NEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TwELvz o'CLoca.

The directors of the Bank of England this morn-
ing advanced their rate of discount a further 1 per
cent., viz., to 6 per cent. The demand in the
general market continues active, and only first-class
paper can be negociated at that rate.

A meeting of the holders of the United States
Bonds, &c., whereon the interest or dividends are
now in arrear, arising from the late war and other
causes, will be held at the London Tavern, on
Tuesday, the 10th inst., to consider the financial
position of the securities, and to form a committee
to represent and protect the interest of all con-
cerned.

Business in the English Stock Market is very
dull, and there is a decline of 1 in Consols, the
prices being 881 89 for money and account.
The foreign department of the Stock Exchange is
very flat, consequent upon the rise of the rate of
discount. Turkish Consolides are 481 9 ; Mexican,
26/ 26 ; the New Loan, 241 ; Greek, 20 1 ;
Spanish Certificates, 71 4 ; Italian, 63i ; the
Confederate Loan, 6 7 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 31 I.

Two o'CLoca.
At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. itentes were
68f. 30c. All very flat.
Conversation in monetary and commercial circles
to-day has principally turned upon the altered
position of the discount market, now that the rate
of the Bank has been up to 6 per cent., but with
the exception of a few disappointed at the different
aspect of contracts based upon the late rates, there
is no objection urged with regard to the policy
adopted by the authorities.

Specula-6e securities have mostly declined, and
the Stock Exchange is altogether dull and heavy.
The Funds soon exhibited signs of increased weak-
ness. Consols are f lower, being 881 89 for trans-
fer, and 88i 89f for the account. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 86f 87f ; India Stock,
219 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 104-1 105 f ; ditto Deben-
tures 4 per Cent., 1866, 99.
It will be seen by the following prices that
Mexican, Spanish Passive, and most of the other
principal Foreign Securities have declined. Some
of the latest prices are as follows :—Turkish Con=
solides are 48.1 49 ; Mexican, 251 ; the New,
25f 4 ; Greek, 20 ; Spanish Passive, 29f 1 ; the
Certificates, 141 ; Italian, 63f ; and Brazilian
Scrip, 31 f.
A heavy tone has been apparent in the Railway
Share Market, and prices have sympathised with
the decline in the English and Foreign Funds.
Great Northern A Stock and Metropolitan have
each declined £1 10s. ; North-Eastern (Berwick),
£1; Great Eastern, Great Western, Lancashire and
Yorkshire and South-Eastern, 10s ; and North
Western and Midland, ss.
In the Foreign and Colonial lines there is little
change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, al-
though prices generally remain steady. London
Bank of Mexico are dealt in at 15. London and
County at 78f. English, Scottish, and Australian
Chartered 2.1 f. Electric Telegraph at 130. Lon-
don Financial at 23f. National Discount Com-

Agency to 1* prem. Tasso Brazilian Gold
Mining Company 4 to I prem., and Allan's Trans-
atlantic Telegraph Company Ito prem.
