MONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The commercial public are anxiously awaiting to
hear if the Bank of England directors will advance
their rate of discount. The passages leading to the
court are filled with an eager crowd to learn the
result of the deliberations, although this is not the
day for the weekly meeting of the authorities. This
fact in itself is sufficient to indicate the perplexity
of the mercantile community. In the open market
the brokers have very little capital at their disposal,
and will not negotiate business under the official
miniinum. Yesterday there was a further sum of
£159,000 in gold withdrawn from the Bank for
exportation to the continent, and the movement of
the precious metals is, it is almost needless to add,
Watched with great interest.
The Imperial Ottoman Bank has received advices
from their Bucharest agency of the receipt from the
Government of the usual monthly remittance of
£5,300 for the interest, and £1,400 for the sinking
fund, of the Danubian Loan.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been very little
animation. Sugars have remained without material
alteration in value, while a moderate business has
been done in coffee, at about former rates. Rice
has been dull, but there has been rather more
inquiry for tallow, and quotations for both present
and forward delivery are well maintained.

Two o'CLocK.
According to Reuter's telegram the 3 per Cent.
French Rentes were quoted at 68f. 95c.
The English Stock Market continues very de-
pressed, although no further change in prices has
taken place. What will now for the next few days
contribute to the dulness prevailing are the prepa-
rations for the fortnightly settlement. Consols are
quoted 868 87 for money, and 871 for the ac-
count.

Foreign Securities have slightly improved. Turk-
ish Consolides are 471 1. Mexican ex all 24/ ;
the New Loan, 22i / ; Greek Bonds, 154 16f ;
Spanish Passive, 271 ; the Certificates 141 1;
Italian 641 ; the new loan 76k 77 ; the Con-
federate, 89 ; Brazilian Scrip, 1i prem.; Turkish

5 per Cent. paid up scrip 1865, 431 I ; Venezuela,
6 per Cents., 1862, 36k.

American securities are very dull. United State,.
5.20 Bonds are 62i ; Erie shares, 574 i ; and
Illinois, 801 I.

In the Railway Share Market there has been
very little animation, and prices generally showed
increased heaviness. Great Northern A Stock have
declined Zl, North Eastern (Berwick) 155., Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire and Midland each 10s., and
Great Eastern and North Western each ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive
at about former rates.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares, generally, are
very quiet, and at barely previous quotations.
Colonial shares are quoted 1 prem. ; Atlantic and
Great Western Railway Consolidated Mortgage
Bonds, prem. ; British Convention Bonds of
Mexico, 65 70 ; Commercial Company of Africa,
1 prem. ; the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of

Wharf Company (Limited) shares, 1 1i prem. ;
the London Steam Towing Company, 1k prem. ;
Charles Laffitte and Co., 4 14 prem.
