MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There has been but a limited demand for mone-
tary accommodation in the general discount market
this morning, and as the supply of floating capital
at the disposal of bankers and brokers is abundant,
the mercantile community find little difficulty in
negotiating there bills at greatly reduced prices.
Some of the best paper has been turned into money
at a 1 per cent. below the minimum of the
Bank of England, while 31 per cent. is now the
general quotation for three months' securities.
The bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday
comprised an influx of £lO,OOO in bar gold, and a
'withdrawal of 50,000 sovereigns.
The Europa from Boston has arrived with £4,300.
The directors of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company, at their ensuing meeting, intend to pro-
pose a dividend for the half year of £3 per share,
together with a bonus from the insurance fund of
30s. per share.
Trade in the manufacturing districts during the
past week has exhibited signs of increasing anima-
tion. It is true that not mach business was trans-
acted in Manchester, but this circumstance was due
to the fact that manufacturers refused to take orders
unless at high prices. More activity was mani-
fested at Leeds, Leceister, and Halifax, and at Bir-
mingham and ShtfUd business was on the increase.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 15c. and 67f. 10c. Heavy and inanimate.
Continued quietness and inactivity prevails in
the market for English Funds, which nevertheless
exhibit much buoyancy. Consols have not fluc-
tuated in the least since Saturday, the quotations
still being 95 s for money, and 93fr I for the ac-
count. The Reduced Annuities and New Threes
are MI 2 ; the Red Sea Telegraph, 21; Exchequer
Bills, ls. die. to 2s. prem. ; Bank Stock is 236; the
India 5 per Cent. Loan is 1001 I; and the 4 per
Cent. ditto, 1001,

In the Foreign Stock Market there is decidedly
more buoyancy and animation. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 711 ; do., Consolides, 531 54k ;
Mexican, 421 a ; Greek, 311 ; do., Coupons,
141 154 ; 5 ►apish Passive, 351 y ; do., Certificates,
131 e ; Russian, 921 931 ; Italian, 721 a ; Portu-
guese, 491 ; the New do., 11 I prem. ; and the
Confederate Loan, 66 67.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
very inactive, and prices have remained without
marked variation. In some instances, however,
rather more firmness has prevailed. Great Westerr,
North Western, and South Eastern have each ad-
vanced 55., and Great Northern A Stock 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are in limited
favour at about previous quotations.

Bank Shares nave been dull. Chartered of India,
Australia, and China have improved to 39 40;
London and County realise 531 ; India Land Mort-
gage Bank are quoted 3 to 32 prem.; Anglo-
Austrian, par to prem.; Imperial Privileged
Bank of Austria, I dis. to I prem. ; and East Lon-
don, 42/to 3 prem.

In the Miscellaneous Market, International
Financial shares have receded to 81 1; and Dis-
count Corporation are quoted 81 to 91 prem.

Y Publishes a leading article, in which
it openly pronounce,
itself in °
favour of the accept-
ance of the February
Constitution.
Thisjournal retain
dens readers that the acceptance
of the Pragmatic Sanction took place in Hungary 10
years later than in Transylvania, and it proves that
the app
rehension of being annihilated by the
of the Reichsrath is not justified.

The Surgony concludes by
urging the accept-
ance of the Constitution as soon as possible, because
the nationalities, tired of waiting, might declare
their adhesion without the concurrence of the
Hungarians.
