NONE/ MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

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 ys:ry easy, and a few choice bills are taken
as low as 3,-1- per cent. It naturally follows that
the inquiris at the Bank of England are of a re-
strice 1 cliaractr.

Notice has been given that the A gra Bank (Li-
mited) will commence to-day at 35, Nicholas-lane,
L-mi bard - street.
The Cuba has arrived 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 Debentures
are firm at 54 56, and the Consolidated Mortgage
Bonds at 411 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'CLocr.

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 are made,
and these give solidity to values. It is known that
many undertakings aro 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 901 a for money and the 10th instant, and at
904 for the February settlement. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 89P. 90; Bank of Eng-
land Stock, 248 ; India 5 per Cents., 107*1 ; 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 -I, to 321, 33 ; Mexican, a, to 18,
Greek, a, to 144, ; and Spanish Passive, Ito 211 ;
the Certificates remain firm, at 14a; 4 ; and Italian
at 33+, f.

The New Russian Loan Scrip has advanced to
prem.

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
and Great Western 4.
The Foreign and Colonial lines chew little varia-
tion of importance. Great Luxembourg are marked
13 ; West Flanders 7j ; Great Western of Canada
12i 13 ; Grand Trunk of Canada 201 ; and East
ludian 106

Bank Shares arc at steady rates. Imperial Otto-
man have improved to Si 9 ; London and County
to 63 ; Chartered Mercantile of India, London,
and China to 33 334.
Miscellaneous and Finance Shares have been in
fair demand, and prices have tended upwards.
111“18on's Bay Company have improved to 16i ;
Egyptian Trading Company to 5 5 ; Crystal
Palace Stock to 30 31 ; National Discount Com-
pany are heavy at 141 I.
There is very little change in American securi-
ties. United States 5-20 Bonds have declined
to 721 73, while Erie Shares remain at 454 46; ;
and Illinois at 814 82k.
