M -6714 Ei MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A moderate amount of business is represented in
the discount market to-day, and the quotations for
accommodation on bills as well as on Government
securities are without any change of importance. A
considerable falling off, if not an absolute suspen-
sion, of gold imports from the United States is ex-
pected. America having been blessed with an
abundant, or, as many expect, an unprecedented
harvest, will be able to discharge her periodical
indebtedness to her English creditors by produce
instead of remitting specie, for it must be borne in
mind that the interest due to the holders of Trans-
Atlantic stocks throughout Europe represents an
extraordinary heavy sum.
The sum of £16,000 in gold was taken to the
Bank yesterday.
The Sesostris has arrived from Alexandria with
£30,000 iu sovereigns.
To-morrow (Thursday) a call of £1 10s. will be-
come due on the shares of the London Financial
Company ; and a call of £2, total not specified,
will be payable on the shares of the Telegraph
Construction, &c. (Limited).
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben-
tures remain steady, at 24 25 ; and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds, at 21 22.
In the Bullion Market bar silver has been dull,
and Mexican dollars have receded in value. Larger
arrivals of the latter are expected at an early date.
Among the arrivals shortly expected are the follow-
ing ships, viz., the True Briton with £174,600, the
Reigate with £97,056, the llighflyer with £128,594,
the Devana with £85,786, the Norfolk with
£218,612, and the Maid of Judah, from Sydney,
with £61,868, making in the aggregate £765,726.
The report of the Credit Foncier of England just
issued states that, in reviewing the operations of the
past half year, the directors are of opinion that
notwithstanding the financial depression during that
Period a slow but gradual improvement has taken
Place in the general position of the company. The
shareholders will be prepared to hear that the efforts
of the directors have been mainly applied to the
development of the several undertakings in which
the company is interested, and they have
Bought rather to concentrate their resources
than to enter into new transactions. After detailing
the component parts of the assets, the report further
states that there is a balance at the credit of profit
and loss account for the past six months of £62,000.
Out of this sum it is proposed to recommend the
appropriation of £30,000 to a payment of 3s. per
share, free of income-tax, and to carry forward the
balance of £32,000.

Two o'C LOCK.

According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-
day, the French Itentes were 60f. 75,3. Very
firm.

There is a little less buoyancy in the market for
the English Funds, but the tone of affairs is unex-
ceptionally good. It is unnecessary to say more
than that there is no feature of a discouraging
character calculated to occasion any material depre-
ciation. Consols are 94j for money, and 94j 95
for the account.

The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 941
95 944 ; Exchequer Bills, 28s. prem. for June;
Bank of England Stock, 262 ; India do., 222 ; do.
5 per Cents., 1131 13 f ; do. Enfaced 4 per Cents.,
871 7 ; do. 5 per Cent. Rupee Debentures, 1021;
and do. 1877, 1021.
An upward tendency still prevails in the Foreign
department of the Stock Exchange. Mexican have
advanced 1, to 141 ; Turkish 5 per Cents. 1, to
32 1 ; but Italian have declined 1, to 49 1 ; Pawive
and Certificates 1, to 2111, and 161 j respectively ;
and Chilian 1, to 2 1 did. ; Greek remain at 131
14 ; and Russian Scrip, 86 87.

The dealings iu the Railway Share Market have
been numerous, but chiefly connected with the
settlement ; prices, however, have in most instances
shown increased buoyancy. Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincoln have improved ; London, Chatham,
and Dover, ; Great Eastern and North Western
each„ ; and Great Northern A. Stock, Metropolitan,
Midland, and South-Eastern, each 1; while Brighton
have declined 4.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are generally a
shade firmer. Great Luxembourg are dealt in at
TIN 11 ; Grand Trunk of Canada at 181; Great
Indian Peninsula at 1081 109 ; and Madras 5 per
Cents. at 1024.
American Securities remain at about previous
values, with the exception of Erie shares, which
advanced 4, to 46 47 ; United States 5-20 Bonds
are quoted 734 744 ; and Illinois shares, 774 78.
For Bank Shares there is scarcely any demand.
London Joint Stock have declined to 374 ; New
South Wales, to 434 4 ; and Union of London, to
391 3

Miscellaneous and Finance Shares arc very quiet,
and, exhibit no material change in values, Berlin
