MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the discount market to-day there has not been
much animation, but fully late rates are demanded.
The operations on the English Funds have been
limited, and a slight depression is apparent.
Foreign Securities are flat, and exhibit little ani-
mation.

A sum of £48,000 was withdrawn from the Bank
yesterday.

Bonds of £256,000 for the second half yearly
sinking fund of the Consolidated 5 per Cent. Peru-
vian Loan of 1865, to be paid off at par, will be
drawn on the 2nd proximo at the office of Mr. L.
H. Ilaselwood.

The list for the application for shares in the Tre-
castle Coal Company will close on Friday next for
London, and on Saturday for the country.
The bullion movement during the past week has
again been of a rather extensive character as re-
gards the receipts, owing to large arrivals from
America, the West Indies, and Pacific. The im-
ports have amounted to about £607,240, while the
exports have been confined to remittances to the
Continent through private sources, estimated at
about £975,340.

PROGRESS OF THE GEORGIA CENTRAL RAILROAD.
—ln conversation with General Superintendent Adams,
says the Macon Messenger of the 23d instant, we learn that
61 miles of the road from Savannah are now in operation.
The cars are running to station No. 6. Thirty-five miles
of the branch from Augusta are completed, and it is hoped
the whole distance between Augusta and Savannah (of
Which 29 miles now remain to be built) will be finished in
the course of a month. The calculation is to have the
Whole road in operation some time next spring. But the
difficulties in the way of rapid progress are unprecedented
and appalling.
