AIONIYMARKET

AND
COBIDIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

The done TWELVE o'CLocK.
owin y Market is in a very perturbed state
g to the sudden rise yesterday in the official
rate of discount. The brokers have since Thursday
last, when the minimum was advanced to 7 per cent.,
charged fully 4per cent. more than the Bank quo-
tation, and the greater portion of the demand has
consequently been thrown upon the national insti-
tution. The further increase in the value of money
has tended to strengthen the indisposition of capi-
talists to negotiate business even at the new quota-
tlol3, viz., 8 per cent., until they have seen the
Weekly return to-morrow, and been enabled to form
a decided opinion as to the position of the Bank.
At the bullion office of the Bank yesterday there
Was a withdrawal of 35,000 sovereigns for the
Brazils, and £4,000 for the Continent, while
£16,000 was received there.
rho bills of a Bombay bank were returned yes-
terclaY• The cause assigned is that the funds in
London had been attached. The liabilities are
supposed to be small, as the bank has not been
established more than a year, and did not transact
a large business.
A meeting has been held to-day of the Hudson's
13ay Company, for the purpose of considering the
following resolutions :
That an association be now formed, to be called " The
liudson's Bay Shareholders' Association," having for its
Principal object—to support all necessary and proper mea-
suresrfor carrying out the systematic colonization of the
for
teory. That the following resolutions be proposed
adoption at the next ensuing Court of the
Company " That the Hudson's. Bay Company having
been re-arranged in 1863, with the expressed object of
Mang to European colonization a large area of the terri-
tory under a liberal and systematic scheme of land settle-
ment, the interest of the company demand the accomplish-
!neat of that obiect without any further delay ; and that
the directors be requested to take into their early and
serious consideration what is the best mode of effecting
the object. That a memorial be presented as soon as con-
Vendent after this meeting, to the directors, protesting
Against the reported proposition to alienate the lands of
he Corporation of Canada, and urging immediate steps
for the settlement of the territory.

O'CLOCK
At the Paris Bourse this morning, Two
. according •
to
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent Rentes were
quoted 63f. Very flat. Offering.
Continued depression prevails in the English
Stock Market, and the Funds show a decline of
Per cent. This depreciation is no doubt partly
,°.wing to the arrangements for the monthly liquida-
lion, which will be concluded this evening. A job-
ber doing only a small business in this department
has been declared a defaulter, but there has been no
other failure. Consols are 868 I for money, and
,8„511 for money, and 85+ 1, ex div., for June. The
'Now Threes and Reduced Annuities have been
dealt in rather largely at 84+ f. Bank Stock is
quoted 242, and India Stock 212. India ser Cents.
are at 1044 105. p
Yesterday afternoon most of the principal
z °reign speculative Stocks improved, and the ad-
vance has tempted sales by those who bought at
ig the lowest point of depreciation. The consequence
a renewal of heaviness, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing latest prices :—Turkish 5 per Cents. are
11 ;81 ; Mexican, 16+1 ; New, 14+ 15 ; Greek, 10f

6si 66+; Erie, 46+ 47 ; and Illinois, 76f 77.
In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of
business has been transacted, and a firmer tone has
Prevailed. Great Eastern, South Western, Metro-
politan, Midland, and South-Eastern have each
improved 10s. ; Great Western, 15s. ; Great
Northern A Stock, ss. ; and Brighton, £l.
The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit little
Change of importance.
