lIONEy MARKET

AND
COMMERCTAT. INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is rather less business in the general dis-
count market to-day, and the rates are a little
easier, ranging from 3'4 per cent. upwards, accord-
ing to the character of the paper offered for nego-
tiation. The supplies of money have slightly in-
creased.

A special general meeting of the shareholders of
the Oriental Inland Steam Company was held to-
day—Colonel Grimes in the chair. The meeting
Was convened to consider the financial and general
Condition of the company, and to confer with the
directors on the course expedient to be adopted.
It was proposed that the directors shall lave
authority to issue the present unallotted and for-
feited shares, with a preferential right of dividend
not exceeding 8 per cent. on the amount of each of
such ehares, giving to the holders of fully paid up
shares, and to the holders of C shares, iu respect of
whose shares no call is unpaid, the preference in
the allotment of such share in proportion to the
shares held by them over other applicants. A warm
discussion upon the subject ensued, and no resolu-
tion was agreed to when this report was despatched.
Proposals have been made by the Messrs. Roths-
child on behalf of the Imperial Government for a
new 41 per cent. Brazilian loan, amounting to
£3,300,000. The objects to which this sum is to
be applied are the liquidation of the 5 per cent. loan,
1843, representing £3,620,000 due next January,
extinguishing the 5 per cent. loans of 1824 and
1825, which are together equal to £2,357,900, due
next April, and discharging in Brazil with the
balance the floating Treasury bonds. The price at
which the present loan is to be issued is 88 per
cent., or if the interest accruing over the period in
Which the payments are to be made be reckoned, it
is reduced to about 87. The bonds (to bearer) are
to be for £lOO, £5OO, and £l,OOO each, with coupons
payable half-yearly in London on the Ist April
and Ist October. The stock is to be redeemed in 30
years by a sinking fund of £1 13s. per cent. per
annum. Discount at the rate of 5 per cent, will be
allowed for payments made in anticipation of the
periods stated as follows :-15 per cent. on allot-
ment, 15 per cent. on the 16th November, 15 per
cent, on the 15th December, 10 per cent. on the
15th January, and 33 per cent on the 22d March.
The Southsea Pier Hotel Company having dis-
posed of the bulk of their capital stock have inti-
mated their intention to close very shortly their
application list. We understand that over £17,000
of the capital is already taken up.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 65c.

Although the English Fands have not varied to-
day, the market continues to present much heavi-
ness. In fact, very little amendment can bs
expected in the present disturbed condition of affairs
in a:1 quarters. Although Eagland may be able to
maintain her neutrality intact, the unsettled feeling
abroad must, nevertheless, operate injuriously upon
this market. Consols are 93 1 for money, and
931 for the November account. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 911 I, and Exchequer
Bills par. India 5 per Cents. are 1.08 a& ; the En-
faced 4 per Cents., 100 a ; ditto 5Q per Cents. 1071 ;
the Debentures, 10011; and the Bonda 19s. to 225.

in at 239.

There is not much animation in the Foreign
Market, and prices are depressed. Turkish 6 per

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
very inactive, and prices have shown little change
of importance, Great Western and North Western
have receded 65., and Metropolitan have advanced
£l.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain
without material change in values.
Bank Shares continue in fair request at about
previous rates. Indian Land Mortgage Bank are
quoted 3i I prem; Anglo-Austrian, 1 1,-1 pram;
and East London 11 2 prem.
In the Miscellaneous Share Market there has
been little change of importance. Electrio Tele-
