MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Money has been in comparatively small demand
to-day, and. the rates have continued to show a
tendency towards greater easiness ; 31 and 3i are
still, however, the charges required for granting ac-
commodation upon best short dated paper.. The
supplies of capital have slightly increased, and there
LS good reason to believe that an abundance of
money will prevail in a few days.
The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised an influx of £30,000, and a withdrawal
of £4,000 in gold.
The City of Washington, from New York, has
brought £4,600, and the Hansa £23,700, the
greater portion of which is for France.
In the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was no. change.
The prospectus has appeared of the City of Mos-
cow Gas Company requiring a capital of £875,000
in shares of £25 each. The profitable nature of
similar undertakings on the Continent have induced
the promoters of the present project to bring it be-
fore the notice of the public. The city contains a
population of half a million, with the Emperor's
palace, and numerous public and private buildings,
none of which are properly lighted. A concession
for 30 years, giving the exclusive privilege of sup-
plying the town with gas, has been obtained, and
a contract made with Smith, Knight, and Co., who,
while constructing the works, will pay 7 per cent.
interest on the capital paid up. The shares are
1 2i prem. The brokers are Messrs. Hill, Faw-
cett, and Hill.
The Directors of the Great Western Railway of
Canada have decided to recommend a dividend at
the rate of 2 per cent. per annum for the half-year
ending January last, and to carry forward a balance
of £4,570 13s. 7d.
The share list of the London and South African
Steam Ship Company is to be closed on Thursday
next.

The share list of the Anglo-Egyptian Navigation
Company will close on Thursday, 6th instant, for
London, and Friday, 7th, for the country.

telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f.

The tone of the English Stock Market has not
been quite so buoyant as yesterday, although quota-
tions have not shown any tendency to recede.
Rumours of failures are checking the rise in prices,
but it is still thought that, with lower money, the
Funds must continue to find investors. Consols for
money are 90} -a, and for the account 904 The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89i ;
Exchequer ; Bills, 3s. prem. India 5
106 f per Cents.,

mation, andprices have tended downwards. Turkish

proved £1 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, and
Midland, each 10s. ; and Great Eastern, Great
Western, North Eastern (Berwick), and South
