ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMEB,CIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The condition of the money market is gradually
assuming greater easiness through the favourab e
Position of the Bank of England, as shown in the
return issued last evening by the authorities.
capital
out of doors is abundant, and the mercan-
tile classes, believing that lower quotations will be
shortly current, are consequently restricting their
operations as much as possible. Bi'l brokers, on
the other hand, are anxious to obtain business, and
first-class piper is freely negotiated at 71 per cent.
The Bank of England Return for the week to
Wednesday last is of a highly satisfactory nature.
Tae
stock of bullion has been considerably increased,
and the Reserve of Notes shows an augmentation of
more than £1,000,000. The Government and Public
I
)13"'its are also larger, and the Other Securities
exhibit an important diminution. Annexed is our

The City of Baltimore, from New York, has
b 't
caught £210,630.
The bar silver lately arrived by the Seine from
il
`ua West Indies and the Pacific was sold yesterday
11 88_ lid. per oz. standard, showing no material
alteration in the price realised.
The only bullion operation of importance at the
Bank
yesterday was a withdrawal of 17,000
a°vereigns for the Mauritius.
The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets during the last few days have been
"ti rather reduced scale. Sugar has sold slowly,
11 a decline in some instances of ls. to 2s. per cwt.
:tor coffee, however, there has been a moderate
Inquiry, and full rates have been realised. In tea,
rice, fruit, and spices, there has been no material
l'ariation as regards values, but a more cheerful
tOhe has prevailed in the tallow market, and quo-
tations for both present and forward delivery show
au upward tendency.

Two o'CLoCK.
An improvement of about per cent. has taken,
place to-day in the Market for the English Funds
owing to the easier position of monetary affairs
and the favourable Bank of England return. The
increase of bullion and reserve of notes, together
with a falling off in the loan and discount opera-
tions of the establishment, have produced a very
favourable feeling among speculators, and Consols
are now quoted 90i 91 for money, and 91ki for the
account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities
are higher at 904 91 ; Exchequer Bills remain
steady at 10s. to 5.i. dis.; India 5 per Cents, at
106.1
; and the Enfaced, 5 per Cents. at 104.
general upward movement is apparent in the
value of the principal Foreign Securities, but bust-
ileas is not active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are
~,.°1 ; ditto Consolides, 46 t; Mexican, 34 I ;
-reek, 252 ; Spanish Passive, 32! 33; ditto
Certificates, 13 I; Portuguese, 489 t; Russian,
881 ; and the Confederate Loan, 38 40.:,
In the Railway Share Market the operations
have not been extensive, but prices have generally
exhibited more firmness. Great Western, and
IN'orth-Eastern (Berwick), have improved ss. ;
and Great Northern A Stock, and Metropolitan,
I,°s• ; London and North Western, however, have
declined 108. ; and South Eastern, ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are inactive, and
exhibit no change in values.
Bank shares remain very dull. London and
County, however, have improved to 56; London
and Westminster to 79i; and Imperial Ottoman
have declined to 17i1
In the Miscellaneous Market, Crystal Palace
stock has receded to 331 4 ; London Financial, 231;
and Mercantile Credit, 71- ; General Floating Dock
Company shares are quoted 1 to 1i prem.
