DIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL NTELLIGIMN'

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market, to-day, is still easier, and
in rather less demand.
Business in the Foreign Market is dull, but prices
generally are a shade firmer. Greek Bonds are
quoted 121- 13f ; Mexican Stock, 29-1- 201; Turkish
5 per Cents. 38i 39*.
The first ordinary meeting of shareholders in the
General Irrigation and Water Supply Company of
France was held yesterday under the presidency of
Mr. R. S. Lane. The chairman, in moving the
adoption of the report, congratulated the share-
holders upon the fact that the affairs of the com-
pany more than realised the most sanguine expecta-
tions which were held out in the prospectus, sanguine
as some of those statements were. The works
Undertaken upon the Verdon were being carried on
with every prospect of their being completed within
the period and within the price originally stipulated.
In addition to that he was glad to inform the meet-
ing that two canals had been undertaken, one of
Which would assuredly be completed before the next
meeting, and with the rents derived from that would
afford them an opportunity of putting in their next
balance-sheet an item which did not appear on their
present one, namely, that of profit and loss. He did
not wish to hold out expectations as to the amount
of that profit, but he felt it to be a very important
element, auguring well for future stability and suc-
cess, that they were thus early affording practical
proof of the correctness of those anticipations which
were at the onset themselves somewhat theoretical.
After some further remarks relative to the capitali-
sation of the water rents, showing the advantageous
nature of the arrangement, and expressing a hope,
almost amounting to a conviction, that before long
the committee of the English Stock Exchange would
grant a quotation, the speaker concluded by reading
au extract from the Molaiteur, in which great stress
Was laid upon the benefits which must inevitably
accrue to the country from the irrigating canals
undertaken by the company. After a very slight
discussion the report was adopted.

Two O'CLOCK.
The Funds are firmer, but very little business
has been negotiated as usual on Saturday. Con-
sols close at 86 87 for transfer, and at 871 a for
karell. Very few dealings are recorded in the
official list for investment or on speculation. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 864 87 ;
Exchequer Bills, 7s. to 2s. dis. ; Bank of England
Stock, 247; India Stock, 210 ; and ditto 5 per
Cents, 1021.
Business in the Foreign Market is quiet. Turkish
5 per Cents. are 381 391; Mexican, 201 ; ditto
New, 174 181; Greek, 121 13 ; Spanish Passive,
244 25 ; the Certificates, 13i j ; Italian, 611- a ;
the Confederate Loan, 5 6 ; Brazilian Scrip,
Prem. ; and Egyptian Railway Scrip, } * prem.
The operations in the Railway Share Market have
been on a limited scale. A firmer tone, however,
has been apparent. Great Northern and Midland
have each improved £1 ; Great Eastern and North
Eastern (Berwick) each ; and Great Western and
South Eastern, each I.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
without moderate change, with the exception of
Grand Trunk of Canada, which have reached about
2 per cent.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, although
prices generally are well supported. London and
County are de in at 761 ; Alliance at 261 xd ;
tioion of Australia, at 501 51 ; London Financial,
,at 151 a ; National viscount at 14i 15i ; and
uverend, Gurney, and Company, at 191 ; Lon-
cl.°l3. Steam Towing Company Shares are ;quoted
4 2 prem. ; and Chas: Laffitts and Co., 331 prem.
