MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is not a very large number of commercial
bills on offer this morning in the general discount
market, and while brokers are evidently pursuing
a very cautious policy in their acceptance of new
business, they are more inclined to enter into nego-
tiations for short dated at the full quotation of 6 per
cent. The mercantile community, therefore, find
little inconvenience in placing their bills on the
market. Under these circumstances the Bank of
England authorities no longer monopolise all the
paper brought forward.
The weekly statement of the Bank of England
does not exhibit a very unsatisfactory state of
affairs. The other securities have been largely
increased by the recent active demand for
money experienced by the authorities, but
the bullion is only £41,000 smaller, notwith-
standing the withdrawal of £215,000 during the
period embraced by the return; this is no doubt
produced by the large return of coin from the pro-
vinces usual at this season. The reserve of notes
is also more than a quarter of a million in excess of
the previous statement. The following are the
particulars :

The principal feature in the Foreign and Colonel
Produce Markets during the last few days has been
im
proved
about rise in the value of sugar, which has
about is to 2s per cwt., owing to large speculative
transactions. Coffee, however, has been dull, while
the dealings in tea, rice, fruit, and spices have been
to about an average extent without material change
as regards quotations. The Tallow Market has
been depressed, lower rates being current for both
present and forward delivery.
About 20,000 sovereigns were taken out of the
Bank yesterday for exportation to Alexandria.
The amount of specie to be conveyed by the
Pere, which leaves to-day with the Calcutta and
China mails is £302,052; of which, however,
£213,000 is in gold for Alexandria.

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes.
were 67f. 15c. 67f. 10c.

General buoyancy is now the characteristic of the
Stock Exchange markets. More disposition is
evinced to speculate since the rate of discount has
not been increased, and as a consequence all the
principal securities have been very substantially
'enhanced in value. Consols have advanced another
II per cent., the quotations being 921 -a, for money,
and 911
pi, less the dividend, for the account. The
Xew Threes and Reduced Annuities are 901 ; the
Thirty Years' Annuities, 14: ; and Exchequer
Bills Bs. to 33. disc India Stock is 223 ; the 5
Per Cent. Loan, 1081 ; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced
?aPer, 1041 ; and the Bands are par to 7 prem.
The Foreign Stock Market presents a very
buoyant appearance, and business is rather more
active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 691 70;
do., Consolides have risen to 471 I ; Greek, 301 ;
de.,•Coupons, 141 15 ; Spanish Passive, 341 ; do.,
Certificates, 131 14; Mexican, 37: ; Italian are
74; Portuguese, 481 ; but the Confederate Loan
has declined to 53 55.
A firmer tone has prevailed in the Railway
Share Market, and several of the principal under-
takings have been dealt in at enhanced rates.
•L'aocashire and Yorkshire and North Western have
ilnproved ss. ; and Great Eastern, Brighton, and
South Eastern, 10s. ; Metropolitan, ho Never, have
declined 55.; Rdinburgh and Glasgow, 10s.; and
London, Chatham, and Dover, .15e.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
is no material change to report.
Bank Shares continue dull. Ottoman of London
and Liverpool new shares realise 27; London and
County, 55; Union of Australia, 561.

In the Miscellaneous Market quotations gene-
rally are a shade flatter.
