MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The money market presents a firmer aspect,
although no important alteration is perceptible.
The unfavourable condition of the weather gives
rise to prognostications of a not large harvest, and
capitalists are not disposed to enter into extensive

engagements. The rate in the open market for the
negotiation of the best paper ranges from 3i per
cent.

The following is the answer received to a memo-
rial addressed by the committee of the Greek bond-
holders to the Chambers at Athens. The document
sets forth the claims of the foreign creditors of
Greece :

"Athens, August 10.
"Dear Sir,—l have to inform ynu that on Monday, tho
7th inst., I presented the memorial of the committee of
the Greek bondholders to the President of the Assembly,
accompanying it with a Greek translation, and with a few
lines from myself.

"The President, Mr. Kerhayus, read it before the
Chambers. After th• memorial was read the Assembly
resolved that it should be submitted to the committee on
memorials for their consideration.—l remain, sir,

" L. MERCATI.

"To Mr. Haslewood, chairman."

It is announced that the list of the Anglo-Greek
Steam Navigation and Trading Company is being
kept open for the return of the post next week from
Athens, Smyrna, and Constantinople.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
68f. 10c. Heavy.
The English Stock Market has been very ad-
versely affected to-day, owing chiefly to the un-
settled state of the weather, which, it is thought,
must eventually influence the value of money.
Consols have fallen I per cent., the quotations
being 89-I for money, and 894 4 for the
account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities
are 894 4 ; India 5 per Cents., 105 4; do. 5 per
Cents. 101.
In the Foreign Stock Market a general decline
has taken place. Turkish Consolides are 484 49 ;
Mexican:. 23f 4 ; the New Loan, 224 4 ; Greek,
204 ; Spanish Passive, 294 4; Certificates, 1441 ;
Italian, 634 64 ; and the Confederate Loan, 6 8.
American Securities, however, show very little
change. United States Government 5-20 Bonds
are 69 4 ; Erie Shares, 53 ; Illinois, 784 79.
In the Railway Share Market a heavy tone has
prevailed, and most of the principal lines show a
further decline as regards prices. Brighton and
South Eastern have each receded 15s. ; Great
Northern A Stock and Metropolitan each 10s.; and
Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and
North Western each ss.

In the Foreign and Colonial lines there is hardly
any inquiry, and prices remain unaltered.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue dull.
London and County are marked 74+ 4 ; London
Joint-Stock, at 471 ; Affiance Bank, 29 + ; Joint
Stock Discount, 81. ; Royal Mail Steam, 119 ; and
Overend, Gurney, and Co., 10i k. Atlantic Tele-
graph Preference, 2 -1 per share.
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 Atlan-
tic Telegraph, 2 2f per share ; Northern Assam
Tea Company's Shares, par f prem. ; Chubwa

By advicts from Hamburg,* the price of gold is 428 per mark
sod the short exchange on London is 13.71 per £1 sttrlin .

3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in hamburg.
