CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

The general money market to day does not show
the slightest tendency ,o alteration, the demand
being moderate, while the rates continue to range
as low as 3 per cent.

TLe amount of specie to be taken out by the
Ellora, which leaves to-day with the Bombay mails,
is £64,700.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent Rentes were 691. 60c.
—beaty.
Speculation has continued dull in the market for
the English Funds, and as the dealings for transfer
Were limited an extreme degree of inactivity is ex-
perienced. Consols are now quoted 939 fki for
money, and 92L- t, less the dividend, for the 9th
prox., showing scarcely any alteration. The New
Threes and Reduced are 914 92 ; India 5 per Cents.,
1091 110; and Exchequer Bills, par.

The Foreign Stock Market presents a heavy ap-
pearance upon sales in realisation of the recent im-
portant advance, but there is not quite so mach
business. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 70; 71 ;
do., Consolides, 551 ; Greek, 311 a ; do. Coupons,
144 15; Mexican, 361 37; Spanish Passive, 341 9 ;
do., Certificates, 12 1 ; Italian, 711 2; Portuguese,
491 1; Egyptian, 991 1; and the CJnfederate Loan,
I dis to par.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather inactive, and prices have in some instances
shown rather less firmness. Great Westerns and
S mth-Easterns have declined ss. ; and London and
Brighton, 10s. Great Northern A Stock hba
advanced 10s.; and Metropolitan, ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines generally main- u
tain about previous rates.
In Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares ti
there has been a fair inquiry, arid prices in m(st it
instances are steady. Binh of Queensland have luf.
improved to 7 and 79; Chartered of BrWeh

Coiymbia, to 98; London and County, to 36k;
Union of Australia, to 531; and Royal Mail Steam,

to 65.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the past week have been generally of a satis-
factory character. At Manchester there has been
a steady business in cloths and yarns for the India
and China markets. The woollen trade of Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield, however, has con-
tinued dull ; and at Leicester and Nottingham
there has been rather less activity in the hosiery
and lace departments. The hardware districts, viz.,
of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton,
have not experienced any material change.
The progress of business in the metal market
during April is thus described by Messrs. James
and Shakspeare :—" We have again to note a period
of stagnation. Though money was both cheap and
abundant, speculation has lain dormant, even where
statistics promised a favourable result. From the
same cause, we have seen holders refrain from
pressing sales, preferring to wait for a revival of
the demand, rather than to offer their goods at a
lower rate than the quotation of the day."
