropolitan £2, while Lancashire and
-Yorkshire, and North Eastern (Berwick) have im-
proved ss.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings continue
very inactive, at barely previous quotations.
Bank Shares in some instances also show less firm-
ness. Imperial Ottoman have declined to 17/1 ;
Union of Australia to 571 ; Alliance of London and
Liverpool to 461-.
In the Miscellaneous Market General Credit
Shares are dealt in at 71 4 ; International Financial
at 9; 10; Swedish Bank Shares are quoted 4 to 41
prem. ; National Shipping, 41 to 5 prem.; and East
London, 3 to 3; prem.
