MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The demand for discount accommodation remains
inactive, and the rates for the best bills are nego-
tiable at I per cent. less than the official minimum.
The prospect of monetary affairs is, from external
appearances, therefore cheering; but there is, never-
theless, no great belief in anything like a permanent
easy condition.

It is stated that the drawing to determine which
of the fifteen series of the Italian Domain Loan is
to be paid off iu April next will take place at Turin
on the 30th inst.

The Master of the Rolls has ordered the petition
of the Great Northern Copper Mining Company of
South Australia (Limited) to stand over until after
the annual general meeting, and that the officers of
the company should not be entitled to any salary
until the further order of the Court.

The directors of the St. John d'El Rey Mining
Company (Limited) have received, per Estrama-
dura, the following report, dated Morro Velho,
16th December, 1865 :--Produce for November,
42,427 oitavas ; from 4,776 tons stone, yield 8.419 ;
cost for, £10,217 ; profit for, £6,134; produce,
11 days of December, 17,095 oitavas; yield- 9.717
oitavas per ton.
In the manufacturing districts during the past
Week there has been more activity. At Manches-
ter a large business has been done in cloths and
Yarns, chiefly for exportation. The woollen trade
of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been
more animated owing to operations for the spring
demands. In the hosiery and lace departments of
Leicester and Nottingham the demand for most de-
scriptions of goods has been good ; while at Bir-
mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton operations
in most branches have been done, on a greater
Scale than usual at this period of the year.

Two O'CLOCK.
The Australasian, from New York, has arrived,
with £225,700.
Very little business is reported in the silver
market.

When the English market opened this morning
there was an appearance of dulness, and the subse-
quent transactions having comprised a preponder-
ance of sales, prices have receded * per cent..; for
honey they are now 86k 87, and for the account
87* -I. There is nothing of a special character
with regard to money and commerce to cause this
depression, but it cannot be disguised that politics
are not viewed with an ordinary degree of con-
fidence. The approaching session is looked for-
ward to with some anxiety, and a, part of the pre-
vailing heaviness of the Funds may be attributed
to this circumstance. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 86* 87 ; Exchequer Bills, ls. dis. ;
India 5 per Cents., 1024 ; ditto Bonds, 15s. prem.
Sales have chiely prevailed in the Foreign Stock
Market, and quotations are generally lower.
Turkish 5 per Cents. are 391 ; Mexican, 21* 1 ;
ditto New, 18/ 191 ; Greek, 14 1 ; Spanish Passive,
254 s; the Certificates, 131 * ; Italian, 61/ 62 ;
the Confederate Loan, 5* 6*; Brazilian Scrip, /
Prem. ; the Egyptian Railway Loan Scrip, I
prem. United States Government 5.20 Bond: are
66i k ; Erie Bonds, 571 58 ; and Illinois, 75i 76.
A retrograde movement has taken place in the
Railway Share Market, and it will be seen by the
official list that South Eastern, Great Northern A,
Great Western, North Western, Midland, and
Great Eastern have been principally depressed.
The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibited little
Change of importance.
English and American Bank shares are quoted
18 prem. ; British Convention Bonds of Mexico,
6 72 ; London Steam Towing Company, 1} 2
1)relli• ; Charles Lafitte and Co., 21 2/ prem. ; and
Galatz Candle Company, i prem.
