MONEY MARKET

AND

CCMIVEECIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Although the available supplies of money are
ample for all immediate demands, bankers and
brokers still enforce full terms, while by a conces-
sion or 1- per cent. they could divert a large
amount of business which is now taken to the Bank
of England.

The Bank of England return, completed to Wed-
Ilesday last, chows some important features. The
loan and tlic3unt operations have been largely
augmented by the increased demand fcr accommo-
dation not only upon commercial bills, but also
upon Government Securities, the authorities now
Making their usual quarterly advances. The addi-
tion to the bullion is small when compared with
the quantities recently sent in ; but the accummu-
lation is .neverthQless making steady progress, and
will ultimately contribute to a decline in the
rainitnum quotation. Annexed are the particulars:—

The Glasgow, from America, has brought only
£6,260.

A further sum of £32,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days has been rather
doll ; higher prices, however, have been realised
for the new season's crop of tea, while sugar, coffee,
rice, and fruit have barely sustained former quota-
tions. In saltpetre there has been a moderate
business negotiated, while the tallow market has
continued very dull, and prices have shown less
firmness for both present and forward delivery.

At Paris this morning, according to Kr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
69f 20c—firm.

The English Stock Market appears again to be
devoid of any special feature. The dealings either
for investment or speculation are exceedingly
limited, but the funds, through certain encouraging
features both in this country and on the continent,
exhibit inherent strength, and the quotations con •
sequently keep up at their present high point.
Consols are 93a I for money and the 9th inst., and
93i 94 for the new account on the Bth October.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities rcmain at
921 and Exchequer Bills at is. die. to 2s. prem.
Indian Stock is well maintained at 224 226 ; the 5
per Cent. Loan at 1081; the 4 per Cent. Enfaced
Paper at 98; and the 5 per Cent, do. at 1071.
The principal feature in the Foreign Market to-
day is a rise of 1 per cent. in Mexican Stock, viz.,
to 401 41, upon a rumour to the effect that arrange-
ments have been completed for a new Loan.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 691 70; do., 1862,
701 71 ; do., Consolides, have improved to 53k fo
Portuguese to 491 50; the Confederate Loan to 28
to 26 discount ; Internal Spanish Passive to 291 1;
the External are steady at 341 35k; the Certificates
at 131; Greek are firmer at 37k 1; the Coupons
are
171 181; Italian, 724 73 ; Russian, 931 -4.; and
rertivian, 881 89.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
again been limited and a further slight decline has
taken place in prices. Great-Western, Brighton,
and North-Western have each receded about 55.,
and Metropolitan 153., Great Northern A Stock,
however, has improved 55..
For Foreign and Colonial lines there has only
been a limited inquiry, and prices are not varied to
any important extent.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue at
*in prices. Al:ianco of London and Liverpool
have improved to 371 381 ; City Bank realise 101
102; Union of London, 361 ; International Finan-
cial shares realise :101; London Financial, 121 1
General Credit, 4 1; and Hudson's Bay, 91 1.
