MONEY MARKET

A ND

CONMEROI L aTTF,LT,IGSNCR,

TWELVE o'CLock.

There is very little business in the discount
market to-day, the supplies of paper on offer being
too limited to absorb more than a small'proportion
of the available balances. The rates consequently
continue very easy, and a few choice bills are taken
as low as 3* per cent. It naturally follows that
the inquiries at the Bank of England aro of a re-
e 1 charact3r.

Nutice has been given that the Agra Bank (Li-
mited) will commence to-day at 35, Nicholas-lane,
Lombard-street.
The Cuba has airived from New York with
£78,000 in specie.

On Saturday there was an influx of £6,000 in bar
gold at the Bank of England, and a withdrawal of
10,000 sovereigns for Alexandria.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debenturea
are firm at 54 56, and the Consolidated Mortgage
Bonds at 44 42.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week have been of a rather gloomy
character. Very little business has been done in most
departments, owing to the late severe weather, and
the general indisposition shown by both shippers
and manufacturers to enter into fresh engagements
until the year is farther advanced. Cloths and
yarns at Manchester have been a shade cheaper ;
while at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield the
chief inquiry has been for spring goods; the deal-
ings, however, have only been to a limited extent.
More activity has prevailed in the lace and hosiery
departments of Nottingham and Leicester ; while at
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there
has been little change of importance in most of the
principal branches of manufactures carried on.

Two o'CLocg.

It cannot be said that much activity prevails in
the markets for stocks and shares, but a steady and
a healthful business is in progress. No attempt is
made to foist upon the public ephemeral schemes,
nor is there any extensive range of " bull'' or
" bear" operations. Steady investments aro made,
and these give solidity to values. It is known that
many undertakings are ready for introduction to
the public, but promoters and directors are
" biding their time," being fully aware of
the doubtful floating of Joint Stock enter-
prise after the extraordinary events that
occurred last year. Consols, in the forenoon,
were a little flatter, but they are now very strong
at 904 54 - for money and the 10th instant, and at
904 a for the 'ebruary settlement. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 891 90 ; Bank of Eng-
land Stock, 248 ; India 5 per Cents., 107 k 4 ; ditto
4 per Cent. Bonds, 255. to 30s. prem.
In the corn market to-day the attendance was
not very extensive, and business generally remained
very quiet without any material change in prices.
In the Foreign Department of the Stock Ex•
change there has been very little dealing, but prices
are slightly improved. Turkish 5 per Cents. have
advanced 1, to 321, 33 ; Mexican, j, to 18, 1
Greek, *, to 141,1 ; and Spanish Passive,* to 214;
the Certificates remain firm, at 14i, 4 ; and Italian
at 531, I.

The New Russian Loan Scrip has advanced I, to
11 I prem. -0-

In the Railway Share Market there is not much
animation. Great Eastern, London, Chatham, and
Dover, North Western, and Metropolitan have each
declined ; while South Eastern have improved I,
and Great Western
The Foreign and Colonial lines shew little varia-
tion of importance. Great Luxembourg are marked
13 ; West Flanders 7i ; Great Western of Canada
121 13 ; Grand Trunk of Canada 20i ; and East
Indian 1061 I.

Bank Shares are at steady rates. Imperial Otto-
man have improved to 81 9 ; London and County
to G 5 ; Chartered Mercantile of India, London,
and China to 33 334.
Miscellaneous and Finance Shares have been in
fair demand, and prices have tended upwards.
Hudson's Bay Company have improved to 164 s ;
Egyptian Trading Company to 5 5 * ; Crystal
Palace Stock to 30 31 ; National Discount Com-
pany are heavy at 14* I.
There is very little change in American securi-
ties. United States 5-20 Bonds have declined
* to 72i 73, while Erie Shares remain at 454 461 ;
and Illinois at 811 821.
