MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLO C
Monetary affairs remain in a quiet but rather
stringent condition. Bankers and brokers are
awaiting the Gazette return and the result of the
Weekly court to-morrow before offering any con- I tit
cession to the commercial classes. There is little
belief that the value of money will be cheaper for
some time to come, and it would not excite surprise
if the reserves of the Bank necessitated the addition
of another 1 per cent. to the official minimum. A
Much less active demand for accommodation now
prevails ; but it is only in exceptional instances, viz.,
for first class bankers' acceptances, that k per cen
less has been taken.

An adjourned meeting of the Confederate Cotton
130ndholders was held at the London Tavern this
day, for the purpose of receiving a report of the
committee appointed at the first meeting, which was
held on the 4th ult. The opinion of Mr. Fleming, on
the case submitted to him, left no doubt that, sooner
or later, either the United States or the States lately
forming the Confederation, would recognise and pay
the loan. On the perusal of that opinion, which
shows that the loan was a perfectly legitimate trans-
action, the committee considered it would be
highly desirable that the bonds of the loan should
be quoted like other loans in the official list of the
Stock Exchange, and more especially as large trans-
actions were daily taking place in it by the members
of the Stock Exchange and the public.

Two o'CLocK.
At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, th© 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 82c.

Prices at the Stock Exchange to-day have indi-
cated a feeling of much depression, though the fluc-
tuations have not been of great extent. The prin-
cipal cause of such a condition of affairs is the
illness of our Premier and its apprehended result.
Speculators for a fall have effected additional sales,
and recent operators for a rise have in many cases
closed their engagements. Consols are down i per
cent., the quotations being 881 for money, and
88i 89 for the account. As usual, there is a propor-
tionate depression in the New Threes and Reduced
Ann uities, as well as in all other descriptions of
Government Securities. Yesterday there was a
ti in India Stock at 218, and to-day another
at 217.

Numerous sales have taken place place in the
Foreign Stock Market, and quotations are generally
lower. Turkish Consniides have declined to
47 4 ; Mexican, to 25i ; the New Loan, to
24i k; Greek, to 19 ; Spanish Passive, eto
28i 4 ; and Certificates, to 141; Italian are 631
64i ; Confederate Loan, 68 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 1,
2i prem. 11

American Securities are also at less values. ii
United States 5-20 Bonds are 638 64i ; Erie
Shares, 57 8 ; and Illinois, 821 838.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
inactive, and prices in several instances have shown
less firmness. Great Northern have declined 18 ;
Metropolitan, 4 ; Great Western, Lancashire and lc
Yorkshire, and South Eastern each 8. IC
The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained s
Without change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been dull.
London and County have declined to 77i. Oriental 5
Bank are dealt in ats2 ; Overend, Gurney, and Co.,
at 188 8 ; Allan's Atlantic Telegraph Company are ;,
quoted 2to 2i prem. ; Gale's Protected Gunpowder s
Company 1.1 28 prem, ; Merchants' Company, dis.
prem, and Transatlantic Steam Ship, par, 1 prem.
