MONEY MARKET

AND

COMATPRCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

-

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Owing to the demand for money in connection
with the settlement of the account in Foreign
Stocks and railway shares, the discount market
continues firm and tolerably active, the average
charge for the last three months' bills, among the
joint stack and private establishments, being 31
per cont.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £1,100,000, and the exports to only
£252,000.

There was no material change in the foreign
exchange yesterday afternoon.
About £194,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

Two O'CLOCK.

The Paris Turee per Cent. Rentes, this morning,
according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, opened at 66f.
65c.; flat.

There has not been much activity in the market
for the English Funds, but sales have been effected
in consequence of increased depression on the Paris
Bourse, which, taken in conjunction with the state
of political affairs on the continent, is regarded as
an unfavourable feature. Consols have consequently
given way about 3-16ths per cent., viz., to 92/
for money and account. The New Threes and Re-
duced Annuities are 93 4 ; Exchequer Bills appear
a little flatter at par to 2s. prem. ; Indian 5 per
Cents. are marked 108/ ; Enfaced, 58 per Cent.,
116; and do. Debentures, 100/.
Foreign Stocks have generally declined, and
business is inactive. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862,
are 67-1 d ; do. Consolides, 48 ; Greek, 328 I ; do.
Coupons, 14/ 15/ ; Mexican, 361,-, ; Portuguese,
48; Italian 701 -I; Egyptian, MI 106; and the
Con federate Loan, 16 to 14 dis.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been very limited, and a further slight decline has
taken place in prices. Caledonian, North Western,
and South Eastern have receded 55., Great Western
and Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s., and Great
Eastern 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings show no
change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, and in
one or two instances are a shade flatter. English,
Scottish, and Australian Chartered have receded to
221 ; London and South African to 259. Crystal
Palace stock has improved to 394; and Peninsular
and Oriental Steam have declined to 781. Inter-
national Financial shares are dealt in at 99 ; and
General Credit and Finance at 2i 31.
