MONEY XA.RKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCZ,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

No further alteration has been made this morn-
ing in the minimum rate of discount at the Bank of
England, which therefore continues at 4i per cent.
In some quarters a change was anticipated in con-
seqqence of the large abatement which has taken
place in the demand for money, and the continued
increase in the reserve of gold ; but however en-
hanced may be the position of the establish-
ment, it must be remembered that the autho-
rities have to provide for the payment of
the Government and their own dividends
next week, and prudence therefore dictates
a delay in the movement which shall confer further
discourt facilities upon the commercial classes,
especially as the rate is now very moderate. The
inquiry to-day is not active, and first-class bills
are negotiable as low as 4f and 41 per cent.
A further influx of £47,000 took place at the
Bank yesterday, of which £20,000 was in sovereigns
from Buenos Ayres.
The biddings for £325,000 in bills on India took
place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro-
portions allotted were—to Calcutta, £203,000 ;to
Madras, £2,000; and to Bombay, £91,500. The
minimum price was fixed at ls. 104 d. on all three
Presidencies, being an advance of 1 per cent. as re-
gards Calcutta and Madras. Tenders on Calcutta
and Madras, at Is. 111 d., will receive about 43 per
cent., and on Bombay, at Is. llkd., in full ; above
these rates, in full.
The following resolution of the committee has
been posted in the Stock Exchange :—" That, on
and after the 6th inst., Imperial Ottoman 5 per
Cent. Bonds be delivered ' ex coupon ;' and that in
settlement of the account the coupon be taken at
£2 1 Os. net.

Two O'CLOCK.

Ate Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's
telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at
69f. 10c.—Flat.

The English Stock Market has been very inactive,
and prices for the Funds, in sympathy with the de-
clining movement in other securities, have slightly
receded. The prospect of affairs, however, are not
discouraging, despite an anticipated deficiency in
the harvest. Consols are 89! * for money and
the 9th inst., and 89! for November. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 87* 4 ; Annui-
ties, 1885, 12 15-16 ; India 5 per Cents., 104! 105 ;
and ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., 100.
A lower tendency has prevailed for Foreign Stocks.
Mexican have declined /, to 16* ; Spanish Passive,
to 22i ; Turkish 5 per Cents., I to 30k 31; and
Italian, * to 56 ; Greek Bonds remain at 14k 15* ;
and Spanish Certificates, 14f 15 ; United States 5-20
Bonds are 701 ; Erie shares, 50 f ; and Illinois,
77*

Atlantic and Great Western Debentures are
at 65 66 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds
45k, 46k.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active, but prices, generally, have ruled
a shade lower. South Eastern, Lancashire and
Yorkshire, Great Western, and Great Eastern have
each declined 55., and Great Northern £l, while
Metropolitan have improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are very dull, at
about previous quotations.
In Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been
little change of importance. Alliance are dealt in
at 20 ; Consolidated at 5 1; London and West-
minster, at 911 92 ; and London Chartered of Aus-
tralia have declined to 221 ; Anglo-American Tele-
graph remain steady at 161 ; Atlantic Telegraph
8 per Cents, paid up 110 1121 ; Credit yonder of
England 4 1 ; London Financial at 91 ; and Tele-
