CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

A much firmer tone now pervades the general
discount market, and a sudden increase of business
is reported there, as well as at the Bank of England.
The fact is, an opinion prevails that higher rates
may be soon established, the accumulation of gold
having ceased, while the demand for accommoda-
tion has increased, and there is now a desire to ob-
tain supplies of money at the current quotations,
but enhanced terms should have to be paid a few
days hence.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
markets during the last few days has continued in-
ectiN e. Sugars have in most instances been at
slightly reduced prices. Coffee and rice have re-
mained
at steady quotations, while in tea the ope-
rations have been extremely limited, In the tallow
market a better tone has prevailed, P.Y.C. on the
spot being quoted 435. 6d., and for last three
months' delivery, 465. 3d. to 465. 6d. per cwt.
The 18th inst. has been appointed, by the Stock
Exchange Committee, a special settling day in the
following securities :—The Scrip of the Italian 1863,
Ceylon Government Six per Cent. Debentures, the
Shares of the London and South American Bank,
of the Alamillos Company, and of the Vallangasaa
Gold Mining Company. These various undertak-
ings are to be marked in the official lists, with the
exception of the Italian Loan.

The International Financial Society, based upon
the principle of the Paris Credit Mobilier, has been
established with the view to assist and take part in
financial and industrial undertakings, especially
foreign loans and enterprises possessing Govern.
ment guarantees. The directors are highly in-
fluential gentlemen, largely connected with the
principal monetary establishments both here and
abroad, and to secure the object they have in view,
they have made arrangements with several
foreign companies, bankers, and capitalists, with
whom business relations have been mutually estab-
lished. Messrs. Robert Benson and Co., Messrs.
Samuel Dobree and Sons, Messrs. Frederick Huth
and Co , Messrs. Heath and Co., Messrs. George
Peabody and Co., Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen,
and Messrs. Stern Brothers are represented in the
direction, and they in their turn are associated
with the Societe Generale de Credit Mobilier in
Paris, Spain, and Italy, and the houses of
Hottinguer, Fould, and Co., Pillett, Will,
and Co., Mallet Freres, M. E. and J. Pereire,
M. H. Biesta of the Comptoir d'Escompte, &c.
The capital required is £3,000,000, in shares of £2O
each, but as the greater portion of the amount has
been already privately subscribed, the directors are
only enabled to offer 40,000 shares, or £BOO,OOO, to
the public. The manner in which it has been
received on the Stock Exchange is indicated by the
fact that the shares there are this morning quoted
10 to 12 prem.

Another undertaking just introduced to the public
is the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company, requir-

ing a capital of £150,000 in £lO shares, of which
£9 is to be called up. It is formed for the purpose
of purchasing two other valuable undertakings,
namely the Ettrick Forest Paper Mill Company and
the Inmate of Ammonia Company, and of manufac-
turing paper on an extensive scale in Essex. After
providing for the necessary contingencies in con-
nexion with the working of the mills, it is calcu-

lilted that a net profit will be realised which wit

give a dividend of about 15 per cent. A large share
of the capital is stated to have been already sub-

scribed, and the legitimate character of the enter.
prise will, it is believed, ensure the remainder.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent Rentes were 69f. 70c.
—rather firm.

Business continues dull :in the market for the
English Funds, and further indications of weakness
have been perceptible, owing to speculative sales.
Consols are 93; for money, and 918 92, less the
dividend for the account—a decline of IV per cent.

and the Debentures, 100 f.

The Foreign Stock Market opened with a very
depressed appearance, but more firmness is now
apparent, although the dealings are not very ex-
tensive, the preparations for the settlement of the
account occupying principal attention. Turkish

In the Railway Share Market the operations
have been of a very limited description, the ar-
rangements for the settlement having occupied the
chief attention of the dealers and speculators. Lon-
don and Brighton, and Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln have declined about 55., and South Wes-
tern 10s.; Great Westerns and Lancashire and
Yorkshire have improved ss. The Foreign and
Colonial undertakings have remained inactive, at
about previous quotations.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
are dull, and generally show a slight downward
movement in prices.

THE Loss OF TIE ANGLO-SAXON.—It would ap-

would desire to draw especial
attention to this point, In
the months when fogs are most
prevalent in the vicinity of
Capo Race it is understood thatt
they exist about 45 days
out of 100, and when it is borne inmind that from Liver-
pool alone three steamers leave weekly for the United States
and one for Canada, and chat as many return, all of which
the
direct their course to Capo Race, danger of collision
between two of them running in contrary directions appears
so great that even the constant vigilance exercised by the
commanders and officers of these steamers may not always
avert a serious catastrophe, the danger of which none know
better or more fully appreciate that these officers the:
