MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

cirY, Two o'CLooK.
To-day there was an increased firmness on the
Stock Exchange, and prices are generally better.
Consols have gone up, and the same favourable
turn has extended itself to the Foreign market. In
Railways the prices are not quite so buoyant, but
still on the whole an improved tone has to be re-
ported.
Consols are now at 93S- to 93f for money ;

ditto, for Account, 93i ; - Three per Cent. Re-

duced, 92 11; New Tiaree per Cents, 92 11 21 ;

4 per Cent., —.

The sum of £64,000 in bar gold was taken to
the Bank yesterday, and £3,000 in sovereigns was
Withdrawn.
The Ceylon, from Alexandria, has brought only
£2,035.
With regard to the new Turkish Loan, it is
stated that the contractors are not the Comptoir
d'Escompte, but a combination of bankers for
Whom that company have acted as agents. The
issue of the prospectus will probably be delayed
for two or three weeks, and the payments, it is un-
derstood, will be spread over a considerable time.
Advices from Copenhagen state that after consi-
derable competition a concession has been granted
by the Russian Government to Mr. Tietgen and
others, through whose energy the Great Northern
Cables were laid in the North Sea and Baltic, to
lay cables from Posietta Bay, on the south-east
coast of Siberia, to China and Japan. A company
is in course of formation to carry this out imme-
diately, and the Russian Government will, it is
said, give every assistance to connect their land
lines with the company's cable, which is proposed
to be carried to Shanghai, touching at Nagasaki or
Osaka, and then on to Hongkong, touching at
I\"ingpo, Foochow, Amoy,, and Swatow.
The Manchester Courier states that at a meeting
of the creditors of Messrs. Leonard Clayton and
Sons, spinners and manufacturers, Bury, the ba-
lance•sheet showed liabilities to the amount of
£lB,OOO, and assets to the extent of about 10s. 4d.
in the pound. An offer was made by the firm of
75. 6d., but this was not accepted. It was, how-
ever, agreed to accept 10s., with the alternative of
Winding up the concern under a deed of assignment.
The Manchester Examiner announces the tempo-
rary suspension of the firm of Kendal, Riddel, and
Co., Scotch warehousemen, Manchester, pending an
examination into their affairs by Messrs. Sale, Ship-
Man, and Co., solicitors, and Broome, Murray, and
Co., accountants.
Misconception appears to prevail with respect to
the intended Exposition at St. Petersburg in 1870.
Many inquiries are made by English firms and
others as to the goods that will be received, but the
Exhibition is to be exclusively national, and for
Russian produce only.
In the colonial produce market this week busi-
ness has been influenced by the quietude which
usually prevails toward the close of the year, but
prices have on the whole been maintained. The
supplies of coffee have again been rather limited,
the chief part comprising common qualities, which
now meet with some inquiry, and the small propor-
tion of colory and bold brought forward has ob-
tained relatively high rates. Native Ceylon remains
dull. The sugar market is inactive, and the low
descriptions, which are the most depressed, have
been sold at some decline. Of tea there have been
large arrivals, and the market is quiet.
