CONEY MARKET

C tiIitTERCIAL N : IL IGE N

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market is very active in consequence
of numerous engagements connected with the In-
dian trade falling due to-day. The lowest rate in
the open market is 10 per cent., the floating capital
of the brokers being rather limited. On the Stock I
Exchange loans from day to day on Govern-
ment securities are not in brisk demand, and the
quotations are 7 and 8 per cent.
At the Bank of England yesterday there was an
nfinx of £44,000, viz., £21,000 in bar gold, and
23,000 sovereigns from Alexandria, and there were
no withdrawals.
The position of the Bank of England shows a
slight improvement, although the bullion has been
decreased. Annexed are the particulars

Depression is the principal feature of the Stock
1-Ixchange markets to-day, Consols having declined
per cent., viz., to 871 1 for money, and to 88/ for
the account. Speculative sales have been made
Owing to the uncertain state of the weather, and
the effect it may have upon the result of the har-
vest. Railway shares are unfavourably affected by
the quietude of trade, and the consequent diminu-
tion of the weekly earnings of the principal lines,
especially those traversing the manufa3turing dis-
tricts. Foreign Stocks, too, are not at all lively,
because they are adversely influenced by the general
situation of continental politics. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are marked 861 1- ; Bank
Stock, 247 ; India Stock, 209 ; and ditto 5 per
Cents., 1024 103.
Most of the Foreign Stocks are at lower values.
Mexican have receded Ito 16i a • Turkish 5 per
Cents. Ito 26i 1 ; Spanish Passive to 191; the
Certificates to 141. On the other hand Greek are
better at 111 12 ; Italian 1 at 511 4 ; and the
Brazilian Scrip Ito4l 31 dis. Some of the Ame-
rican Securities are at steady prices. United States
5-20 Bonds have receded 1 to 681 n but Erie
Shares have advanced 1 to 401 41; and Illinois 1 to
75i. 76.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been on a very limited scale, and prices have shown
a downward movement. Great Northern have de-
clined 10s. ; ditto A Stock and Lancashire and
Yorkshire, each 10s. ; and Great Western, North-
Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and
South-Eastern, each ss. ; while Midland has ad-
vanced 55.
The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit little
Change of importance. Great Luxembourg are
dealt in at 121 1 ; Great Indian Peninsula at 1041 ;
and Madras 5 per Cents. at 961.
In Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been
very little animation. London and County have
improved to 621 ; Alliance, to 18 1 ; Anglo-
American Telegraph, to 111 12 ; Atlantic Telegraph
are steady, at 31 4 ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier
of England, 3i dis.; and International Financial,
at l dis.
