MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Affairs in the discount market continue without
change. Money is abundant, and the demand for
it very small. Three months' bills are again nego-
tiable at 31 per cent. As these terms permit the
brokers to obtain a small profit upon their opera-
tions, and enable the mercantile community to ex-
change their paper at easy rates, the subject of
an alteration in the offi3ial minimum no longer
Perplexes the commercial mind or engrosses its
attention.
A further withdrawal of £14,000 was effected at

the Bank of England yesterday.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was no material alteration.
The preliminary arrangements of the Royal Bank
of India (lately started in Bombay) for commencing
business in London are completed. The London and
County Bank are the company's London bankers.
Mr. Maculloch, formerly manager of the Agra and
United Service Bank at Bombay, has been appointed
the London agent, with offices in the East India
Chambers, Leadeuhall street.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rmter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cant. B.2ntes were
67f. 05c. Dull.

The English Stock Market is less buoyant than
it was at the close of business yesterday. Consols,
which had been fractionally higher, have returned
to their original quotations, which are 93 s for
money, and 93-1- 1 for the account. Toe New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 9174 .2-4; the
New 21 ditto, 761; India Stock is 226; the 5 per
Cent. Loan, 1091 2 ; and the 4 per Cent. ditto,
1004 101.
In the Foreign Market a further downward ter.-
dency is apparent, and business is dull. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1854, are 92-1 ; do., 1862, 711 -1,-; do.,
Consolides, 521 53 ; Mexican, 421; Greek, 30! ;
do., Coupons, 141 ; Spanish Passive, 351 ; do.,
Certificates, 131 ; Portuguese, 49Z a; do., New
Loan 1 d H prem ; and the Confederate Loan, 63 65.

The settlement of the account has been the chief
business attended to in the Railw.y Share Market
to-day, and prices have in several instances exhi-
bited more firmness. West Midland,NorthWestern,
South Western, North Eastern, York, South and
North Stafford have improved 5,=., and South
-Western, 106.; Caledonian, however, have receded
ss.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been little change of importance as regards
prices.

Bank Shares continue in moderate request. Char-
tered of India, Australian, and China have im-
proved to 391 40 ; Union of London to 381-, I; India
Land Mortgage Bank are quoted 3 to 31 premium ;
East London, 2 to 3 prem.
In the Miscellaneous Market, London Financial
shares realise 151; Peninsular and Oriental Steam,
84 ; Discount Corporation are quoted 81 to 81
prem.; and Mercantile Credit, 11 to 2 prem.
