COMMEY,c :AL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The cm:4.er condition of monetary affairs is creat-
big quite a satisfactory feeling in trading circles.
To-day fhe :rates out of doors have receded another
per cent., and although this lowest quotation, viz.,
5i per cent., is only accepted for the best short-
datea bankers' acceptances, still it nevertheless
18erves to point to the general tendency of values,
!lid there is, therefore, hope that before long a sub-
stantial concession will be made in the official
minimum. Everything now tends to inspire faith
in cheaper money. The exchanges are not very
unfavourable, and additional supplies of capital are
daily added to the floating balances of the market.
The demand for accommodation, too, is much less
now that we have passed over nearly a week in the
new year, and provision for the different engage-
ments falling due has doubtless been provided for.
The enquiry to-day has not been very active, and
the discount establishments have been cliarging
Z.U, and, in exceptional cases, 51 per cent.
The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised an influx of 56,0001. in gold, and a with-
drawal of 90,000 sovereigns for Alexandria.
The bar silver by the West India packet has been
sold at ss. lid. per oz. standard, showing a fall of
id. when compared `with the price realised for the
Previous supply, the demand for India being very
small.

The transfer books of the English and Foreign
Credit Company will be closed from the 16th to
the 31st inst., preparatory to the general meeting.

The first ordinary general meeting of the Warrant
Finance Company will be held at the London
Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on Tuesday, the 24th
inst. The transfer books will be closed from Tues-
day, the 6th, to Tuesday, the 24th.
The biddings for 30,00,000 rupees in bills on
India took place to-day at the Bank of England.
The proportions allotted were, to Calcutta, 17,33,000
rupees ;to Bombay, 12,00,000 rupees ; and to Ma-
dras, 67,000 rupees. The minimum price was as
before--ls. Hid. on Calcutta and Madras, and
ls. 114 d. on Bombay. The applications within the
limits amounted to 71 lacs. Tenders on Calcutta
and Madras at is. 110. will receive about 7 per
cent., and on Bombay at 25., about 76 per cent. ;
above these prices, in full.

Two o'CLoCE.

- At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes have been 67f. 20c.
Very firm.

The English Stock Market, to:day, has been very
favourably influenced in consequence of the notifi-
cation that the amount to be expended by the Go-
vernment for the past quarter in furtherance of the
reduction of the national debt will represent 646,892/.
The market, though not very active, is exceedingly
buoyant, and Consols are / per cent. better than
last night ; the quotations for money and account
being 898 90. The New Threes and Reduced An-
nuities are 88/ 89 ; Exchequer Bills, Is. to ss.
prem. ; and India 5 per Cents., 103*.
Firmness is also the principal feature in the
Foreign Stock Market, although as yet the altera-
tions are not important. Turkish Consolides are
Steady at 48i 49 ; Mexican ex all, at 28 ; the
New Stock is better at 24 a ; Greek Bonds are
also higher, being 23-a ; Spanish Passive remain
at 321 ; and the Certificates at 14f ; the Con-
federate Loan has risen to 54 56 ; Egyptian Scrip
continues at 1 I prem. ; Danubian at 21 I- prem. ;
but Montevidean is weaker at 2/ 4 prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market has
regained rather dull, and with one or two excep-
tions prices have shown little change of importance.
Great Northern have improved £1 10s., and Great
Eastern ss. ; while North Western have declined
10s., and North Eastern (Berwick) 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show no material
variation.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in-
active, but in some instances are a shade firmer.
Alliance realise 33 ; London and County, 83i ;
Hudson Bay Company, 161; and National Discount
Company, 161.
