MONEY MARKET

AND
CODIXERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is a fair demand for money in the general
discount market this morning, and the tendency of
the rates is described as a shade easier. No quot-
able change, however, has taken place, and 3-; and
4
percent. are the general charges for first class
three months' bills.
The Bank of England return compiled to Wed-
nesday last shows few alterations of general im-
portance. The other securities, which represent
the discount operations of the authorities, have
been reduced, while the bullion, on the other hand,
exhibits only a small increase. Annexed are the
particulars:--

into the Bank yesterday.
The Hammon'ia, from New York, has brought
£3,285.
At a meeting of the creditors of William Shep-
pard, of Park Mills, Ware, miller and maltster, it
was resolved that Mr. Sheppard should execute a
deed of assignment for the benefit of his creditors,
and the following gentlemen were appointed
trustees—Millis Coventry, Henry Edward Wright,
and George Roffey.
The operations in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets during the last few days have been
rather extensive. Sugars have been in good de-
mand, at slightly enhanced prices, while coffee fully
sustained former values, and there has been an ad-
vance in the quotations of cocoa. At the public
sales of tea prices were about id. per lower, while
a dull tone has prevailed in the tallow market, the
rates tending downwards for present and forward
delivery.

Two O'CLOCK.
Nothing has occurred this morning to disturb
the quietude and inactivity now so long experiencd
in the market for the English Funds. Very little
real business is in progress, and speculators seem
adverse to operate to any material extent. Consols
remain at 933- 4 for money, and at 931 for the
account. The New Threes and Reduced Annui-
ties are 934 ; Bank Stock is 238 240; India 5
per Cent. Loan, 1083-1 ; the Enfaced 5 per Cent.,
1073-; and the Debentures, 100. Exchequer Bills
are Is. dis. to 2e. prem.

A firmer tone has prevailed in the Foreign
Market, and business is moderately active. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1858, are 72/ ; Ditto 1862, 681 69;
Ditto Consolides have risen to 491 50; Mexican
are 381 ; Spanish Passive, 341 ; Internal ditto,
27 271 ; Ditto Certificates, 121 211 ; Greek, 33/ 1 ;
Ditto Coupons, 151 16; Portuguese, 48-: 1 ; Egyp-
tian, 104 105; Russian, 921 93; Italian, 711 72;
and the Confederate Loan remains at 29 27 die.
The operations in the Railway Shale Market
have been moderately active, and prices have shown
an upward movement. North-Western and Mid-
land have improved 55.; North-Eastern (York)
and South-Eastern, 108. ; and Great Western, £l.
Great Eastern A Stock, however, has receded 53.
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
is no change of importance to record.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue inac-
tive, and few variations have been apparent in
values. Oriental Bank have declined to 54; Bank
of Australasia have improved to 771 ; Crystal
Palace Stock is quoted 401 1; Hudson Bay Cam-
pany Shares, 2Z; International Financial, 9; and
Credit and Finance, 31.

,ANADIAN FORESTS. A raft of white pine has
just reached this port, Consisting of
120 cribs each
24ft. in width by about 24ft in length; there are 2,000
pica's, averaging 100 cubic ft per piece. The raft covers 31
acres in area, and as a specimen of white pine it is as good
as any we have ever seen. The Hon. James Skead lately
average'
sent a raft of 1,100 pieces, averaging 120 ft. to Quebec., and
has now in port another of 93 cribs, or 1,674 pieces,
lug 73ft. This last raft has an area of over 2i sores, in-
deed, the number of rafts clearing from this port each year
if laid side by side would cover over 1,000 acres. Mr.
11Tracken brought down the Rideau a very fine raft of
white pine, one piece being 531 t long by 30in square, Con.
taining 331 cubic feet and weighing nearly tight tons.
Such are the wonders of the forest and the resources of the
Ottawa country.— Ottawa Union.
