MONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The desire of bankers, merchants, and others to
have large balances at the end of the quarter when
the balances are struck very naturally creates a
strong demand for accommodation. Among the
numerous applicants for assistance at the Bank are
Several brokers, who are also in want of money.
The rate in the open market is therefore firm at
3 per cent.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank
yesterday.

The share list of the Steam Biscuit and Flour
Company will be closed on Monday next for Lou-
don, and on Tuesday for country applications.

The West London Docks and Warehouses Com-
pany have made a call of £2 per share payable at
the Bank of London on the 21st July.
The Metropolitan Ice Company (Limited) is to
be wound up, and the Master of the Rolls has ap-
pointed Mr. John Lovering, accountant, official
liquidator.

The Finance Committee of the Corporation of
the City of London have invited proposals for the
second issue of City Debenture Bonds of £200,000,
in sums of £l,OOO, £5OO, or £lOO each, for periods
of not less than eleven, or more than eighteen years,
bearing interest at the rate of 4f per cent. The
bonds are secured by the net produce of the City
duty of 4d. per ton on coals brought into London,
and also upon the general revenues of the Corpora-
tion.

Two o'CLocx.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
66f. 30c. Heavy.
• The English Stock Market has been firmly sup-
Ported to-day, and a rise of f per cent. has taken
Place. The purchase of £9,000 Reduced Annuities
by the Government broker has had a favourable
influence upon quotations. Consols for money are
898 90, and for the account 90. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 881 898 ; Exchequer
Bills, is. to 4s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1041 4 ;
Enlaced 4 per Cents., 908 ; and Bonds, 17s. prem.
Foreign Securities, which were very dull and
heavy at the opening, are now firmer. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1862, are 74 I ; do. Consolidds, 49 1 ;
Mexican, 258 ; do. New, 241 8 ; Greek, 20} 21 ;
Spanish Passive, 308 e ; do. Certificates, 141 15 ;
Italian, 651 66 ; and Confederate Loan, 6 8.

Business in the Railway Share Market has not
been very active, but in one or two instances prices
have shown rather more firmness. Lancashire and
Yorkshire and North-Western have each improved
ss. ; ;and Great Eastern, Metropolitan, and North
Eastern (Berwick) each ; Brighton, however,
have declined 15s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous shares remain in mode-
rate request at steady rates. Alliance are dealt in
at 29i 30 ; Hindustan, China, and Japan at 111 1 ;
ludson Bay Company at 151; and London Finan-

NOBLE TRADERS.—Some forty years ago the man
about town, one of the most brilliant of dandies,
and the idlest and poorest of well-born "fashionables,"
wedded the daughter of a man in a lucrative but not a dig-
nified business. Tho dandy addressed himself to master
its details, and for 80 years he has himself been at the head
of it. There are scores of scions of good stock whose re-
venues come from the counting-house, and who make no
secret of it. Others are a little ashamed of their position.
One of the oldest wholesale and retail firms in London is
carried on under names whose owners were gathered to
their fathers a century ago. The real proprietors are never
seen upon the premises, and the highly salaried manager
of the business is bound never to reveal their names or
whereabouts. By-and-bye they will know better and be
ashamed of their weakness.—Athermum.
