MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

No alteration has been made to-day in the Bank
of England rate of discount. Five per cent., there-
fore, continues to be the minimum of the authorities,
and 4 per cent. of the brokers in the open market.
rhe demand is rather inactive at present, but it is
likely to increase, owing to the bills which have
been kept in reserve in case a downward movement
had been adopted by the directors.

The sum of £3,050 was taken to the bullion de-
partment of the Bank of England yesterday
afternoon.

We perceive that Mr. Edwin Utley, of 38, Thread-
needle-street, has again issued his cheap and useful
little manual, entitled " London Banks, Credit, Dis-
count, and Finance Companies." As it seems a re-
liable compilation, and is at once portable and well
arranged with regard to its contents, it may be safely
recommended to capitalists and others.

The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under

1866. 1865.
Great Western 78,861 76,369
North Western 123,466 123,581
South Western 28,534 29,522
Brighton
Midland
South Eastern 29,871 30,812
Great Northern
Lancashire and Yorkshire 46,333 45,320
Bristol and Exeter 7,522 7,553
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 22.606 22,815
Great Eastern
London, Chatham, and Dover 12,943 13,410
These returns, when compared with those of the
corresponding period of last year, are in some in-
stances of a rather unfavourable character. On
the North-Western there is a decrease of £ll5,
South-Western £9BB, South-Eastern £941, Great
Northern £1,082, Matchester, Sheffield, and Lin-
coln £lO9, Great Eastern £921, and London,
Chatham, and Dover £468 ; while the Great
Western shows an increase of £2,492, Brighton
£440, Midland £175, and Lancashire and York-
shire £1,013.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's
telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at
69f. 35c.

The English Stock Market has presented little
feature of interest. The dealings have been limited,
and quotations show no important change, Consols
remaining at 891 for money, and 891 for the
account. In all commercial quarters there is great
dulness, and business for the moment appears
Stagnant. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities
are 861 87 ; Exchequer Bills, 2 dis. to 3 prem. ; and
India 5 per Cents., 1041 /.
Few changes of importance have taken place in
the prices for Foreign Stocks. Greek Bonds' are
151 j. ; Spanish Passive, 22j 231; the Certificates,
151 ; Turkish 5 per Cents., 311 32 ; Mexican
161 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 4i 3} dis.

American securities have been steadily supported.
United States 5-20 Bonds are 721 ; Erie shares,
46 171 ; and Illinois, 781 1. The Atlantic and
Great -Western Railway Debentures are 68 70,
and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, 49 50.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued very dull, and; in several instances, prices
are a shade flatter. Great Eastern and Midland
have each declined 10s., and Lancashire and York-
shire, London, Chatham, and Dover, and Metro-
politan, ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are very dull
and without material change as regards values.
Poi Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has
Only been a moderate inquiry. Imperial Ottoman
are marked of ; London and Westminster, 93 ;
London and County, 631 ; and Union of London,
464 4 ; Anglo-American Telegraph remain at 161
17.1 ; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. paid up
nave improved to 125 1271 ; and Hudson's Bay
Company, to 17 4; Fore-street Warehouse are
Illarked 11; and National Discount Company, 14.
