'ONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENGE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
Some withdrawals of money from the discount
Market, for payment of the dividend due in a few
days on India bonds, have slightly diminished the
supplies of capital at the disposal of bankers and
brokers. No alteration, however, has been made
in the rates for accommodation, although the de-
mand has 'continued rather active. The best bills
are negotiable at 4i per cent., and exceptional
transactions are reported at 41 per cent., thus
showing that the expectation that money will
become easier is still entertained.
A portion of the fine silver brought by the West
India packet Tasmanian has been sold at ss.
Per ounce, showing a decline of id.
About £BO,OOO in bar gold was sent into the
Bank of England yesterday.
During the last few days there has been very
little animation exhibited in the markets for foreign
and colonial produce. Sugars, however, have been
dealt in, to a fair extent, at about previous rates.
For superior descriptions of coffee. there has been a
good inquiry, and fully late rates have been readily
Obtained. Rice has been in moderate request,
While in fruit, spices, and saltpetre scarcely any
business has been reported. In the tallow market
, the operations for both present and forward
delivery have been to a fair extent at steady rates.

telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Renter were 67f.

The English Stock Market has presented a much
firmer appearance to-day, although there have been
no movements of importance. The operation of
the Government broker, who has been a purchaser
of £16,000 New Three per Cents., has slightly in-
fluenced prices. Consols for money remain at 8914,
and for the account 8911. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 871 4; Exchequer Bills, 3s.
to 6s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1041; Enfaced
do., 1001 ; and the Bonds, 15s. prem.

Confederate Loan has advanced about 1 8 per cent.
to 34 36. Turkish Consolides remain at 524 53 ;
Mexican ex all are 2681; and the New Loan is
2544; the last being a little flatter. Greek Bonds
are 214 ; Spanish Passive continues at 334 1; but
the Certificates have improved *to 171 4. Italian
5 per Cents. have declined 8 to 63 1 4 ; but the
Scrip of the New Loan is 4 better at 31 3 dis.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active, and in some instances prices have
Shown more firmness. Great Western have im-
Proved 55., Brighton 55., North Western, 55., and
Metropolitan £1 ss. Midland, however, have de-
clined 155., and North Eastern (Berwick) ss.
