MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the general discount market to-day the opera-
tions are conducted on rather an extensive scale, and
the bankers and brokers still enforce full terms for
all the business they negotiate. The directors of
the Bank of England have held their usual weekly
court, and as expected have refrained from im-
mediate action with regard to the minimum quo-
tation, although the opinion prevails that the period
is not far distant when a reduction to the extent of
per cent. may be consistently adopted.
A further sum of £64,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The Ripon, which conveys the Calcutta and
China mails on the 4th, will take out £105,690 in
Silver, and £7 491 in gold, besides medals and clasps,
'valued at £lO,BOO.
The Sasonia has brought £22,389 in specie.
The biddings for 40,00.000 rupees (£400,000) in
bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank
of England. The proportions allotted were—to
Calcutta, 22,70,000 rupees ; to Bombay, 16,00,000
rupees ; to Madras, 1,30,000 rupees. The de•
Oared minimum price was as before Is. 119 d. per
rupee on Calcutta, and ls. 111 d. on Bombay and
Madras. The applications within the limit amounted
to 295 lace. Tenders on Calcutta at Is. 11-P. will
receive about 41 per cent., on Bombay at ls.
about 85 per cent. All above these prices, and all
tenders on Madras, will receive in full.

The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were

Business in the market for the English Funds
remains in much the same condition as for some
time past, speculation being dull, while the opera-
tions of the investing public are also too limited to
create activity. Consols, nevertheless, continue
firm at 938 2 for money and the 9th inst., and 931
94 for the Bth proximo. The New Threes continue
steady at 921 2 ; the Reduced Annuities at 928 1.

the 5:4- ditto at 117 ; and in the Debentures at 100;
