MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The discount market continues firm and active.
The minimum quotation is 4 per cent. at the Bank
of England, as well as in other channels, and for
the moment the tendency is towards greater
stringency.
A company has been formed, with a proposed
capital of £120,000 in *hares of £lO each, the first
issue to be for half that amount, and two-thirds
of which has been already subscribed, for the

London Tavern, Bishopsgate•street. The direc-
tors have entered into a provisional agree-
ment with the present proprietor for the purchase
of the goodwill, stock in trade, &c., for £30,000,
upon which he guarantees a minimum dividend of
10 per cent, for the three years. The company
has the option of purchasing the freehold, or leasing
he property at a fair rental. There are no pro-
motion fees.

A special general meeting of the shareholders of
the Universal Club and Permanent Exposition
Company was held yesterday.when it was resolved
to change the name of the company to that of the

directors to make advance on consignments.

As usual on Saturday, the English Stock Market
hes been particularly dull. Speculation has been
almost suspended, and the bona fide dealings have
been too limited to impart the least animation.
Consols were 931 d for transfer, and 937 1 for the
account--the prices at which they closed with a
heavy aspect the previous afternoon.
Continued quietude has prevailed in the Foreign
Market to-day, but the principal movement has
been in the Confederate Loan, which has risen to

have been very limited, and in several instances
prices have shown rather less firmness. Metropo-
litan have receded about 10s., North British 10s.,
and South Eastern, 108.; while Great Western have
Unproved about 58.
The Foreign and Colonial lines generally main-
tain about previous rates.

Shares are quoted 14 8 ; Hudson's Bay Com-
pany,
