MONEY MARKEt

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is showing symptoms of in-
creasing firmness. The 'brokers are loth to take less
than three per cent. for the best short-dated bills,
a belief having gained ground that some heavy ship-
ments of specie is about to take place, and that the
official minimum will consequently be advanced. A
little activity has been causeed by a large number
(q Australian engagements arriving at maturity to-
day, but beyond this there as been little other
business.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have
appointed Thursday, July 20, a special settling day
in the 50,000 preference shares of the Atlantic Tele-
graph Company, recently issued by the Credit
Alobilier and Foncier Company. These shares are
already quoted in the official lists. The committee
have also ordered that the shares of the Dagenham
(Thames) Dock Company are to be marked in the
twice-a-week list.

At a general meeting of shareholders of the City
Bank, held to-day, the report presented stated that
the accounts to the 30th June show a gross profit
for the six months of £65,315, enabling the direc-
tors to declare the usual dividend of 6 per cent.,
and a bonus of £2 ss. per share.
It has been announced that the subscription list
of the General Estates Company wjll close on
Saturday next, the 22d inst.

Two O'CLOCK.
The English Market has been quiet, but prices
have nevertheless continued at their former value.
iLittle speculation is now in progress, and the num-
er of dealings for investment daily recorded is very
nlimited. Consols remain at 891 90 for money,
and at 90 / for the account. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 891 1 ; the 21 per
Cents., 72 1 ; Exchequer Bills, par to 4s. prem. ;
and India 5 per Cent., 1041 1.
The market for Foreign Stock has been dull, and
Prices have varied very little. Turkish Consolides
lively, at 491 ; Mexican, ex. all, are 241, and the
New Loan is 231 ; Greek Bonds, 211; Spanish
Passive, 291 291 ; Certificates, 14/ 1 ; Italian,
64 4 ; and the Confederate Loan is 7 9. The
American Securities show very little change.
United States 5-20 Bonds are 711 721 ; Erie
Shares, 54
•

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been limited ; prices, however, have generally
*own more firmness. Great Northern, Great
Western, and London, Chatham, and Dover have
each advanced 10s. ; and North Eastern (Berwick),
53.) while Metropolitan have declined £l.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
roaterial alteration.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, at about
Previous prices. London and County have improved
to 76i 77 ; and London Financial are quoted 22f.

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR. —Among the pas-
sengers by the African mail steamer Ethiope was
Captain Gibson, of the barque Irene, belonging to Messrs.
Stewart and Douglas, of Liverpool, who states that while
in his boat in the Old Calabar river, on the 18th of April,
alongside the ship Hannah Salkeld, he was suddenly at-
tacked by a body-of armed Kroomen, headed by several
Englishmen, servants of the various trading establishments
in the river. Mr. Gibson says that ho was knocked down
bleeding and insensible in his boat, and afterwards im-
prisoned for a week on board of the Hannah Salkeld. His
assailants also went on board his vessel and stole a quantity
of his private property, as well as his ship's papers, charts,
etc. By tho advice of the Consuls in the districts, Mr.
Gibson has returned home to lay hid complaints before the
proper officers of the Government.
