NONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE 0' CLO CK.

The Money Market is in a very active condition,
(Ming to the numerous bills held in reserve in an-
ticipation of the movement yesterday, and also to
preparations usually numerous at the end of the
week. The rates required by brokers and others
range from 5 per cent. ; and as this is only per
Cent. under the official minimum, a large number of
applications is made at the Bank of England.
At the Bank of England yesterday afternoon the
bullion operations were not of public interest.

The suspension of Messrs. Paget, Bainbridges,
and Co., bankers, 5, St. Paul's Churchyard, was
announced yesterday. The house was established
in 1790, and was always considered highly respect-
able, although of late years its business was known
to have considerably fallen off. The liabilities are
estimated at about £200,000, and the assets, it is
thought, will only realise a very small dividend.
Ile immediate causes which led to the failuure were
operations in slate quarries, and the stoppage of an
Irish house to whom advances had been made.
The Bank of England return is favourable, and
the strengthened condition of the establishment
fully justified the directors in reducing their rate of
discount. Annexed are the particulars :

The Bank of France return shows an increase of
£226,670 in the bullion, £72,000 in the notes in
circulation, and of £620,000 in the Treasury ac-
count, while a reduction has taken place of
£448,000 in the current accounts, of £B,OOO in the
bills discounted, and of £26,680 in the advances.

Two O'CLOCK.

According to Reuter's telegram the French
Three per Cent. Rentes wore quoted at 69f. ex
Coupon.

After official hours last evening sales of English
Government Stock occasioned a decline of per
Cent. No further alteration has taken place to-
day in the Funds, which appear to be tolerably
steady, and a few purchases will no doubt result in
an improvement, owing to the sensitiveness of the
Market. Consols are now 87 for money, and
87 f, for the account. The New Threes and Re-
duced Annuities are 85i- ; Exchequer Bills, 3s.
'Zs. ; and India 5 per Cents., 102} -Z.

No important alteration has occurred in the value
of Foreign Stocks. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 38/ ;

Irie Shares, 56k 574 ; and Illinois, 80i 81.

Business in the Railway Share Market has re-
Illained inactive, and in several instances prices are
a shade lower. Lancashire and Yorkshire, South
Western, Midland, and South Eastern have each
declined ss. ; and Metropolitan, 15s.
The yoreign and Colonial lines remain dull at
about former rates.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue very
quiet, without any material change in values.
Alliance are dealt in at 28i ; Joint Stock Dis-
count at 11 dis. ; and Overend, Gurney, and
