MONEY-MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'CLock.
At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's. telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 80c.

An improvement of 1 per cent. has taken place
in the English Funds, and the market presents a
favourable appearance. The suddenness with which
the death of Lord Palmerston came upon the pub-
lic caused at first a slight decline, but now a re-
action has occurred, and Consols are 884 for
money, and 891 1 for the account. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 871 ; Exche-
quer Bills, June, Bs. to ss. dis. ; India Stock, 217 k;
ditto 5 per Cents, 1044 105 ; ditto Enfaced 5k
per Cents., 107 k 108 k ; ditto 4 per Cent. Deben-
tures, 984 ; and Bank of England Stock, 250.
As in the English so in the Foreign department
there has been a marked return from the momentary
depression. Business has been a little more lively
owing to the purchases which have caused the
reactionary tendency. The latest prices are as
follows :—Turkish Consolides, 48 f ; Mexican,
25k ; the New Loan, 24k ; Spanish Passive,
9/ f, showing a considerable improvement ;
Certificates, 141 f ; Italian, 63f 8 ; Confederate
Loan, 6 7 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 3 f prem.
American Securities are likewise buoyant.
United States 5-20 Bonds are 64 f ; Erie Shares,
574 581 ; and Illinois, 83 f.
The directors of Messrs. Smith, Knight, and Co.
have replied to the accusations made against them
by the committee of investigation. All the charges
all made seriatim, and the directors appear in a
more satisfactory light than could have been anti-
cipated from the first report.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
dull, but a firmer tone has prevailed, and prices
generally are a shade higher. Lancashire and
Yorkshire, and South Eastern have each advanced
53 ; and Great Western, Metropolitan, and Mid-
land each 10s.
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been very little business entered into, and quo-
tations remain unaltered.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull. Char-
tered of India, Australia, and China have receded
234 ; Alliance are dealt in at 314 ; Imperial Ottoman,
at 151 e; Imperial Mercantile Credit, at 71 ; and
National Discount Company, at 15i ; Overend,
Gurney, and Company have improved to 14 191 ;
Allan's Transatlantic Telegraph Company shares
are quoted 2 to 21 prem. ; Transatlantic Steam -
18hip Company, par, 1 prem. ; Merchants' Company,
4 (US* 4 prem. ; London and Australian Agency, 1 1
; and Tass'o Brazilian Gold Mining Company
prem.

The Bank of England rate of discount remains at
7 per cent., and a more favourable feeling has been
the consequence. The commercial public are bring-
ing forward their bills more freely, and the brokers 1
are negotiating business with less caution than they
recently observed. First-class bills are rather a
fraction below the official minimum, and there is an ;
expectation that the return to be published this
evening will contain alterations of a satisfactory
character. The gold has received an accession of
More than half a million during the week, and it is
riot at all improbable that some coin from the coun- E
try and Ireland has found its way into the Bank.
An influx of £155,000 took place at the Bank of s
England yesterday.
The directors of the St. John d'El Rey Mining
Company (Limited) have received the following re-
Port, dated Morro Velho, Sept. 16, 1865 :—Produce
for August, 38,681 oitavas ; cost for August, £9,383 ;
profit for August, £5,518 ; produce, 11 days of 1,
September, 17,016 oitavas ; yield, 9.453 oitavas
