MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

Two o'CLocK,

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
69f. 32c.

Early in the day the Funds were a little flatter,
but since the tone of business has improved, and all
the markets have closed with a very satisfactory
appearance. Consols have left off at the prices
current yesterday afternoon, viz., at 894 j for
money, and at 90 for the account. A little
business is recorded in the Reduced Annuities, but
the New Three per Cents. are quite nominal in
the absence of dealings. Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis.
to 2s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cent. Enfaced De-
bentures, 994 100.
In the Foreign Market the changes in prices
since yesterday afternoon are of very little impor-
tance. Mexican, however, are flatter at 241 ;
and the New, 2311. In Greek there has been no
alteration ; Italian closed dull at 25 4 ; and the
Confederate Loan has not experienced any altera-
tion.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been to a fair extent, but prices in a few instances
have shown less firmness. Great Western have
declined i ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, South Wes-
tern, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, each
; and Metropolitan, 1 ; while Midland and South
Eastern have each improved 4, and Great
Eastern
The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
Without any material change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been dealt
in to a fair extent at steady rates. London Joint-
Stock have improved to 50 ; Union of Australia,
to 55i 56 ; and Scottish Australian Investment, to
126.

The following are the current quotations of some
of the principal new undertakings :—The New Issue
of 50,000 Preference Shares of £5 each of the
Atlantic Telegraph, 2* 21 per share ; Transatlantic
Steam Ship Company's Shares, 22i prem. ; Over-
end, Gurney, and Company, 3f 31 prem.

Perpool Cotton Market—This Day.

1()NY. Sales, probably 7,000 or 8,000

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A firmer tone is perceptible to-day in discount
circles, an increase having taken place in the num-
ber of inquiries at the Bank of England as well as
in other quarters. Those, however, who require
accommodation can still obtain it on the best bills
of three months' date at a fraction under the official
minimum. On the continent discounts are in most
instances slightly easier than in this country, 3 per
cent. being at present the lowest charge in Paris,
Hamburg, Frankfort,• and Amsterdam ; and 31 per
cent. in Brussels and Berlin.
Though a moderate businesslis in course of nego-
tiation in the Money Market and at the Stock Ex-
change, the attendance in the City to-day is com-
paratively small, owing to the brilliancy of the
weather, and the desire usually manifested at this
Period of the year to take recreation.

Subjoined is Messrs. Layton and Co.'s tea circu-
lar :—There has been no amount of business during
the past fortnight to influence the value of this
article in any special degree; trade has continued in
a fairly satisfactory state, and buyers generally, have
been disposed to operate, although not on a large
scale, at fully previous quotations. Since the 26th
nit. numerous transactions have taken place in the
shipping kinds of black tea, and prices for common
black and red leaf Congou have slightly
improved ; with this exception, the market
has undergone no particular change ; home
dealers buying somewhat sparingly of the better
classes, which remain much as last advised. Soa-
chongs, flowery Pekoes, and Oolongs are heavy of
sale, but there has been a good demaad for the finer
descriptions of uncoloured Japan at higher prices,
for shipment to Anierica. Good and fine scented
teas are now scarce. The trade have taken off true
Moyune gunpowders and young hysons at full
prices ; other kinds of green continue quiet at the
reduction lately established. Public sale of 27,879
packages were commenced on the sth inst., 20,529
being offered without reserve ; these auctions
opened flatly, but proceeded with fair spirit, the
prices realised showing no material alteration
from those previously current by private con-.
tract ; ordinary dusty siftings sold at Bd. to
Bd., and good common black leaf congou
Ofd. to is. Old. per lb. ; about 3,000 boxes of
common Canton Green Tea, " with all faults,"
brought from Bd. to 91d. per lb., and several parcels
of very low quality of indirect import under the
valuations. The latest dates from China are—
Foochow 12th July, Shanghai 15th, Canton 20th,
Hong Kong 212 d. The stock in the United King-
dom on the Ist instant amounted to about
85,831,000 lbs. against 88,527,000 last year at the
corresponding period. The arthals to this port
since the 125th are-28th " Antipodes," and 29th
" Vanguard," from Shanghai.
