TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is in a very perturbed state
owing to the sudden rise yesterday in the official
rate of discoant. The brokers have since Thursday
last, When the minimum was advanced to 7 per cent.,
charged fully per 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-
tion, 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
000 for the Continent, while
£16,000 was received there.
The bills of a Bombay bank were returned yes-
terday 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
large business.
A meeting has been held to-day of the Hudson's
Bay Company, for the purpose of considering the
following resolutions :
That an association be now formed, to be called " The
godson's Bay Shareholders' Association," having for its
sures
i'rincfPal object—to support all necessary and proper mea-
for carrying out the systematic colonization of the
territory. That the following resolutions be proposed
for adoption at the next ensuing Court of the
Company: —" That the Hudson's Bay Company h
been re-arranged in 1863, with the expressed
objectaving of
°Peoing to European colonization a large area of the terri-
t°rY tinder a liberal and systematic scheme of land settle-
laent, the interest of the company demand the accomplish-
naent 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-
Yenient after this meeting, to the directors, protesting
against the reported proposition to alienate the lands of
the Corporation of Canada, and urging immediate steps
for the settlement of the territory.

O'CLOCK

Iteuter's telegram, the Three per Cent Renter were
quoted 63f. Very flat. Offering.
Continued depression prevails in the English
Stock Market, and the Funds show a decline of 1
Per cent. This depreciation is no doubt partly
owing to the arrangements for the monthly liquida-
tion, 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
Bother failure. Consols are 861 f for money, and
51 for money, and 851 1, ex div., for June. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities have been
dealt in rather largely at 841 1. Bank Stock is
