MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market continues quiet and steady,
the supply of bills on offer being moderate.
The biddings for 40,00,000 rupees in bills on
India took place yesterday at the Bank of Eng-
land. The proportions allotted were—To Calcutta,
18,90,000 Rs. ; to Bombay, 19,50,000 Re.; and to
Madras, 1,60,000 Rs. The declared minimum price
was as before—ls. 111 d. per rupee on Calcutta, and
2s. on Bombay and Madras. The applications,
within the limits, were for about 140 lam Tenders
on Calcutta, at 25., will receive about 85 per cent*
on Bombay, at 25., about 14 per cent., and above
that price in full ; and on Madras, at 2s. in full.
The Yorkshire, from Australia, has arrived, with
£303,636 in specie.
At the forthcoming meeting of the Scottish Aus-
tralian Investment Company, a dividend at the rate
of 10 per cent. per annum will be proposed.
The Bank of Wales is a new monetary establish-
ment, instituted with a view of supplying more
accommodation to the mercantile and agricultural
classes of the principality, whose continuous and
increasing development of native wealth demands a
corresponding expansion of financial facilities. The
means of the present banks in North and South
Wales are said to be restricted, and the directors
believe that with:a larger capital at their command,
and the influence of their connection, success must
attend their efforts. The directors have,moreover,en-
tered into negotiations for the purchase of private
banking establishents, so that they will in all proba-
bility be enabled not only to commence operations
immediately, but also to promise a dividend at no
very distant date. The chief officer for the manage-
ment of the undertaking will be in London, and
branches are to be established in all the principal
towns of Wales. The nominal capital of the bank
is to be £1,000,000, one-half of which is to form
the first issue in shares of £lOO each. The project
has been favourably received on the Stock Exchange,
and the shares are to 2 prem.

Notice has been given by Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad (Eastern Division) Company that the pay-
ment of interest on the Trustees' Mortgage Certifi-
cates of the company will be commenced on the Ist
proximo. It will, no doubt, be highly satisfactory
to the shareholders to learn from this announce-
ment that the long-continued embarrassments of
the undertaking are so far overcome, and it will be
an additional gratification to know that the suc-
cess attending the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway will materially assist in the attainment of
the same object.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under :

1863. 1862.
Great Western £49,161 £47,122

Bristol and Exeter
North-t astern 36,190 34,826
Great Southern and Western of Ireland 7,324 7,035
Edinburgh and Glasgow
These returns are generally of a satisfactory
character. On the Great Western there is an in-
crease of £2,039 ; on the North-Western, £4,482 ;
on the South-Western, £1,264; on the Brighton,
£965 ; on the Midland, 2,388 ; on the South-

Two O'CLOCK.
There has been a quiet market to-day for the
English Funds, and the small amount of business
negotiated has not occasioned the slightest altera-
tion in prices, Consols being 921 2 for transfer, and
928 d for the account. The New 3 per Cents. and
the Reduced remain at 921 ; Exchequer Bills are
rather firmer at ss. to Bs. prem. ; Bank Stock is
235; and India 5 per Cents. remain at 1081 I.
In the Foreign department no material alteration
has occurred, and business continues rather quiet.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are flat at 702 ; do.,
1862, at 662 ; and the Consolides, 40k 1 ; Egyptian
have improved to 951 96; do., 2d issue, to 95/
Greek to 16k 17; Italian to 69/ 70; Peruvian, 1862
is heavy at 87/ ; Portuguese, do., at 46f ; Russian,
do., firm at 96; Spanish Passive are 248 ; do., Cer-
tificates, 91 ; and Venezuelan 6 per Cents., 60i.
Business in the Railway Share Market continued
dull, and prices, in most instances, have shown less
firmness. Great Western, Lancashire and York-
shire, North Western, South Western, and North
Eastern (Berwick) have declined ss. ; while South
Eastern improved 10s. ; and London and
Brighton, £l.
The Foreign and Colonial lines were without
change of importance as regards prices.
