MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A very good discount business has been nego-
tated to-day in the open market, but the brokers
have not yet shown any disposition to relax their
terms, 3i pee cent. being still charged for the best
Paper.

The weekly return issued by the Bank of England
thows that several important changes have taken
Plaice in the position of the establishment, but they
are, after ah, not so unfavourable as were expected.
'lhe following are the particulars :-

The return issued by the Bank of France shows
but few important alterations. The bullion has
beat increased £lO,OOO, and the notes in circula-
tion have been reduced £24,000. The bills dis-
Counted have been increased £368,000, the current
4ecounts £784,000, and the Treasury balance
£284,000. A decrease of £24,000 has been effected
It the advances.

The half-yearly general meeting of shareholders
of the Bank of Egypt was held to-day. The report
Presented stated that the net profits for the last
half-year amounted to £16,966, which enabled the
directors to declare a dividend of 10 per cent per
alum free of income tax, and carry forward to
the next account £4,466.
baring the last few days there has not been
much animation exhibited in the Markets for Fo-
reign and Colonial Produce. Sugars have been in
moderate request, at barely previous prices. For
coffee there has been a fair inquiry, at steady rates,
''Bile the operations in rice, fruit, and spices, have
been of too limited a character to affect values.
Tallow has remained very dull, at about previous
(Notations for both present and forward delivery.
The following resolution has been passed by the
conlmittee of the Stock Exchange, with reference to
the dividend and stock bonus on the shares of the
Illinois Central Railroad Company :—" All trans-
actions in Illinois Central Railroad Company shares,
after the current account, will be ex div. and stock
bonus. The dividend of $5 per share is to be settled
St 2s. 9d. per dollar, being 13s. 9d. per share. The
hock bonus of 10 per cent. may be delivered in old
„hares at once, or if not, the buyer may deduct at
the rate of £l7 per share for such portion as is not
elivered as a temporary:arrangement until a special
settling day shall be appointed by the committee.

All fractions must be settled at par, as proposed by
the company, at 2s. 9d. per dollar."

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 50. Better.

The English Stock Market has presented a more
active and buoyant appearance to-day. The Bank

money, and 90 1 for the account. The New Three
per Cents. and the Reduced Annuities are 891 e ;

The operations in the Railway Share Market

several instances, exhibit a further decline. North

10s. ; and Great Western, ss.

little variation ; East Indian, however, have declined
