ONEY MARKET

A ND

COMMERCIAL TvTELT,MENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market continues very inactive, few
Commercial bills being on offer. The rates still
tend downward, and from 5 to 5i per cent. are the
general quotations for first-class paper. Loans in
the Stock Exchange are in demand, owing to the
settlement,
and 4/ and 5 per cent. are the charges
from day to day.
Gold to the amount of £78,000 was taken yes-
terday to the Bullion-office of the Bank ; £67,000
being in bars, and £ll,OOO in sovereigns from
Portugal. There were no withdrawals.
It appears that there is a considerable demand
for Confederate Bonds which have been lately ne-
glected ; the price is 4i to 6, but very little stock
i 8 in circulation. Possibly accounts are favourable
to the Philadelphia Convention, and the consequent
return of the Southern States to Congress.
The Bank of France returns show an increase
in the bullion of £40,000, of £770,000 in the bills
discounted, of £540,000 in the notes in circulation,
of £420,000 in the Treasury account, and a reduc-
tion of £160,000 in the current accounts.

Two o'CLocK.
At the Parisßourse to-day, according to Reuter's
telegram,
the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at
69f. 60c.

Transactions in the English Stock Market to-
day have been limited, the settlement of the fort-
nightly account still engaging the chief attention of
the dealers and brokers. The Funds, notwithstand-
ing the prevailing quietude, are still maintained with
considerable firmness. Consols are 891 f for trans-
fer to the 6th proximo, and 891 8 for the 9th
October, being an advance of 1 per cent.
The immediate value thus placed upon the re-
spective prices is indicative of confidence based
upon the improved position of our monetary
relations, home and foreign politics, and the esti-
xuated harvest nof much if below the average of
previous years. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 881 to I ; Bank Stock, 246 ; India
Stock, 210 ; and ditto 5 per cents., 1041 to f.
Foreign Stocks are generally at enhanced prices,
"ing chiefly to the state of the account which will
be concluded this evening. Greek Bonds have ad-
vanced f, to 14/ 4 ; Spanish Passive /, to 231 1;
and Italian 1, to 551. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 1
lower, at 251 1 ; Mexican 1, at 161 I ; and Bra-
n Scrip remains steady at 18 1 dis. Most of
United
American Securities are at an improvemen t.
united States 5-20 Bonds have risen 1 to 73/ fErie
shares 4, to 45f 468 ; and Illinois /, to 791
il. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben-
tures remain firm at 62 63, and the Consolidated'
Mortgage Bonds at 46 48.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active, and a further upward movement
has been established in prices. Great Eastern have
advanced £2 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, £1
°B. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, Metropolitan, and
-nlidland, each £1 ss. ; and North Eastern (Ber-
rick),. £1 ; while Brighton have declined £2; Great
. Northern A. Stock, £1 ; and Great Western, ss.
In the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been
little change of importance. Great Luxembourg
,41‘e dealt in at 148 ; South-Austrian and Lom-
bardo-venetian at 16/ ; Grand Trunk of Canada at
228 8 ; and Great Indian Peninsula at 1064 78.
sank and Miscellaneous Shares are quiet.

A MAYOR'S NEST.—The Empress Eugenie, when
lately at Nancy, received the municipal authorities of the
province. You know, also, that the Prince Iniperial was
with her Majesty. The mayor of a small commune was
anxious not to withdraw without having addressed a gra-
cious word to the young Prince. "What is your age, my
Prince ? " said he. "I am ten," answered the Prince.
"So young, and already the son of the Emperor of the
French !" exclaimed the mayor, with great emphasis.
During the last few days the dealings in the
foreign and colonial produce markets have been on a
moderate scale. Sugars have generally maintained
former rates, while there has been a fair inquiry for
coffee, and superior qualities have sold readily at
about previous prices. Rice has been in demand,
chiefly for exportation, but the high rates demanded
by holders has, in some measure, checked operations.
Tallow has only been in moderate Bequest, with
very little speculative business going forward; quo-
tations, however, remain steady in all positions.
