MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL .WT2LLIGENria,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The condition of the Money Market is easier, al-
though no important alteration has been made in the
rates charged by bankers and brokers. First class
bills have, however, in exceptional instances, been ne-
gotiated at 51 per cent., and as gold continues to be
sent into the Bank, and the demand for accommo-
dation is only moderate, lower quotations are gene-
rally anticipated.
The sum of £25,000 in gold was taken to the
Bank yesterday.
A new loan for Egypt is to be introduced into
this and the Paris Money Market. The amount
will be for more than £3,500,000, to be issued in a
7 per cent. stock, at the price of about 91. The
bonds will be redeemable in 15 years, and the se-
curity to be hypothecated consists of agricultural
lands, with produce, &c.
During the last few days there has been very little
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets, and little change of importance has taken
place in prices. Sugars have been in moderate re-
quest, while only limited dealings have been re-
ported in tea and coffee. Rice has been in better
demand, while tallow has been in fair demand, both
for present and forward delivery.
The City Offices Company (Limited) have re -
moved their offices from 70, Cheapside, to their new
building, St. Clement's House, Clement-lane, Lom-
bard-street.
The Stock Exchange Committee have this day
appointed Friday, 23d March, a special settling
day in the new shares of the National Discount
Company (Limited), which are to be quoted in the
official list.

The course:of values in the English Stock Market
has been rather disturbed by the warlike feeling on
the continent. Sales of Stock have been made to-
(lay, and Consols have receded + per cent., viz. to
864 8 for money, and to 87* for the account. The
1-esv Threes and Reduced Annuities are 841 85 ;
, '42cchequer Bills, 6s. dis. to par ; India 5 per Cents.
102 i ; and ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., 104.
Foreign Stocks have also been largely pressed for
sale, and prices generally show a decline! Turkish
5 Per Cents. are 371 ; Mexican, 228 1 ; ditto New,
24 a ; Greek, 14 * ; Spanish Passive, 27* 28 ; the
Certificates, 164 8 ; Italian, 604 8 ; ditto New,
771 4 ; Confederate Loan, 6f 7; Chilian Scrip, 4
2 Prem. ; Brazilian Scrip, 24 8 prem. ; and Egyp-
tian Railway Loan, 8 prem. United States 5-20
kids, 70* 718 ; Erie, 56 I; and Illinois, 79+ 1.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active, but prices, in several instances,
have slightly given way. Great Northern A Stock,
Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Metropolitan have
each receded ss. ; North Western, 10s. ; Manches-
ter,, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 15s. ; and South
Eastern, £lss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines were in fair re-
quest 4 Sambre and Meuse brought 9/ 10*.
Grand Trunk of Canada have declined to 321,
and Great Western of Canada to 14 1.
Bank and 'Miscellaneous Shares remain without
material change. Merchant Bank have improved to
