HONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Discount Market is still in a very firm con-
dition, and the inquiry is active for loans as well
as for the negotiation of commercial bills. Bankers
and bill brokers are not very well supplied ; they
consequently show an indisposition to transact
business under 4 per cent.—the official rate.
The Brazilian Loan having been so successful no
doubt affects the market, as it will lead to shipments
of specie ; but one of the principal influences in force
is the large circulation of notes and gold in the
agricultural districts for harvest purposes.
In consequence of the recent continued activity
and firmness of the discount market it was supposed
that the Bank of England return for the past week
would prove unsatisfactory, but the results, as will
be seen from the subjoined analysis, are not un-
favourable :

The weekly return of the Bank of:France shows
some favourable alterations. There is a diminution
in the discounts of £520,000, of £360,000 in the
notes in circulation, and an addition of £208,000 to
treasury balances, which at this period of the year
may be partially attributed to a falling off of £250,000
in the amount of the current accounts.

Stagnation still prevails in almost all departments
of the Stock Exchange, but notwithstanding the
apathy of the public, both as regards investments
and speculations, prices are exceedingly well main-
tained. Consols have continued steady at 891 for
money, and at about 89i for the account, but in
the latter no dealings have been officially recorded.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities have been

dealt in at 87i 88 ; India 5 per Cents., at 1051 I ;
and the Enf aced 5 per Cents. at 89.
Foreign Stocks have generally remained in a
steady position, but Mexican have shown a little
heaviness. The lat3st prices of the principal Secu-
rities have been as follows :—Turkish Consolides,
491 ; Mexican, 25 ; do. New, 24 ; Greek,
21 ; Spanish Passive, 30 ; do. Certificates, 141
15 ; the Confederate Loan, 7 8 ; Brazilian Scrip is
2i I.
In the Railway Share Market there has been very
little animation, and prices have remained without
change of importance. Brighton and North Eastern
(Berwick) have each improved 10s., and Great
Western have declined 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial lines are in moderate
request, at strong rates.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain ra-
ther firmer. European Bank are dealt in at 1211;
London and Brazilian at 441 45; ; Bank of Austra-
lasia at 76-4- ; Union of London at 53i 54 ; Fore-
street Warehouse at 81 9 ; Overend, Gurney, and
Company are quoted k i prem. ; Atlantic Tele-
graph Company, li 2 per share ; and Transatlantic
Steamship at 2 21 prem.
