ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market continues very quiet, and the
rates show no alteration. Discounters are willing
to negotiate the best bills at 31 4 per cent., but the
supply on offer is extremely limited.
Since Saturday last the imports have amounted
to £362,419, and the exports to £60,344.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of £582 12s. 4d. on account of the dividends
on the debt of Ecuador.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67 72.
Flat.

The market for all descriptions of American
securities has been thrown into a state of excite-
ment by the news received this morning by the
Australasian from New York. Otherwise it is sup-
posed that the Stock Exchange would have pre-
sented an exceedingly quiescent appearance. Many
of the members, however, who had intended to have
remained away, hurried, to the City. As may be
imagined, the advance in the value of all Federal
Securities has been of an important character, while in
the .Confederate Bonds there has been an equally im-
portant movement in the other direction. Among
other topics discussed by speculators is the possibility
of a demonstration on the part of the United States
against Canada, and this has promoted the agitation
of prices by causing afall in the value of English and
Foreign stocks. United States Government 6 per
Cent. 5-20, in which there has been a large sale,
have risen 4, viz., to 611 / ex div. ; Illinois Central
shares, l to 63 64 ; and Erie shares, 24 to 36i 378.
Consols have declined I, viz., to 908 91 for money,
and to 918 for account. The New Threes are 898
the'Reduced 898 +, and India 5 per Cents., 1064
1071.

Foreign Securities have all been depressed.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 741 4 ; ditto Con-
solides, 54k ;.111exican, 27 k ; ditto New, 25i 26k ;

to 22 24
The Confederate Loan has fallen 7 per cent., viz.,

In the Railway Share Market there has been very
little business transacted to-day, and the few bar-
gams recorded show a slight decline in prices.
Great Northern A Stock have receded 55., Metro-
politan and North Eastern (Berwick), each 155.,
and North Western and Midland each £l. The
Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit no material
-change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have continued
very inactive ; prices, however, remain without any
alteration of importance. Anglo-Egyptian Naviga-
tion
Company Shares are quoted 2i 3 prem. ; South
African Land, 1 1i prem. ; Saloon Steam Packet,
1 prem. ; Moscow Gas Company, k 1 prem. ;
Russian (Vyksounsky) Iron Company, 2 2i- prem.

Liverpool Cotton Market —This Day.

Cotton Market dull. Nothing doing.

THE ROYAL SOCIETY'S INDEX.--The Tr
has authorised the expenditure of .£3,000 for
preasuryinting
the Royal Society's " Index to the Scientific Periodi-
cal Literature of the Nineteenth Century," which we
have already noticed (Reader, iv. 805). A first instalment
of £l,OOO is to be asked for this year, as we learn from the
recently-issued Civil Service Estimates.
CHELSEA BRIDGE.—In the year ending March 31,
1850119, as appears from a return just issued, the amount of
ts collected on Chelsea Bridge was 7,752 17s. ; and the
total expenses incurred were £792 Bs. 3d. Within the last
six years the tolls have diminished and the outgoings have
rapi
23WY increased, so that for the year ending March 31,
..64, the account stood thus : Tolls collected,
£3,681 16s.
ga• outgoings, £5,786 15s. 2d.
