A more subdued and satisfactory feeling prevails
in monetary circles, and as evidence of this fact the
brokers are evincing a desire to secure the best com-
mercial bills at the official minimum of 7 per cent.
There is still, however, some anxiety existing as to
the progress discount affairs may take ; and though
it is believed that the present high rate may prove
sufficient to check any extraordinary demand for
money, it would not create astonishment if a further
advance were deemed necessary.
ithin the last few days there has been less ani-
mation in the market for foreign and colonial pro-
duce. Sugars have maintained former rates, while
Superior descriptions of coffee have slightly advanced.
A moderate business has been done in the new
season's teas, at full rates, while rice has been dull.
In the tallow market prices, after rising to a con-
siderable extent, have since receded, consequent
upon speculative sales induced by the rise in the
value of money.
The half-year's interest due on equipment mort-
gage bonds of the Grand Trunk Railway Company
of Canada will be payable on and after Monday
next.

A meeting of the shareholders of the Continental
Union Gas Company, Lewis Cubitt, Esq., in the
chair, was held to-day, when a dividend at the rate
of 8 per cent. per annum was declared.
The subscription list for the London issue of the
National Bank of Australasia will close on Satur-
day next, the 14th inst.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 80c. Firm ; rather animated.

A further improvement has taken place in the
market for the English Funds. The transactions
have not been numerous, but the public, as inves-
tors and speculators, have bought freely--hence an
advance of 1 per cent. Consols are 881 for
money, 891 1 for the account. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 86} ; Exchequer
Bills, ss. to 9s. die ; India 5 per Cents., 104/ 105 ;
and ditto 4 per Cents. 961.
Foreign Stocks are a little flatter, owing to a few
sales. Turkish Consolides are 481 1; Mexican,
ex all bonds, 251 1 ; the New, 241 ; Greek, 20 1 ;
Spanish Passive, 281 ; do. Certificate, 131 14i ;
Italian, 63/ 64 ; Confederate Loan, 6 8 ; and
Brazilian Scrip, 31 prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
dull, but prices generally show an upward tendency.
Brighton and Metropolitan have each improved £1 ;
Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Western,
each 10s. ; and South Eastern, ss.
In the Foreign and Colonial lines there' is little
change of importance.
American Securities have not been in good re-
quest, and quotations are generally unsteady.
United States 5-20 Bonds are 681 1 ; Erie shares,
68 1; and Illinois, 821 1.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue very
quiet. London Bank of Mexico have declined to
14 ; Mexican Bank to 251 ; Bank of Egypt to 301
Hudson Bay Company are dealt in at 151; London
Financial at 22/ ; and Overend, Gurney, and Co.
