MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the general discount market to-day there is a
good demand for money, but the lowest rate for the
best three months' bills is 4 per cent., although
exceptional transactions are reported in shorter
dated paper at 31 per cent.
A further sum of £198,000 in gold was taken
into .the Bank yesterday, but £B,OOO was with-
drawn.

There was a slight upward movement in the
foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £705,427 and the exports to £495,000.
A meeting of the Peruvian Dollar Bondholders
has been convened for Wednesday next, toconsider
what steps should be taken to obtain payment of
their bonds and coupons, in "hard dollars," in.
stead of in the depreciated American papers now
illegally tendered.

Two O'CLOCK.

There is not the slightest alteration of importance
to report in the position of affairs in the English
Stock Market. Business, both for investment and
on speculation, is very much curtailed, and Consols
remain at 93,1 for money, and 931- for the account.
The New Threes are 914 ; the Reduced, 91a;
and Exchequer Bills, 2s. die. to ls. prem. Bank
Stock is 235; India ditto, 226; ditto 5 per Cent.,
1091 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Educed, 107 i ; and the
Debentures, 1001.

Some of the principal Foreign Securities are
depressed, and the market appears heavy. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1862, are 71 Q ; do., Consolides, 533 a ;
Mexican, 411 424 ; Greek, 291 e ; do. Coupons, 131
141 ; Spanish Passive 364 s ; do. Internal, 314 4 :
do. Certificates, 141 a ; Portuguese, 494 1 ; Italian,
741 ; do. Maremmana. Railway Loan, 81 Q ; the
Confederate Loan, 65 67 ; and the Colombian, s die.
to par.
Business in the Railway Share Market continues
very dull, and prices show little change of import-
ance. Bristol and Exeter have receded £l, and
Metropolitan, 10s.
The Fot sign and Colonial undertakings continue
very inactive at about previous rates.:
Bank Shares are in ziome instances rather firmer.
London and Buenos Avres realise 53 to 54 ; Lon-
don and Westminster, 80; and Bank of New Zea-
land, 144 ; India Land Mortgage Bank is quoted
3k 1 prem. ; Anglo• Austrian, a 4 prem. ; and East
London, 112 prem.

In the Miscellaneous Market there is little
change to report. Crystal Palace Stock is quoted,
