MONEY MARKET

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market presents symptoms of an
easier tendency, and there is more disposition shown
by brokers to take first class bills at per cent.
below the official minimum. The demand is also
less active than it has been for some short time.

The sum of £31,000 was withdrawn from the
bullion department of the Bank of England yester-
day afternoon.

The reserves of notes and gold of the Bank of
England have not been largely diminished during
the week, and considering the different usual opera-
tions in progress at this period of the year, the re-
turn, of which the following are the principal items,
may be considered favourable :

The alterations shown in the Bank of France
return arc generally encouraging. The bullion has
been increased £54,667, while the notes in circula-
tion have fallen off £66,000. The bills discounted
have been reduced £90,000, but the advances on
stock have received an addition of £24,000. The
current accounts have been augmented £300,000,
and the Treasury balances lessened £lBB,OOO.

According to Rester's telegram the S per Cent.
French Rentes were quoted at 68f. 37c. Heavy.
The English Stock Market shows an improve-
ment of per cent., Consols having risen to 871
for money, and to 871 4. for the account. This
advance is partly due to the better and easier state
of monetary affairs, as business is exceedingly inac-
tive. The- New Threes and Reduced Annuities
were 87 4. ; Exchequer Bills, 6s. to 2s. die. ; India 5
per Cents., 1021 1; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents.,
102 ; and ditto Bonds, 19s. prem. _ _

American Securities show few changes of import-
ance. United States Government 5-20 Bonds are
661 ; Erie Shares, 581 k ; and Illinois, 82 I.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active, and prices, in most instances,
are firmer. Great Eastern, Great Northern,
London, Chatham, and Dover, North Western,
and Midland have each improved 10s. ; Lancashire
and Yorkshire, and South Eastern, each ss. ; and
Caledonian, £1 10s. _
