tality was 27 per 1,000 persons living.
In London the births of 1,158 boys and 1,162

The deaths are less by 50 than the estimated number'
The mortality in London last week exhibits a coo"
siderable decrease in comparison with the numbers
of deaths in the two preceding weeks, when 1,731

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The report in the general discount market, so
far as the last few days are concerned, might have
been almost stereotyped. The inquiries are mode-
rate, and the rates in general discount circles range
from 2i upwards, according to the class of paper
offered for negotiation.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England yesterday.
Gold to the amount of £106,000 has arrived from
Australia by the Echunga, and £32,000 by the
Pride of the Ocean. The City of Washington, from
New York, has brotight about £3,000 in specie.
Advices received from Paris respecting the large
finance institutions state that the last balance-
sheet' of the Credit Mobilier shows very heavy losses,
to which a further loss this month of between two
and three millions has to be added. It is the
amalgamation of the new shares with the old which
presses so heavily on the prices. The new share-
holders have doubled the capital, and do not receive
any profit realised before the Ist January, 1867,
and at the same time decline to have any share of
theloss of the eight millions, as shown on the balance-
sheet to the 31st December, 1866. The shares
have again declined last week 50f., from
456 to 406 ; and the Immobilier in • the
same time receded from 300 to 215, showing a fall
of 180 f. in one month. The Credit Foncier shares
fell last week from 1,467.50 to 1,380, and are still
considered too high. In the portfolios of the insti-
tution there is the signature of M. de Hausman to
the amount of 202,000,000 f.
The seventh ordinary general meeting of the
Standard Bank of British South Africa (Limited)
will be held at the new offices of the company, 10,
Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, on Friday, the
26th April.
With respect to the tea market, Messrs. Layton
and Co., in their fortnightly circular, state as
follows :—There is no improvement whatever in the
condition of the tea market ; indeed during the
past fortnight, where importers have pressed sales,
prices have in nearly every instance favoured the
buyers, the dulness and depression previously re-
ported continuing to the close. By private con-
tract the dealers have only been induced to operate,
as before, for immediate requirements, while
at public auction, although the quantity brought
forward " without reserve" has been very
moderate, great heaviness prevailed, and lower
quotations were current for all descriptions of
Congou, the decline (fully ld. per lb.) being most
marked in fair black-leaf of new import, medium
red-leaf kinds realising comparatively steady rates.
There has been a good inquiry :for common Congou
for export, and some disposition to buy for specu-
lative account at lid. to 11A-d. per lb. ; with this
exception, the market has remained generally in-
active, and where sales of any extent have taken
place it has been at the above reduction. The
estimated stock of tea in the United Kingdom on
the Ist inst. amounted to 93,853,000 lbs., against
105,516,000 lbs. last year at the corresponding
period.

The rice market for the past month has shown
a renewed demand for soft grained rice for cleaning
purposes, and the stocks steadily decreasing the
millers operated freely, securing all available parcels,
and producing a further advance of 3d. to 6d. per
t. At this period the early cargoes of new rice
were also in request, and considerable sales were
effected at late rates to a slight advance, the expec-
tation of their arriving upon a bare market, and
comparative cheapness—being about 9d. to ls. per
cwt. under spot value—proving the chief induce-
ment to buyers.

Two O'CLOCK.
The British Funds are still much depressed, a
further decline of 4 per cent. having occurred to-
day. The market is quiet in the absence of active
speculation, and a limited number of bona fide in-
vestments, the Foreign is at present the favourite
resort of time operators. Cousols are now 004
for money, and 901 I for the account. The New
Threes are 884. ; Reduced Annuities, 884
Indi ;
Annuities, 1885, 12/ ; Exchequer Bills, 20s. prem. ;
a 5 per Cents., 1094 1; ditto Enfaced 4 per
Cents., 85 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 1031 ; and ditto
Bonds, 495. prem.
The outgoing mail will take £50,000 in silver for
thou
the East, and a demand for the Continent it is
ght will shortly arise in consequence of the ap-
prehensions of war, buyers from thence were in the
market yesterday ; the present price of that metal
is 60/ per oz.
In the Foreign Market there have been slight in-
dications of improvement. Spanish Passive have
declined 4, to 194 4 ; Certificates 4, to 114 12 ;
Turkish 5 per Cents. 1, 274 ; Russian Scrip 1, to
1 dis, to par; and Italian Ito 481 ; but reek
have advancedlf, to 13 14 ;, and Chilian ScriGp 1,
to 5 3 dis. ; Mexican remain firm, at 144 15 ; and
the Danubian Scrip at 6 4 dis.
A very moderate amount of business has been
transacted in the Railway Share Market, but in a
few instances prices show more firmness. Great
Western have advanced 4 ; North Western, 1 ;
and Great Northern, 1 ; while Brighton have de-
clined 3 ; Metropolitan, 1 ; and South Eastern,
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little varia-
tion, Great Luxembourg being dealt in at 84 9/ ;
Bahia and San Francisco, at 144 ; South Austrian
and Lombardo-Venetian, at 15 ; Grand Trunk of
Canada, at 171 18 ; and Bombay and Baroda, at
101 1011.
American Securities show great weakness, though
Erie Shares are 1 better, 36/ 374 ; and Illinois 4,
to 761 771 ; but United States 5-20 Bonds have
declined 1, to 734 4, with a tendency downwards.
Atlantic and have Great Western Railway Debentures
declined 1, to 29 31, and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds 4, to 21 21/.
Bank shares remain very quiet. Alliance have
declined to 141 ; Chartered of India, London, and
China, improved to 30'1 ; London and County, to
56 07 ; and Union of Australia, to 464 47.
Miscellaneous and Finance Shares continue in-
active at barely previous rates. Anglo-American
per
Telegraph are marked 17 4 ; Atlantic Telegraph 8
cents., 77/ 80 ; National Discount Company,
111 ; Royal Mail Steam, 93 94 ; nd Telegraph a
Construction and Maintenance, 124.
