TONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL iiiiTtLLiti..tv:.ll.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market has only been moderately ac-
tive, as usual on Saturday. Some few bills, which
were held over in case of a reduction on Thursday,
have been brought forward for negotiation, and the
rates have remained firm at Bto 10 per cent. For
short-dated choice paper the quotations have been
as much as one or two per cent. lower.
The specie movement during the week has been
of an extraordinary character. The imports have
amounted to about 091,604, including arrivals
from New York, Australia, the West Indies, and
the Continent, while the exports have been chiefly
to the Continent, through private sources, estimated
at £909,805.

The bullion operations at the Bank of England
yesterday afternoon were not of public interest.
At the Union Bank of Australia yesterday the
tenders for the balance of the Queensland Loan,
£446,350, in 6 per cent. debentures, were opened,
and £116,000 sold ; the remainder is for the present
On sale at the maximum of £B5.

A final call of £2 10s. has been made by the
directors of the Great Western Railway of Canada
upon the new shares, upon which £lB has been
paid.

The half-yearly dividend on the British and Irish
Magnetic Telegraph Company's Shares has been de-
clared at the rate of 6 per cent per annum.

1865, which shows an increase of $4,547.

Two O'CLOCK.
Only a few transactions have taken place to-day
in the British Funds, and there is a degree of steadi-
ness denoting confidence among investors and specu-
lators. Consols are at 881 } for money, and 88}
for the account. The probable cessation of war
on the Continent, and the prospect of easier money,
are exercising a favourable influence. The firmness
of the present Government also contributes to the
stability of values.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been
rather dull, but prices generally have shown an
upward tendency. Turkish 5 per Cents. have ad-
vanced Ito 274 281 ; Mexican, 1 to 171 ; Greek
Bonds, 4to 11} 121 ; Spanish Passive, 1 to 20}
214 ; and the Certificates, I to 141 151, while the
Italian Loan of 1861 has declined Ito 521 ; and
the Brazilian Scrip, 1 to 3 21 discount.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
very dull, and prices generally have shown a down-
ward movement. Metropolitan and North British
have each declined 4, Brighton and North Western
each and Great Northern I.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are flat. Grand
Trunk of Canada have receded 1, to 201.
