NONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Outing to the liquidation of bills due to-day, the
4th of
the month, the demand for money has been
rather more animated, but the market nevertheless
retains a quiet appearance. Accommodation is ob-
tainable on lower terms in discount circles than at
the Bank of England, and it is probable that the
return which will appear to-morrow afternoon from
that establishment will show a failing off in other
securities.
The Continental Exchanges, yesterday afternoon,
exhibited no material alteration.

At the forthcoming meeting of tie Electric and
International Telegraph Comp any a dividend of
3k per cent. for the half-year will be proposed.
Geld is now of about the same value in London
and Paris, but about 6-10tha per cent. dearer here
than in Hamburg.

The suspension has been announced of Messrs.
G. W. Reynolds and Co., steel manufacturers, ofthe
Manchester Works, Smetimick and Birmingham.
The liabilities are estimated at £30,006, but the
assets are presumed to be considerable.

The directors of the Mackwall Railway recom-
mend a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. against
31 per cent. last year.

Notice has been given that the Scrip of the Peru-
vian Loan of 1862 can be exchanged for Bonds on
and after the 10th inst.

The third annual general meetingof- the Ocean
Marine Insurance Company was held to-day,—Mr.
J. W. Cater in the chair. The report stated that,
after making provision for the final liquidation of
the preliminat y expanses, and after payment of all
claims, losses, &c., to Dec. 31, 1862, a balance of
£189,287 remained, from which the directors recom-
mended that a sum of £10,005 be paid to the pro-
prietors as interest on the paid op capital,
at the rate of five per cent. per annum,
and that the balance (£179.287) ne carried forward
against the current risks, &c. The chairman, in
Moving the adoption of the report, stated that the
Company had made extraordinary progress since its
establishment. The total risks taken during the
past year amounted to £22,000,000, which was an
increase of £10.000,000 upon last year, and of
£13,000,000 upon 1860. In 1860 the premiums
had averaged 365. 3d. per cent.; in 1861, 335. 2d.
per cent.; and for the past year, 28s. per cent. The
report was unanimously adopted, and the number
of directors increased from 16 to 18.

Inert aced firmness has been apparent to-day in
the Market for the English Funds, owing to the
more favourable tendency of the specie movement
and the prospect of money getting easier if the
stock of bullion at the Bank of England should in-
crease. Consols have risen I per cent., viz., to 921 f
for tratsfer, and to 921 for March. The New
Three per Cents, and the Reduced are firmer at
921 1 ; Exchequer Bills remain at 4s. dis. to par ;
Bank Stock is 236; India do., 228 and 230; and
do. 5 per C,nt. Loan, 108 t.

In the Foreign department the most conspicuous
movement has been the further rise in Greek Bonds,
viz., to 22/ ; and the Coupons to 101 I ; Egyptian
are buoyant at 991 ; ditto 2d issue, at 984',',—,; Mexi-
can Stock has improved to 331; Peruvian New
Loan to 886; Portuguese ditto 47 ; Russian ditto
95 ; Spanish Passive have advanced to 271 ; ditto
Certificates to 10 I ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854,
to 87 88; ditto 1838, 72 Q ; ditto, 1862, 681 ; and
the Consolides, 411,- 1, being rather depressed.
In the Railway Share Market the operations
were to an average extent, but a farther downward
movement took place in prices. London and Black-
wall have declined 55.; Great Westerns, London,
Chatham, and Dover, North Western, South
Western, and Metropolitan, 10s.; and Midlands,
and Great Northern A Stock, £1 10s. ; Caledonians
and Great Easterns, however, improved 55., and
South Eisterns 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
without any material change in values. Soutn
Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian realise 234;
Great Western of Canada, 13; and East Indian,
10%.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscdlaneous Shares
generally maintained previous rates Ottoman
Bank improved to 38 tnd 39 ; Union of Lon
don, to 321. 33;

PROSPECTS OF THE SESSION.--h.,t
:not easy to eonjec.ure the possible occasion of a
Ministerial defeat, there will be no difficulty in finding an
excuse for a change of Government, if the House of Com-
mons really desires it. The China vote and the conspiracy
votes had been previously unforeseen, and in both instances
an irritable feeling against the Government rendered a
coalition of hostile sections practicable. Lord Pahnerston's
more sanguine opponents believe that his hold on Parlia-
ment and the country is once more shaken, and if their
opinion is well founded, the most insignificant proposition
may serve for the foundation of a damaging or decisive
division. In the last extremity, the Minister would almost
certainly resort to a dissolution; and the dislike of mem-
bers t precipitate a meeting with their constituents will
moderate their zeal in opposition. As Lord Derby dis-
solved four years ago, no plausible objection could be
raised to the employment of the same resource by Lord
Palmerston. On the whole, the Government has a chance,
but by no means a certainty, of surviving the session,—.
