MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

No change is observable this morning in the
situation of affairs in the discount market. A very
fair demand for money continues to be made, and

4 per cent. is still charged for the best descrip-
tions of mercantile paper. Opinion, in quarters
upon which some reliance ought to be placed,
appears to fluctuate regarding the policy the direc-
tors will adopt at their weekly court to-morrow.
Tne more general impression, however, exists that
the advancement will be postponed for a short
period.

Tae prospectus of the Marine Investment Com

pang has been issued. It appears that the company
is established for the purpose of granting temporary
loans on eligible ships and other marine property

by the way of mortgage. The board of directors
give more than common assurance that this com-
pany will be well managed from the commercial
point of view. From inquiries instituted, we find
that already this company may be pronounced a
success, very few shares remaining indisposed of,
and that what few remain will be allotted during
this week. The-directors are of opinion that from
10 to 15 per cent. will eventuate from the operations
of the company, which, by the way, is the first in-
stitution of its kind, and will, therefore, there is
little doubt, find ample field for its action. The
evidence of the necessity for some such marine
company is proven by the fact, that even before
the company may be said to be fairly on its legs,
we have already seen applications for loans on
marine property for upwards of £90,000.

To meet the convenience of the holders the Scrip
of the 6 per Cent. Colmobian Government Loan can
be paid up in full at the London and County Bank,
under a discount of 3 per cent.

The directors of the Loudon and South Western
Bank (Limited) have made a call of £5 per share.
They have also announced that they will open a
branch office at 69, Park-street, Camden-town, on
the 21st instant.

It is announced that the subscription list of The
Discount Corporation will close on Saturday next,
the 17th instant.

About £3,000 was taken into the Bank yesterday,
but £B,OOO in gold and 30,000 sovereigns were
withdrawn.

The Seine has arrived from the West Indies with
£239,933, and the City of Washington from New
York with 188,416.
At the public sales of indigo which commenced
yesterday there was a fair attendance of buyers, and
the biddings were animated for the better qualities.
The prices realised for ordinary sorts were fully
equal to those of last sales, while superior descrip-
tions ranged from 2d. to 4d. per lb. higher. The
quantity announced for these auctions is about
12,353 chests.

At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Renter's
telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 671. 55c.67f.

The English Stock Market is now more buoyant,
an advance of k having taken place upon the nego-
tiation of a few purchases. During the earlier
hours business was somewhat sluggish, but a few

transactions have imparted firmness. Consols for
money are 93 it, and 931 1 for the account. The
New Threes are 91,-t- 1, the Reduced 911 s ; Exche-
quer Bills, par to 3s. prem.; India 5 per Cents.,
1081- 109 ; and the 4 per Cents., 1001.
There is more firmness in the Foreign Market,
but business is rather quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents.

1854, are 911 921 ; do.r 1862, 701 711; do., Con-
solides, 54 541; Mexican, 421 2; Greek, 331- 34k;

Certificates, 131 ; Italian, 721-; Portuguese, 491 ;
Russian, 931; the Confederate Loan, 63 65 ; and
the Colombian Loan, par to I prem.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings
have been limited. The lipidation of the account,
however, has occupied the principal attention of the
dealers and speculators, and prices have remained
without material change. Brighton, Metropolitan,
and South-Eastern have declined 55., and Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 10s, ; while Caledonian and North.
Western have improved ss.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain
inactive, without any change to record in value.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull. Im-
perial Ottoman have receded to 18a- ; Standard of
British South Africa, to 23. Loudon Financial
shares have improved to 13i 14 ; and International
do., to 101,. India Land Mortgage Bank shares
ere quoted 31 prem. ; Anglo-Austrian, to t
prem. ; Imperial Privileged of Austria, dis. to
par ; East London, lt 21, prem. ; and Discount Cor-
poration, 41, prem.

We near that experiments are soon to take place
vfl.`:h the Armstrong 600:pounder in firing at a
floating target representing a portion of the Warrior's side,
and that the target built upon Mr. Reed's plan of very
thick plates, slight backing, and a 2-inch skin, will also,
ere long, be fired at. Wo think, therefore, that our naval
and military friends interested in these matters should
hold themselves in readiness for a run t 3 Shoeburyness in
