CONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

An easier feeling in discount circles has been ap-
parent this morning, but the rates continue firm at
per cent. The settlements at the Stock Exchange
are completed, and the influence of the cessation of
demand from this quarter is now being favourably
experienced by the mercantile public.
About £5,000 in gold was taken in, and 100,000
sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yester-
day.

In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was no material change.
The Egyptian Commercial and Trading Company
ic a new undertaking deriving considerable im-
portance from its introduction by several eminent
mercantile firms in this country and on the Con-
tinent, including the International Financial
Society. Its object is the development of com-
merce with Upper Egypt, Nubia, the Soudan, and
adjoining countries, as well as the borders of the
Red Sea, by establishing trading relations with
these districts. Agencies are to be appointed on
both coasts of the Red Sea, and the operations
of the company will extent from Cairo,
up the Nile, following the courses of the
White and Blue Nile, whilst communication will
be carried on between the interior and the Red
Sea and its east and west coasts. The company
will buy or exchange the produce, consisting of
cotton, coffee, sugar, rice, tobacco, gums, oils,
ivory, senna, beeswax, ostrich feathers, gold dust,
silk, indigo, &c. The Viceroy of Egypt is assist-
ing the mercantile public of •his dominions by means
of subsidies and telegraphic communications between
the principal towns, and thus rendering important
cervices in developing his country's resources.
Advances are to be made to the cultivators of the
soil, who, it is said, can well afford to pay four or
five per cent. per month for monetary accommoda-
tion, and this department of the company's business
will not be the least important and lucrative. The
capital is fixed at £2,000,000, which is to be raised
by £2O shares. Three-fourths of the amount has
been already subscribed.
Mauritius Government 6 per Cent. debentures
for 1400,000, one half in bonds having ten years
to run, and the other half in bonds having 15 years
to run,were offered to public competition by the Agent
General for Crown Colonies yesterday. The mini
mum declared for the former was 105, and for the
latter 1061. The application for the 10 years' bonds
amounted to £122,400, of which £107,800, ranging
from 105 to 1031, was allotted, leaving £92,200
indisposed of. The application for the 15 years'
bonds reached £299,200, of which £285,700 were
at and above the minimum, and the whole £200,000
Was disposed of at prices ranging from £lO7 3s. 6d.
to £ll3 2s. 6d. The crown agents intimated their
willingness to treat the highest of the rejected ten-
ders for the 15 years' bonds as applications for the
balance of the ten years' bonds, if the persons in-
terested so desired.

At the annual meeting to-day of the shareholders
of the South Australian Cqmpany, Mr. Edward
Divett, M.P., in the chair, the report, recom
mending the payment of the usual dividend, viz ,
7 per cent. per annum, or 355. per share, on the
15th July and 16th January next, was unanimously
ettrried.

telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
68f 70c, 68t' 65c. Heavy. •
The transactions in the English department of
the Stock Exchange continue circumscribed, and
they have not led to any change in values, Consols
being 92 k for money, and 921 a for the account.
Speculation is restricted on account of operators
deVoting their almost exclusive attention to foreign
bonds and railway shares. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 91i g. A transaction has
taken place in the 30 Years Annuities, 1855, 141 15.
the India 5 per Cent. Loan is quoted at 1071 to
1081, the Debentures are 1001 t, and the Bonds
12s. to 16s. prem.
General heaviness prevails in the Foreign De-
partment, and business is rather quiet. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1862, are 711 72 ; ditto Consolides,
504 51 ; Mexican, 37: i; Greek, 39 391 ; ditto

In the Railway Share Market the operations
have been of a very restricted character. Great
Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, and
South Eastern have each improved about 58., while
london, Chatham, and Dover have declined 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings generally
remain without any material variation.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares

of Australasia New Shares realise 314 d ; London
and Brazilian, 42i; Peninsular and Oriental Steam,
inf. International Financial Shares are quoted
61 prem. ; London Financial, 28 S prem.; General
Credit ditto, 21 t prem. ; and the Egyptian Com-
