ONE! MARKET

COMMERMiL INTELLIGENCX,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The discount market for the week has closed very
quietly, the proceedings throughout the day having
developed no new features. The bullion market is
very quiet. The following are some of the latest
quotations :-Bar gold, 775. 9d. to 775. 91d. per oz.
standard ; bar gold, fine, 775. 9d. per oz. standard;
bar gold, refillable, 78s. per oz. standard ; Spanish
doubloons 745. 9d. per oz ; South American doub-
loons, 735. 9d. per oz. ; United States gold eGin,
765. 2id. per oz. (last prices). Bar silver, ss. 0/d.

gold, ss. 11d. per oz. standard; fine cake silver,
65. 5/d. to ss. 51d. per oz. ; Mexican
dollars, 48. 11/d. per oz. With regard to
gold it is reasonable to expect that we shall
have considerable supplies in the course of a few
Weeks. Besides what may come from America and
the West Indies, it may be interesting to the public
to know that the following Australian gold ships
are at sea :-The Giant's Causeway with 153,500 ;

Price with £12,000 ; and the Ballarat with £lO,OOO.
