MONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL 1E

TWELVE O'CLOCIL

There is a good demand for money in discount
circles, owing to a very large number of heavy bills
arriving at maturity to-morrow, and to payments
connected with revenue. The general rate is about
equal to the official minimum, viz., 7. per cent.
The sum of £85,000 in gold was taken to the
Bank of England yesterday.
The Bank of England return for the past week
is favourable, but the alterations have not been very
important. Annexed are the particulars :

The Bank of France return is very satisfactory.
The bullion has been increased £712,000, and the
Treasury accounts £74,000 ; while there has been a
decrease of £472,000 in the bills discounted, of
£750,000 in the notes in circulation, of £16,000 in
the advances, and of £280,000 in the current
accounts.

During the last few days there has been very little
animation exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets. Tea has been neglected, while
only moderate transactions have taken place in
sugar, at about previous prices. Coffee has been
in fair request at steady quotations, but tallow has
remained inactive, and late rates are barely supported.

Two O'CLOCK.

According to Reuter's telegram the French
Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted at 69f. 70c.
Unanimated, but firm.
A slight improvement has taken place in the
English Stock Market, and Consols are now quoted
86/ f for money, and 87 I for the account. There
is no doubt that much of the recent depreciation in
the Funds has been caused by sales, in consequence
of monetary wants to pay for calls, &c., connected
with joint-stock enterprise. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 84f 85f ; Bank of England
Stock, 250 k 252 ; India 5 per Cents., 102 k ; do.
4 per Cents., 95/ ; ditto Debentures, 1001.
No particular change is noticeable in Foreign
Stocks. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 38 ; Mexican,
22k 4 ; do. New, 19/ 20 ; Greek, 151 ; Spanish
Passive, 274 1 ; the Certificates, 16 3-16 5-16 ;
Italian, 614 f ; Brazilian Scrip, if 2f prem. ;
Egyptian Railway Scrip, k / prem. ; and Chilian
Loan, 21 / prem. United States Government
5-20 Bonds are 701 ; Erie Shares, 544 ; and
Illinois, 77/ 78.

Business in the railway share market has re-
mained very quiet, but in one or two instances
slightly higher rates are current. North Western
have improved 55., and Midland, North Eastern
(Berwick), and South-Eastern each 10s. ; while
Brighton have declined 10s.
In the Foreign and Colonial lines there is little
change of importance. Great Western of Canada
have improved to 16k ; and Grand Trunk of
Canada have declined to 344.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue quiet.
European are dealt in at 12 ; London and County
at 77 ; Oriental Bank Corporation at 53} ; London
Financial at 12i ; Joint Stock Discount at 101 dis. ;
and National Discount at 124 ; Anglo-American
Telegraph Co.'s shares are quoted + 4 prem. ; and
Imperial Land Co. of Marseilles, 31 31 prem.
