MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Money continues in moderato demand for com-
mercial purposes, and the quotations remains as
before.

The Agra and United Service Bank have received
the following telegram from Bombay :
" Exchange—Bank Bills, 2s. 21d.; Rupee Paper
unsaleable."

About £105,000 in bar gold was taken into the
Bank yesterday.
111 the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there
Was a slight downward movement iu several
Instances.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £619,400, and the exports to £785,670,
including £527,490 taken out to day by the Ceylon,
Which left for Bombay.
It appears that several inquiries for goods, espe-
cially in the woollen districts, have lately been made,
Purporting to come from a firm at Copenhagen, and
referring to a highly respectable house in that city.
This is believed to be merely an attempt to obtain
Property from merchants and manufacturers on
this side, and the house in question disclaims any
favourable knowledge of the firm referring to
them.

The Bankers' Almanack and Directory for 1864
contains a variety of useful matter, the information
respecting the recent formation of banking esta-
blishments having largely increased its value as a
Work of reference, Besides the ordinary banking
and commercial retrospect, the annual chronology,
the account of failed firms, there is a list of the
directors of the principal joint-stock banks, the
finance and credit companies, and the discount
Undertakings. It is still edited by D. Morier Evans,
Who has had the superintendence of the volume
several years.

Two O'CLOCK.

The market for the English Funds closed yes-
terday with tt very heavy appearance, but rather
more firmness is now exhibited, and Consols are
90i 91 for money, and 911 Z for the account. Busi-
ness has been very quite. New Threes and Re-
duced are about 90/ 90 ; India 5 per Cents., 104
; do. 4 per Cents., 100 I; Exchequer Bills, lls.
to 7s. die.

The Foreign Market opened with a very de-
pressed appearance, but a partial recovery has since
Occurred. Turkish 6 per tents., 1862, are 70 1 ;
ditto Consolides, 464 ; Mexican, 341 ; Ureek,
25.1 26; Spanish Passive, 321 338 ; Russian, 884
and the Confederate Loan, 36 38.

The share list of the Floating Dock Compaay
will close on Wednesday next, the 16th inst. The
present price is I 1i prem.

In the Railway Share Market the operations
have been limited, and prices have shown little
change of importance. South Western have im-
proved I, and North Western 1; while North Eas-
tern (Berwick) have declined I.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings continue
inactive at about former quotations.
Bank arid Miseellaenous shares continue in mode-
rate request, and show little change of importance
IR values.
