IYfONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE 0' CLOC K.

The Money Market, like every other place of
business, is inactive, and few operations are in
progress. Most of the large warehouses and offices
are entirely closed, and the attendance at the places
which are opened is exceedingly limited. The day
presents the appearance of a national holiday.
The tea trade is thus reviewed by Messrs. Taylor
and Co. in their circular :—" The demand has been
less active during the past fortnight, and owing to
the close approach of holidays the trade have, as
much as possible, refrained from making any very
important additions to their stock; importers have,
however, continued to supply the market freely
from the recent arrivals, and under some pressure
to realise prices have suffered a considerable decline,
both Kaisows and Monings, at Is. 9d. to 2s. 3d.
per lb., showing a fall of fully 3d. per lb. from the
highest point attained in the early part of last
month.
