310NIY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the general discount market the rate is fully
equal to the minimum charged by the Bank of
England authorities, and no business has been ne-
gotiated under 4 per cent. The great activity dis-
played in all quarters for money has been oc-
casioned by circumstances which, though of a
temporary character, were looked forward to for
some time past, and have therefore influenced the
Market for a considerable period. Their effect,
however, being now direct, the consequence has
been to absorb much of the capital at the disposal
of the Joint Stock and private establishments,
'Which, in their turn, having to borrow money, are
unable to discount even first class bills under the
official minimum. At the Bank of England the
enquiries for accommodation continue numerous,
and the Gazette return to appear to-morrow night
will no doubt reveal an excessive augmentation of
this description of business. Ihe revenue collections
'Which are now in active progress, and the with-
drawal of the loans by the Indian Council, are
largely contributing to the present scarcity of
Money, and as these will be completed about the
end a the week, a trifling relief may then be ex-
perienced.
About £40,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.
'!'here was no alteration in the foreign exchanges
Yesterday afternoon.
With reference to the Columbian Loan, we are
informed that Earl Russell has sanctioned the
appointment of her Majesty's Charge d'Affairs at
Bogata, if agreeable to ail parties, to act as agent
for a time for the receipt and transmission of the
revenues to be held at the disposal of the bond-
holders.
The project of the Southsea Pier Hotel Company
has proved a success. Already upwards of £lO,OOO
of the proposed capital has been subscribed
for, and every day brings fresh applications
for allotment. The scheme is a very good one, and
from the commanding position of the hotel a con-
stant succession of visitors will be certain.
Applications for shares in the London Tavern
Company are not be received after the 2d inst.
The subscription list of the Prince of -Wales
lintel Company is to be closed on the 3d proximo
for London, and on the 6th for the provincial towns.

The English Stock Market exhibits no change
from the quotations of last evening. Everything,
in fact, is now combining to keep English securi-
ties inactive, speculation being again rife in the
foreign department, and the settlement of the fort-
nightly account to-day preventing any great atten-
tion being devoted to other business. Consols con-
tinue at 931 y fur money, and at 931 for the ac-
count. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities
are 91i 92; Exchequer Bills, ls. die. to 2s. prem. ;
India 5 per Cents., 1081 a; and the Bonds, 16s. to
`64- prem.

business, and prices are tolerably firm. Turkish 6
