THE MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The Stock Markets have shown considerable firmness to-
day, particularly as regards Foreign Bonds, for which there
has been an active inquiry. The belief that money must
continue cheap for some time has inspired confidence among
speculators, while the cheapeLing tendency of the price of
wheat has further stimulated the upward movement. Con-
cols are now quoted at 944 to 944; Reduced and New Three
per Cents., 921 to 921 ; India Five per Cents., 113 k to
114; ; India B nds, 20s. to 2fis prem. ; Exchequer Bills,
par to ss. prem.

The Foreign Market has ruled firm throughout, and the
transactions have been unusually numerous. Egyptian of
1868 have advanced A, While Spanish and Turkish Stocks
show a similar improvement. Turkish Five per Cents. were
done at 50*. Annexed are the transactions as recorded in
to-day's official list: —Egyptian, 1868, 81A to 2 ; Spanish,
1867, 31} s ; ditto, 1869, MA 11; Turkish, 1858, 691 ;
ditto, 1862, 72i Ii; ditto, 1865, f,O 49i 501-, ; ditto, 1869,
63k 14.

American Government Securities have been in request at
steady prices. Five-Twenties are rather higher, at 891 to
,91; Ten-Forties at 851 to 86f; Erie Railway Shares are
quoted at 181 to 181 ; and Illinois Central at 112 to 113.
Home Railway Stocks have generally remained firm, but
no important movement hai taken place in the quotations.
Metropolitan Stock, however, is very flat, and has give❑
way a further 2 per cent., the last price being 721 to 731.
Transactions have taken place as low as 721, The sales to-
day have been as follows:—Bristol and Exeter, 82; Cale-
donian, 731; Great Eastern, 42f ; Groat Northern, 103 1;
Great Western Consolidated ordinary, 72 i ; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 1301 1 ; London, Brighton, and South Coast,
451 ; London and North Western, 1 81; London and
South Western, 91 ; Metropolitan, 73 21; Midland, 1271 a ;
North Eastern Consols, 137/ ; South Devon, 47 ; South
Eastern, 77.

Bank shares have been quiet, but the quotations have ruled
firm. Union of London have marked 139 i ; Imperial Otto-
man, 41 to 41 prem., and London and Westminster, 62i to
63i.

The market for Telegraph shares has been more animated,
and an advance has been noticed. British Indian Sub-
marine have risen or to 8i to 9, and. Falmouth, Gibraltar,
and Malta, 3-16, or to 8 15-16 to 9 1-16. Telegraph Construc-
tion shares have advanced the quotations being 34i to
85i.

The discount market has been moderately supplied with
capital. There has been a fair demand for accommodation in
most quarters, and three months' paper has not been. nego-
tiated under 3 per cent.

Melbourne advices, dated April 24, state that the Geelong
takes to Galle £440,000 in bar gold, and £61,500 sovereigns.
The Lady Jocelyn has left for England with £31,500, and
the True Britain with £ll,OOO.
