ONEy MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Business in the Discount Market has been some-
what impeded by the uncertainty felt regarding
the policy the Bank of England directors may
pursue at their meeting to-day. The general
im-
presbion seems to be that no immediate change
will be made, in the mean while a certain degree of
reserve is manifested, and the rates are almost
nominal.

A further sum of L 48,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took
place yestcrday at the Bank of England. The pro-
portions allotted were—to Calcutta £160,000, to
Bombay £120,')00, and to Madras £20,000. The

minimum price declared was, as before, ls.
per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. 114 d. on
Bombay. The applications within the limits
amounted to £3,170,000. Tenders on Calcutta, at
ls. thid., will receive about 30 per cent.; on Bum.
bay, at 25., about 6 per cent.; on Madras, at
ls. 11.1 d., about 93 per cent,; and all above these
prices in full.

- The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

of the Oriental Bank Corporation—Mr. H. G. Gor-
don in the chair—an ad interim dividend of .E 1 los. 4]
per share, or at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum
was declared payable on the 2d November next.
Dulness is still the principal feature of the mar-
ket for thb English Funds, foreign stocks and new "
schemes engaging almost the exclusive attention of 11(,
the investing classes. After the official hours of
business yeste;day Consols receded k-viz., to 921 st
934 for money, and to 93 for account. The st'
present quotations, however, show a recovery to
93 k for money, and to 931 for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced are 94-- 1; Exchequer
Bills are ls. dis. to 2s. prem.; India 5 per Cents.,
1094 ; and Enfaced ditto, 107 i.

Increased buoyancy prevails in the Foreign
Market, and business is rather active. Turkish 0.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have 8
been extremely limited, and prices have been fur. ‘4l
ther depressed. North-Eastern (Berwick) and I
South-Eastern have declined 65.; Brighton, and
London, Chatham, and Dover, 108.; and Manchester, ®1
Sheffield, and Lincoln, and Metropolitan, 15s. ;
while Great Eastern and Lmacashire and York-
shire have improved 5:2.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings prices
continue without change of importance.
Bank Shares are dull. London and Middlesex
have declined to 7k. Alliance of London and
Liverpool are steady at 45 ; Imperial Alliance at
18k t, India Land Mortgage shares are quoted 3
to 31 prem.; Anglo-Austrian, par to prem; and
