MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL ENTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the General Discount Market there has been
rather more inquiry foraccommodation, but the sup-
plies of money on offer continue abundant, and there
is no change to report in the rates demanded.

A withdrawal of £lB,OOO took place at the Bank
of England yesterday.

A call of £5 p-r share has been made by the
directors of the Lion Brewery Company upon the
6 per cent. Preference Shares, and upon the Ordi-
nary Shares of the company, payable on or before
the 24th April.
The Stock Exchange Committee have substituted
in the official list the llama of the United Discount
Corporation for that of the, Discount Corporation
(Limited). It is stated that 20,000 out of the
25,000 shares in the new company have been taken
by the shareholders in the old company.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have advanced 1, to 321 33i ; and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds are firm at 24} 25.
_ _

It has been announced that Sir Robert Walter
Carden and Mr. Charles Oppenheim have joined
the board of directors of the Metropolitan Bank ;
and that Mr. Bright Wool, the late manager of the
European Bank, will act as joint manager with Mr.
J. R. Glanville.

The committee of shareholders appointed to in-
vestigate the affairs of the Ebbw Vale Company
(Limited) have reported that there is au amount of
bad debts of £130,000, and £lOO,OOO locked up in
doubtful debts and shares not at present realisable.
They recommend that no dividend be made at the
next annual meeting, which is to take place on the
31st inst., and it is hoped that by largely increas-
ing the capital and more economical working a
profitable result may be attained.

Two o'CLoc K.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Renter opened
at 69f. 97c.

A further purchase of Government Securities,
representing £32,000, has been made to-day by the
Government broker in reduction of the National
Debt; this, with private investments for transfer,
has carried Consols per cent. higher, so that
within two days there has been an advance of fully
per cent. ; Consols being 91f t for money, and
911 for the account.

At a meeting held to-day of the Great Laxey
Mining Company, the chairman entered into a long
refutation of the charges brought against the direc-
tors, and convinced the proprietors of their untruth
in every particular. The usual dividend of 10s.
per share was then declared.

This being the first day of the settlement in
Foreign Stocks, little other business has engaged
attention. Mexican have advanced 4, to 17,1 18 ;
Greek, I, to 15i 16 ; but Italian are f lower, at
531 54 ; and Turkish 5 per Cents., 4, at 291
30 ; Spanish Passive remain at 214 224 ; the
Certificates at 144 4 ; Russian Scrip at 24 4 prem. ;
Chiliau Scrip at 24 2 dis. ; and Danubian Scrip at
14 1 dis.
In American Securities Eric Shares have declined
1 to 384 394 ; and United States 5-20 Bonds 4 to
731 74 ; while Illinois continue at 771 784.
Continued firmness has been apparent in the
Railway Share Market, the dealers and speculators,
however, are now chiefly occupied with the settle-
ment. Great Eastern have improved f ; Metropo-
litan and Midland each 4 ; and Great Northern A
Stock and North Eastern (Berwick) each 4 ; while
South Eastern have declined 4.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little Tani-
tion. Dutch Rhenish are marked 19 ; Grata( Trunk
of Canada, 194 ; Great Indian Peninsula, 1064
1061 ; and East Indian, 1074 1.
Bank Shares continue in very limited demand,
and barely support previous prices. Consolidlted
are marked 44 4 ; Alliance, 154 16; London and
County, 55 56 ; and Union of London 444.
Miscellaneous and Finance Shares are in mode-
rate request, and in most instances support previous
values, Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. being dealt
in at 531 ; Anglo-American Telegraph at 154 ;
Hudson's Bay Company at 154 16 ; National Dis-
count Company at 13, and Telegraph Construction
and Maintenance at 134 4.
