XONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the general discount market the supply of bills
on offer is still sufficiently large to create activity,
and, as the demand is sustained, full rates are still
required by the bankers and brokers for the busi-
ness they transact. Owing, however, to their
negotiation of superior descriptions of commercial
paper at 3 y per cent., the inquiries at the Bank of
England c ontinue on a very moderate scale. The
authorities., it is thought, will soon be induced to
consider the expediency of a reduction in their
Minimum. quotation.
A further sum of £65,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The failure was announced yesterday afternoon
of Messrs. Jonathan Branden, merchants, of Ab-
church-lane.
Friday next has been appointed for a special
settlement in the shares of the Anglo Brazilian Geld
Mining Company, which are not to bo marked in
the offieial lists.
During the last few days there has been very,
little business transacted in the Foreign and Colo-
nial Produce Markets. The operations in tea have
been suspended until the public sales, which com-
menced to-day. Sugars have been in moderate
request at full rates, while there has been a fair in-
quiry for coffee at slightly enhanced prices for good
and Blue descriptions. Rice continued dull, as also
tallovr, which has been 425. 3d. per cwt. for present
delivery, and 445. during the last three months of
the year.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
08f, 60c.—very firm.
In order to tacilitate the repairs which have now
been going on at the Stock Exchange for some
time, the committee have resolved to close the esta-
blishment on Saturday next. This will give the
members and their employes the benefit of a
holiday.
There is not the slightest vitality in the market
for Consols, which are neglected by speculators as
well as the monetary classes. Despite the continued
inactivity, ho NTever, there is a buoyant tone, and
although a retrograde movement of a per
cent. is sometimes experienced, the general
tendency, as for some time past, is in an upward
direction, a favourable effect being produced by
monetary prospects, and, in fact, the entire absence
of any circumstances calculated to induce depression.
Consuls to-day have only been dealt in to a very
small extent; the present quotations are 931 a for
money, and 931 for the 9th inst., and 931 94 for
the October account. The New Threes and the
Reduced Annuiti,..s have improved to 931 j; the
New 21
.per Cent. Annuities are also higher, at 77,
and the 5 per Cent ditto are 1107, and the 30
Years ditto, 151. Exchequer Bills are again marked
le. dis. to 2s, prem. India descriptions remain
without much alteration ; the 5 per Cents. are
1084 t, the Enfaced ditto, 108, and the Bonds, 163.

Several important changes have occurred in the
Foreign Market, and business is active. Mexican
have risen 1, to 391 I. Greek are I better, at 371 1.
The Coupons are ~14. higher, at 181 I. Portuguese
Loan improved to 4.91 501; Spanish Passive to 341
351-. The Certificates are firm at 131 d; Turkish 6
per Cents., 1862, at 70 + ; and the Consolides, have
risen 1, viz., to 528 1. The Confederate Loan,
however, is 2 per cent. lower, at 27 to 25 discount.
In the other descriptions the alterations have been
mostly devoid of any special feature of interest.
Egyptian 7 per Cents. have been marked 1011 for
the first, and 1001 f)Y the second issue; Russian 5
per Cents., 921 93 ; Vonezuelan 3 per Cents., 25 1
—a rise of 1 per cent.—and the 4 per Cents. have
advanced to 584 591. Business has also been ne-
gotiated in Brazilian 5 per Cents. at 1021 103; and
Italian 5 per Cents. at 72 1.
In the Railway Share Market there has been a
very limited amount of business negociated, and
prices have in most instances shown less firmness.
Great Eastern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and
Midland have each receded 55., and South Eastern,
10e.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
Without material variation.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally are at
enhanced quotations. Bank of Egypt have im-
proved ss. ; Imperial Ottoman, 55.; London and
Country, ss. ; International Financial shares are
quoted 101 1 ; General Credit and Finance, 4I
Hudson Bay Company, 41 j; and Egyptian Trad-
ing Company, 31/.
