MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The unsettled feeling witnessed yesterday in the
general Discount Market is now passing away, and
signs of less stringency are for the moment appear-
ing. Bill brokers are, nevertLeless, very cautious
in transacting anything but short-dated bills, for
which they enforce the Bank of England minimum
of 4 per cent. The demand for accommodation to-
day has not been of that pressing nature as was
manifested during the preceding part of the week,
although it still continues to be above the average
at this season. _ _ _

A further sum of .£125,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The supply of bar silver by the West India
packet has been sold at ss. 17,-d. per oz. standard
for shipment to India.
The Bavaria, from New York, has brought
£30,230.

The Bank of England return issued by the
authorities, for the week ending Wednesday last,
although unfavourable in its general aspect, never.
theless presents a redeeming feature, when it is
considered that the bullion and reserve of notes have
not been so severely trenched upon as might have
been expected. Important alterations are shown
to have taken place in the Government and private
deposits ; these changes are in great part owing to
the payment of the dividends and the reimburse•
merits of the Indian debentures. The other securi-
ties have been reduced through the repayment of a
portion of the late advances made to the brokers.
Annexed are the particulars.

Debentures to the extent of £150,000 were dis-
posed of yesterday by public competition by the
Crown agents for the colonies. The number of
tenders received was 73, amounting in the aggre-
gate t 9 £254,000, and varying in price from par to
14 per cent. premium. All tenders above 108 3
were accepted in full, those at 108 3 will partici-
pate pro rata. The minimum price, fixed before
the allctment took place, was 108. The Crown
agents advertise another small loan of £24,000 for
the same Government, for which they invite ten-
ders until 1 o'clock on Monday next.
The British Indian Tea Company, with a capital of
£250,000, in shares of £2O each, has been projected
by an influential board of directors for the purpose
of purchasing land in India, and cultivating thereon
the tea plant. The estates, which have been pro-
visionally purchased, are eight in number, and are
situated in the tea producing districts of Assam,
Cachar, Sylhet, and Darjeeling. Of this land it
appears that there are about 2,000 acres which are
now in plant, besides 40,000 uncleared, adapted for
tea plantations. The yield for this year, included
in the purchase money, is expected to produce fully
160,0001b5., and 500 maunds of 821bs. each of tea
seed.

During the last few days there has been less
activity exhibited in the market for Foreign and
Colonial Produce. Sugars have been in moderate
request, at rather lower prices. Good and fine
descriptions of coffee, however, have fully sustained
previous rates. Rice has been in more demand,
particularly inferior descriptions of East India, and
late values have been fully maintained. Fruit and
spices have been rather cheaper, while in the tallow
market there has been less activity, at about late
quotations.

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Renter's
telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 57c.
Inanimate.

Business in the English Stock Market is still
conducted on a very limited scale, and as political
affairs are for the moment in abeyance, quotations
vary but slightly. Since Monday last the move-
ments have been immaterial, and Consols are again
marked 93 1 for money, and 93/ 1 for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 911 a,
and Exchequer Bills remain at par to 3s. prem. ;
India 5 per Cent. Loan, at 1081 109 ; and the
51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 1161.
In the Foreign Market there has been less buoy-
ancy, and Greek have dropped another 11 per
cent., viz., to 302 a ; and the Coupons to 141,
15. Mexican are 421; 43; Spanish Passive 351 1;

1001 4; the Confederate Loan, 63 65; and the
Colombian Loan, par to 1 prem.
In the Railway Share Market there has been
very little business transacted, and prices have not
varied to any important extent. Great Western
and Midland have improved ss. ; most of the other
lines realise previous rates.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are all at former
quotations.
Bank Shares have been in fair request, and in
some instances show an improvement. London and
Brazilian have advanced to 511, and London and
Northern to 111. India Land Mortgage Bank are
quoted 31 1 prem. ; Anglo-Austrian, prem. ;
and East London, 11 21 prem.

Steam are dealt in at 77; and Discount Corporation
are quoted 81 9-prem.
