TXONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The rates for accommodation in the discount
Market remain very firm, and little business is ne-
gotiated out of doors below the cfficial rate, namely,
4 per cent. Under such circumstances, while the
bill brokers and joint•stock companies appear to
have a fair employment for the capital at their com-
mand, the greater bulk of the paper brought into the
market is taken to the authorities at the Bank of
England, where, in consequence, the amount of other
securities no doubt have been very cor.siderably
augmented. The demand is in a great measure
stimulated by the increased industry lately apparent
in the manufacturing districts, where orders from
all parts of the globe have poured in, and agents
have found some difficulty in fully executing their
large commissions.

The Delta has arrived from Alexandria with
£1,147.

During the last few days there has been very
little activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Tea has remained at full rates, while
rugar, coffee, and rice have exhibited no material
change in value. There has been a better inquiry
for tallow, chiefly for home consumption, and prices
have slightly improved for bath present and for-
ward delivery.

The Republic of Colombia (South America) is
seeking, through its fiscal agents in this country,
to raise a loan amounting to £200,000. The price
of issue is £B6 per bonds of £lOO, bearing an annual
interest of 6 per cent., commencing from the Ist
proximo. The payments can be made by instal-
ments, extending to April next, and the bonds are
to be redeemable at par in 10 years hence by the
operation of a sinking fund. The purposes
to which the money is to be applied are the con-
struction of roads, the improvement of the naviga-
tion of the river Magdalena, and the development
and promotion generallyof the commercial resources
of the country. For the due payment of the inte-
rest and the redemption of the principal, the Go-
vernment specially mortgages 15 per cent. of the
gross revenues of the salt mines, and hypothecates
in favour of the subscribers as an additional secu-
rity, the right it possesses to redeem within twelve
years the concession of the Panama Railway.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele-
gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 97c. to
68f. Oc. Very fiat.
The market for English Securities continues dull
and inanimate, and with the very little business
how daily transacted, Consols remain at one prioe
Without even a fractional alteration. The quota-
tions are therefore 93i f for money, and 930 I for
the account. The New Threes have improved to
924 I. but the Reduced Annuities are a little lower
at 911 99i. The Red Sea Telegraph Annuities are
21 1.16, and Exchequer Bills par to 3s. prem.; In.
dian Stock is 224; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 1081 f,-;
the Enfaced do., 1074; and the 4 per Cent. Deben-
tures, 100 Z-.

A general downward movement has taken place
in the value of the principal Foreign Stocks.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
dull, but prices have in some instances shown more
firmneos. London and Brighton, North-Western,
and Metropolitan have each improved 55., while
Great Northern have declined ss.
