MONEY-MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

.• • ---
The discount demand at the Bank of England
and in the open market is rather limited, owing to
the inactivity of trade and the principal periodical
requirements of the commercial classes having been
provided for. The rates remain at 81 per cent. and
upwards for the best short-dated bills, and discus-
sion is now turning upon the question of a reduc-
tion in the official minimum to-morrow.
The gold taken into the bullion office of the
Bank of England yesterday amounted to £lB,OOO
in sovereigns, received from America and Lisbon.
There was also a withdrawal of £lO,OOO for the
continent.

The Australian Joint Stock Bank have issued
proposals for an issue of 10,000 shares of £lO each
to meet the wishes of proprietors in England. They
are to be issued at a premium of £6 per share, which
will be carried to the reserve fund, and the allot-
ment will be made pro rata, on the 20th instant,
without distinction. Payment is required on or
before the Ist of August, -which will entitle the
shareholders to a proportion of the dividend accru-
ing to the 31st December, 1866. The shares will
be registered in London, and the dividends will be
paid as soon as advices are received from Sydney
of the meetings, viz., in January and July.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the French Rentes were 64f. 15c.
Very firm,

The English Stock Market has been buoyant,
owing principally to numerous transactions for
investment, and a rise of I per cent. was at one time
recorded in the Funds. Subsequently there has
been less firmness, and Consols are now 86 4 for
money, and 864 87 for the account. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 851 864 ; Bank
Stock, 240 ; and India 5 per Cents., 103 y ; Ex-
chequer Bills for March Bs. dis. to par.
Foreign Stocks generally exhibit steadiness ; in a
few instances a substantial improvement has taken
place. Italian have advanced lf to 421 ; the

Cents. continue at 27/ 28 ; Mexican, at 141 ; ditto
New, at 11/ ; Greek, at 11i ; Spanish Passive,
19i I ; and the Certificates, at 15/ ; United States
5-20 Bonds have improved I to 651 66 ; Erie
Shares, to 37i; and Illinois, 4to 74/ 75/.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change
of importance. South Austrian and Lombardo-
Venetian have advanced to 12/.

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, SOUTH KEN-
SINGTON.—The fortnightly meeting of this society
was unusually well attended yesterday—Viscount Sandon
occupied the chair. Among the most striking objects ex-
hibited was a noble plant of Dipladonia amabilis, covered
with rose-coloured flowers, from Mr. Backhouse ; a grand
specimen of the old Blandfordia nobilis, and a bedding
pelargonium, calls,l King of Nosegays, which promises to
be a great acquisition. Two species of Davallia, from
Borne, and Lomaria ciliata, from New Caledonia, excited
great admiration. A variety of Orach was brought to the
fruit and vegetable committee by Mr. Lee, some of which.
was dressed and pronounced excellent, Mr. Bateman
ofiered some remarks on the orchids exhibited, and lec-
tured on " Sirex juvencus," a curious insect that attacks
fir trees. Mr. Wentworth Buller, P.R.H.S„ also addressed
the meeting on his method of growing orchids, and the
effect of double glazed houses on their growth. Several
new fellows were elected, and a tallot for plants, &c., ter-
minated the business of the meeting.
THE CORRESPONDENTS AT THE SEAT OF WAR.—
The majority of the correspondents sent by the Paris jour-
nals to the belligerent armies in Austria and Italy have
already returned. A few only have continued iu their un-
dertaking, owing to the obstacles they meet, and the little
Cordiality they find am-ang both the Italians and the Aus-
trians.-- Galignani.
