MONEY MARKET

AND
CONMERCI&L INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The rates for money in the general discount
market remain firm, and a good inquiry has been
experienced this morning. The demand will no
doubt continue active till after the arrangements
have been completed for the liquidation of the bills
falling due on the 4th inst., when it is generally
considered that easier terms will prevail. Just now
the Bank of England is advancing money to the
discount houses, and this description of business
transacted by the authorities is presumed to be on
a rather large scale.
. _

About £95,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

_
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Canada
Agency Association, an interim dividend at the rate
of 20 per cent. per annum on the increased capital
Ras recommended by the directors to be paid.
The half-yearly meeting of the Railway Passengers
Assurance Company was also held to-day, and in-
terest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum was pro-
Posed to be paid. The revenue account for the past
fiiir months shows a total of £45,551, from which is
deducted compensations, &c., &c., bringing the
amount down to £21,280.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
68f 75c to 68f 65c—flat.

English Securities this morning have lost the
buoyancy they exhibited at the -close yesterday
evening. There is no doubt that the heaviness now
witnessed is due to a few sales rather than to any
other overt or unfavourable circumstances. In fact,
everything tends to keep up prices, and to impart
encouragement to speculators for a rise. Consols are
93! I for money and the Bth inst.,' and 931 for the
Bth proximo. The Reduced Annuities are firm at
92-7,1, ex. div_ ; and the New Threes are also steady
at 92 1, ex. div. ; the 5 per Cent. Annuities are
buoyant at 109; but the 30 Years' Annuities are
lower at 141; the 5 per Cent. India Loan remains
at 1084 ; and the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 108.
There is less annimation in the Foreign Market,
but prices are generally well supported. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1858, are 691 ex div. ; Ditto, 1862,
701 4 ; Ditto, Consolides, 82* ; Mexican, 391 ;
Greek, 37* 1,-; Ditto, Coupons, 18 ; Spanish
Passive, 34; 351 ; Ditto, Certificates, 49,1 ; Italian,
72* ; Ditto, IVlaremmana Railway Loan, 80;
Russian, 93; Egyptian, 1011 ex div. ; Peruvian,
871; and the Confederate Loan is 28 to 26 die. less
the dividend.
In the Railway Share Market there has been very
little business transacted, and the 'variations in
prices have not been important. North Western,
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North
Eastern (Leeds) have each improved about 55.,
While Great &stern, Great Western, and Midland
have declined 52., and Lancashire and Yorkshire,
10s,
The -Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit
Lci material change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally ex-
hibit a firmer tone. City Bank realise 101 102;
Imperial Ottoman, 19* International Financial
shares are 10.1 General Credit and Finance,
41i I ; and Hudson Bay Company, 94

that her Majesty's Mre mentioned on Thursday last
had, on the precelingpaddlesloop Geyser, Capt. Pt shell,
Ireland, with a view to day,ii been despatched to the coast of
ructoiok after" the Confederate ship
of war Florida, the cleat
of which off Kinsale
have been recorded. The doingsprotveescetri?an of British interests was,
'which, however,
of course, the object of the Geysers
bturned yesterday
has been unsuccessful, inasmuch ass sihabele°ll-:
rief cruise near
to Devonport, and reports that during
Queenstown and the south-western Irishr coast her officers
and crew have seen nothing of the Southerxntohre received
any information leading there to suppose that Florida
was still in those waters. It may therefore be
thit this "Will o' the Wisp"—lengthy accounts oPfrevrauhuiel
doing at Bermuda are now reaching us—has sheered offlo
other cruising ground, and will shortly turn up where least
Expected and desired by the Federal traders. Some discus-
sion had been excited at Bermuda by the fact that on. the
arrival of the Florida at the harbour of St. George in that
island, on July 16, she fired a salute, which was retttrned
by the English forts. This was construed by some into a
tacit recognition of the independence of the South. A.
strong Southern feeling seems to prevail in the island ; the
harbour is reported to be full of blockade runners, and a
" considerable interchange of civilities has taken place be..
tween the Confederate and the British officers," the termer
having been entertained by the latter at their mess. The
assistant paymaster of the Florida having died at the port,
his remains were folluwed to the grave by a large concourse
of residents and others,— Western Morning [News.
