MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The money ':nerket appears to be a little easier,
Owing to a temporary diminution in the demand;
but. no permanent tendency in the diree!ion of in•
creased ease is anticipated, cspeci-lly in the face of
BO many foreign unLlertakitig4. At the lame time,
however, there is an abur;d,lnce of money, and gold
continues to flow into the B ink of England.
The steamer E lora, which leaves on the 20th
with th. India cud China mails, will take out
£278,564 i❑ specie.
The bar silver by the Stiannon has been sold at

53. IZ-1. per oz standard.

price; and on Madras, at 2s. in full.

proprietors of the Van Diemen's Land Company
took place to-day—Mr. Brice Pearse in the chair.
The report briefly adverted to the death of the
Ice governor the company, and stated that im
portant advantages were likely to arise, not only to
the company, but also to the local government, should
the intended explorations to verify the reports of
gold discoveries near the company's property prove
anccessful. The accounts showed an increase this
Year from the sale of land The amount of rent
receivable for 1862 amounted to nearly £3,400.
The bill in Parliament, for reducing the nominal
capital of trio company, had passed through the
preliminary stages, and no oppo,ition to it being
anticipated, there was re3son to belit-ve that it
Would, before the end of the session, become law.

A. decline of 4- per cent. has taken place today in
the market for the English Funds, owing to a
limited number of sales for speculation. Consols
are 92k for transfer, and 92i for account. The
Tnrees and Reduced Annuities continue at
911 g ; and the N 2 per Cent. Annuities are
In-Irked 76g. India Stock is quoted 228 229; the

In the Foreign Market business has been quiet
and prices tend downwards. Turkish 6 per Cents.,
1858, are 671 681; do., 1862, 681 691 ; do., Con-
solidPs, 421 Venezuel n Loan, 591 ; Italian,

The Confederate Loan is very popuiar, and has
rlsen to 41 51 prem. Its merits continue to excite
discussion, and the applications, it is thought, will
be found to be very excessive.
Business in the Railway Share Market continues
baoderately active, but a heavy tone has prevailed
'ith regard to prices. Caledonians, Great Easterns,
l'lnetshire and Yorkshires, and Midlands have re-
ceded 58., South Easterns 155., and North West-
erns £l. Great Northerrs have improved 10s
and South Westerns ss.
