TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Discount Market continues to show a little
animation, and the rates remain firm at 6! and 6i
per cent. There appears to be little or no prospect
of a change being made in the official minimum
to-morrow, and the brokers are therefore more
-willing to take long-dated bills at lower quotations
than short descriptions.
The sum of £15,000 in gold was sent into the
Bank yesterday.
In the City the question which is being eagerly
discussed among all classes is what will the directors
of the Joint-Stock Discount Company determine ?
Will they continue with their business or resolve
to wind up their estate, and, in Stock Exchange
Parlance, cut their loss ? From the large number of
shares thrown upon the market and saleable at ss.
and 10s. each, although £lO has been paid upon
them, it would appear that the opinion of holders
is for the latter course of proceeding.

Two O'CLOCK.

Although very little business has been negotiated
in the English Stock Market, there is nevertheless a
firmness in prices. The Funds have slightly reco-
vered, and are 863 1 for money, and 871 1 for the
account in April. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 85 I ; Exchequer Bills, 6s. to 3s. dis. ;
Bank of England Stock, 249 251'; India Stock,
208 2103- ; ditto 5 per Cents., 1021 ; and ditto
Debentures, 1001.
Sales have principally predominated in the
Foreign Stock Market. Turkish 5 per Cents. are
381; Mexican, 221 3 ; do. New, 203 3; Greek,
161 ; Spanish Passive, 271 1 ; the Certificates, 161
; Italian, 613 62 ; the Confederate Loan, 63 73 ;
Brazilian Scrip, 11 2 prem. ; Egyptian Railway
Scrip, 1 -1 prem. ; and the New Chilian Loan, 21
prem. United States Government 5-20 Bonds are
70-1 ; Erie Shares, 531 541 ; and Illinois, 771 783.
Business in the railway share market has re-
teamed dull, but prices in some instances have shown
more firmness. South-Eastern, Midland, South-
Western, Great Western, and Great Eastern, have
each advanced 55., and Metropolitan 10s.
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
1.8 little variation of importance. East Indian have
Improved 55., and Great Indian Peninsula 10s.
Lank and Miscellaneous Shares continue very
quiet at, in some instances rather lower quotations.
European are dealt in at 12* 8 ; Union of Aus-
tralia at 523 533 ; Union of London at 533 54 ;
Joint Stock Discount at 1 13; National Discount
Company at 131 4 ; and Overend, Gurney, and
