MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The holiday season now being in full force, busi-
ness in the City may be said to be in a state of stag-
nation. Little of importance is passing in the Dis-
count Market, at the Stock Exchange, in Mincing-
lane, or at the public sales of colonial wool.

Gold to the amount of £16,000 was taken to the
Bank of England yesterday.

Ihe public sales of colonial wool have been well
attended during the last few days, and forcigu
dealers have operated more freely, the rates
realised being equal to those established at the
commencement of the series.

Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days has continued in-
active. Few dealings of importance have taken
place in sugar, and in some instances prices are a
shade flatter. The public sales of China tea have
progressed with some animation, and prices gener-
ally have been well maintained. Superior qualities
of Colonial Coffee have been in fair request at full
rates; while in rice, fruit, and spices there has
been no material change. Tallow has remained
at steady rates for both present and forward deli-
very.

The return from the Bank of England for the
week ending the 21st August gives the following re-
sults when compared with the previous week :
Rest ... ... ... .£3' 399 934 ... Decrease £4,107
Public deposits ... 6526,514 ... Increase 1,018,476
Other deposits ... 19,468,415 ... Decrease 479,008
..._

On the other side of the account :
Government securities £12,812,373 No change.
Other securities ... 17,052,659 Increase 328,810
Notes unemployed ... 13,426,420 Increase 251,880
The amount of notes in circulation is £23,931,890,
being a decrease of £181,380 ; and the stock of
bullion in both departments is £23,532,661, showing
an increase of £41,148 when compared with the
preceding return. As the sum of £85,000 from
abrDad was sent in during the week, it thus ap-
pears that there has been an increased demand for
coin for internal circulation, consequent, doubtless,
on the harvest operations.
Subjoined is a comparison of the present position
of the Bank of England and the price of Consols
With the corresponding week of last year :

The return [of the Bank of France for the past
week gives the following alterations when com-
pared with the previous accounts :—The cash has
increased £752,000; the current accounts £680,000 ;
and the Treasury balance, £22,000. A decrease
has taken place in the bills discounted of £246,000,
in the notes of £360,000, and in the advances of
£13,520.

Two o'CLocK.

According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-
day, the French Rentes were 69f. 60c. Inanimate.
Speculation in the Stock Exchange to-day has
been very much curtailed, and it is almost impos-
sible to conceive a greater degree of quietude
than that now prevailing. Amidst so much in-
activity it is surprising to witness so much firm-
ness in the quotations, even for those classes of
Property which for months past have been so un-
Popular. Consols for money improved 1, to 941 1 ;
and for the account are 94/ 4.
The New Threes are marked 944 1 ; and the Re-
duced Annuities, 944 1; Exchequer Bills have
improved to 30s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., to
1131 1134 ; do. 4 per Cent. Enfaced Paper are
Marked 871; do. 5 per Cent., 1081; and do. 5 per
Cent. Debentures, 1051.
There is no special feature to-day in the market
for Foreign Stocks. Some of the latest quotations
are as follows :—ltalian 5 per Cents., 481 1 ; Spanish
Passive, 201 ; Turkish 5 per Cents., 314 1, being
a decline of 4 on the two former, and an advance of
on the latter.
The following business has been entered into ;
Egyptian 7 per cents., 87 ; ditto, 1864, 841 ; ditto
.r.,-100 Bonds, 86/ 87 ; ditto Govetnment Railway
Debentures, 841 ; Peruvian 5 per cents., 1865,
651; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 391 1 ; Russian 5
Per Cents., 1862, 861 1 ; ditto, 1864, 881 ; ditto
Anglo-Dutch, 871 ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 72 ;
and Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, 81 82.
American Securities are without change of im-
portance. United States 5-20 Bonds have advanced
to 73i 74 ; Illinois shares remain at 794 78 ;
and Erie shares at 44 45.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben-
tures remain steady, at 23 25 ; but the Consoli-
dated Mortgage Bonds have declined f, to 24 24.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
very inactive. Great Eastern have receded *,
ketropolitan I, and North-Western and North-
Eastern (Berwick) each it ; while London, Chat-
ham, and Dover have improved -I, and Great
Western
The Foreign and Colonial Lines remain inactive
at about previous rates.
Bank Shares are very dull. Imperial Ottoman
have declined to 8i ; London and County, to 55 ;
London and Westminster, to 73 ; and Union of
London, to 39 39/.
Miscellaneous and Finance Shares show little
variation in values, and the dealings have been on
the most limited scale ; International Financial
have declined to 2 15-16 ; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per
Cents., to 70 ; while Berlin Water Works have im-
proved to 131.
