MONEY MARKET.

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Exceptional transactions are reported in the
Discount Market at 31 per cent., but 4 per cent. is
still generally asked for three months' bills, and the
demand is well kept up.
A further sum of £4,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
During the last few days there has not been much
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. The dealings in tea have been suspended
until the public sales, which commence to day,
Sugars have been in limited request at previous
prices, while coffee, rice, fruit, and spices have re-
mained without any material alteration in values.
The tallow market has been dull, and rather lower
ratee are current for both present and forward de-
livery.

The first ordinary general,meeting of the Char -
lng-cross Hotel Company was held to-day—the
Hon. James Byng in the chair. The report. which
was unanimously adopted, stated that the directors
had obtained a lease of the site for the hotel at the
Charing-cross Railway Terminus for 1,000 years, at
a cost of £65,000. The chairman stated that Mr.
Lucas was constructing the establishment, which
would be completed in a short time, and in good
architectural style.
The amount of specie brought by the City of
New York from America is 190,834.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 55c.
Firm.

There is scarcely any alteration to-day in the
English Funds, and the dealings are on a very
reduced scale. The tendency at the latest moment
appears rather favourable, owing to the receipt of
higher prices from the Paris Bourse. Consols are
936 for transfer, and 93i for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 936 7, ;
Bank Stock is quoted 238 240 ; India Stock is 224
226; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 1081 1; the 5 per Cent
Enfaced Paper, 1071 ; the Bonds are 19s. prem. ;
and Exchequer Bill 3 are Is. dia. to 2s. prem.
There is very little animation in the Foreign
Market, and prices are in some instances depressed.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been of a very limited character, and prices have
exhibited few changes of importance. London
and South Western have receded about ss. ; Great
Eastern, Great Western, Lancashire, Midland,
and South Eastern have each sustained previous
rates.

For the Foreign and Colonial lines there has
been an average demand. Eastern of France rea -
