XoNEY MARKET

AND
COMMEROLU

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A very moderate business is reported in the gene-
ral discount market, and the position of the rates
for all classes of bills remain without the least
change.
Bar gold, to the amount of £lO,OOO, was taken to
the Bank on Saturday.
The West India mail packet has brought £321,000
In specie, and the Asia, from New York, about

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have declined 1, to 51. 53, and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds to 40 41.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the past week state that very little business has
been done in most departments, owing to the obser-
vance of the Christmas holidays and the preparations
in progress for stock-taking usual at this period of
the year.
The coupcns of the Viceroy of Egypt's Mort-
gage Loan, due on the Bth January next, and the
bonds drawn for redemption will be paid at the
office of the Anglo-Egyptian Batik (Limited), on
and after the above date. The coupons and bonds
must be left two clear days previously for examina-
tion.

The Fourth City Mutual Building and Invest-
ment Society announce that they are still paying
5 per cent. ou deposits repayable at fourteen days'
notice. The amount received by the society on
deposit for the year ending Sept. 30, 1866, was
£28,768 ; and as a proof of the security of the in-
vestment, it is stated that the whole of the society's
funds are invested in freehold or leasehold proper-
ties, secured in every case by a mortgage.

Two O'CLOCK.

The English Funds are again less buoyant, a
further reaction amounting to f having taken place
to day ; Consols are, therefore, 984 a for money
and the Gth January ; and 89k 90 for the February
account. Business has been very dull not only in
this, but also in the other departments of the house.

very inactive, but in one or two instances prices are
well sustained. Great Eastern and Lancashire and
