NONEY MARKET

AND
aMIIERCIAL INTALLIGNNOR,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
With steady arrivals of bullion from Australia
and America, and silver from the East, the money
market is made easier, although there is now more
employment for the balances at command of the
bill-broking community. The rates for first-cla,s
bills ascend from the point of 2 per cent., and in
the Stock Exchange the terms for loans are about
2 per cent.

At the Bank of England there was a further
influx of £3*),000 in gold.
The return of the Bank of France for the past
week shows the following changes in comparison
with the former return. The cash in h incl. has
increased £76,800 ; the notes have decreased
£300,00p; the Treasury balance £260,000 ; the
bills discounted £410,000 ; the advances £333,320;
and the private account £160,000.
It is understood that the forthcoming half-yearly
report of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Corn-
deoY will not recommend the usual ad interim divi-
dend, the revenue of the company having been very
considerably affected by the almost total cessation
f°f specie shipments to the East, as well as by the
ng off in the general commercial traffic conse-
quent on the crisis of last year. While the receipts
has
experienced a diminution, the cost of working
"as been increased by the high rates of coal and
other necessaries.

N.O increase of business can be reported in the
market for the English Funds, but there are steady
transactions, and the tendency of speculative deal-
ing is for a further improvement. The improve-
inent that has already taken place has been consi-
derable, the public at large again perceiving
the merits of State securities rather than those
of companies, one year paying extraordinary
dividends, and the next nil. Such result is shown
in the last report and balance-sheets of many of the
4nancial companies and miscellaneous undertak-
ings of various kinds. Governmental Securities
are therefore sought for, and, notwithstanding the
444 fluctuations, favourable or unfavourable, the
general tendency of values is good ; whatever move-
nieut occurs in other departments of the house may
be, it is satisfactory to notice that our home secu-
rities are at higher prices than for a considerable
i.:11°1. But it must also be noticed that in the
relga railway and miscellaneus department the
inclination is to advance rathero c than recede at the

X ARKE TS.--This day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up, to-day, coastwise, and by land carriage, the
arrivals of English wheat were very limited, and in but
middling condition. Very few buyers were in attendance
yet the demand for both red and white qualities ruled
heavy, at quite Monday's decline in the quotations.
There was a full average quantity of foreign wheat on
the stands. Even the finest parcels were a dull inquiry at
late rates.

Floating cargoes changed hands slowly at about station-
ary prices.

Scarcely any barley was brought forward. The trade
therefore, was firm, at full quotations.

Malt was in moderate supply and sluggish request, on
rormer terms.
Oats supported Monday's quotatio:s, with a moderate
,nqniry.

Beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday.
Flour and seeds were very inactive.
