The commercial demand for money is decidedly
below what is usually experienced at this period of
the quarter. Until the dividend money comes upon
the market, bankers and discounters appear to be
in hopes that they will be able to keep up the rates,
but the quarter turned it is probable that the supply
of money will increase. There is nothing in the
present condition of trade to render the market
active, and the demand arising from the recent
foreign loans has now been for the most part satis-
fied. At the Bank of England to-day business was
slack. In other quarters there were occasional
transactions a fraction below three per cent.
There is a rumour that the amount of the pro-
posed Pertuguese Loan is larger than has been

per cent. ex div. is contemplated as thu price of

gin. The loan will probably be 'negotiated through
Messrs. Knowles and Foster.

later news, and:the Persia, with news a week later,

Saturday next. The Saxonia, New York, and Persia
are all expected to bring specie.

general discount market, and
as

inquiries at the
accepted for first-claes bills, the

however, the supply of mercantile securities on
offer may be expected to increase, and a little more

charge for advances on Consols, &c.

day in the market for Public Securities, the few
transactions entered into having been recorded at

at 3s. to Bs. prem. Bank Stock is fiat at 2331
