MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market to-day is fair but quiet, the
requirements of the mercantile community continu-
ing moderate, but there is a slight increase in the
supply of bills from the country. Accommodation
is still obtainable as low as 24 per cent., but this
rate only applies to paper of a very superior descrip-
tion. The terms for loans at the Stock Exchange
are rather firmer.

The bullion operations at the Bank of England
yesterday were of an unimportant character.

The tenders for bills on India for this month were
opened at the Bank of England yesterday. The
minimum price declared was—for bills on Calcutta
ls. 11'-,,d. per rupee, and on Bombay and Madras
25., being the same as on former occasions. The
amount tendered for at and above the minimum
rate was about 27t lacs out of 30 lace, for which
the Council of India was prepared to issue bills, but
the tenders on Bombay being in excess of the allotted
amount, applicants will' only receive about one-half
of their tenders, while those on Calcutta and Ma-
dras will be accepted in full.
