MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The course of monetary affairs is tending in a
very satisfactory direction. The demand for accom-
modation is very small, the supply of capital large,
and the rates are 3:1, and 3i per cent.
The Stock Exchange committee have appointed
Friday, Sept. 1, a special settling-day in the ordi-
nary stock deferred dividend of the Great Northern
Railway Company, to be marked ; and also Tues-
day, Sept. 5, in the new shares of the Illinois Cen-
tral Railroad Company, all claims for new shares to
be settled on the same day.

Gold to the amount of £15,000 was taken to the
Bank of England yesterday afternoon.
The directors of the Anglo-Greek Steam Naviga-
tion Company have resolved that the share list be
closed on Wednesday, Sept. G.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has not been much
animation. Sugars have fully sustained former
prices. For coffee there has been a very limited
inquiry at barely previous quotations. Rice has
been in fair demand at full rates, while moderate
dealings have been reported in tallow for both pre-
sent and forward delivery at steady rates.

Two o'CLocic.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
68f. 65c. Firm.

faced 5 per Cents:, 104-1-,; ditto 4 per Cent. Bonds,

Stock Dlarket. Turkish Consolides are 48f ;
Mexican, 231 ; the New Loan, 22i 23 ; Greek,
20 Spanish Passive, 29+ ; Certificates, 14 + ;
Italian, 64+ ; and the Confederate Loan, 68.

rather dull, but prices, in most instances, are firmer.
Great Northern A Stock has advanced £2 ; Metro-
politan, £1 10s. ; Midland, £1 ; South Eastern,
15s. ; Brighton, North Western, each 10s. ; and
Great Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire

THREE MEN AND A DOG BITTEN BY AN ADDER.
—On Saturday three men, named W. Perfitt, J.
Lane, and J. Andrews, who had been bitten by an adder,
were admitted under the care of Mr. Treeves, house surgeon
at St. Thomas's Hospital. On the previous night, while
at tho Coopers' Arms, Portland-street, Walworth, Perfitt
drew from his pocket what they supposed to be a snake,
which they had picked up on Hayes-common, where they
had been on an excursion, and suddenly found himself
bitten severely in the left thumb. Perfitt threw the reptile
on the table, and both his companions, in endeavouring to
capture it, were also similarly bitten. It got on the floor,
and a dog, in attempting to seize it, was bitten in the
breast, and immediately commenced howling and swelling
to such an extraordinary size that it was thought necessary
to destroy it. The light then broko in upon them that
they had been bitten by an adder, and they were conveyed
to the hospital, where Perfitt and Lane still remain seri-
ously .Andrews has nearly recovered.
