TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Notwithstanding the disquietude in Stock Ex-
change circles, and the rumours which questioned
the solvency not only of private firms but also of
joint-stock companies, and the consequent depre-
ciation of prices, there is now a better and more con-
fident tone. In the Money Market, although the
rates are stringent, the future is regarded in a more
encouraging light. Gold is now being taken into
the Bank instead of sent abroad. Yesterday a small
sum, namely, £6,000, was received there, and as
the exchanges are slightly improving there is a
probability that more will soon follow.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets,
during the last few days, there has been a very
limited amount of business transacted. Sugars
have been neglected, and quotations have shown a
slightly downward tendency. Tea has been with-
out material change, and superior qualities of
colonial coffee have sustained fully late rates. Rice,
however, has been neglected, and tallow has been
in very limited request at barely previous rates.
The English Joint-Stock Bank has been admitted
a member of the Clearing-house. Hitherto the pri-
vilege has been accorded by virtue of the amalga-
mation with the old firm of Olding and Co.

According to Reuter's telegram, the French
Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted at 68f. 80c.
Heavy.
The greater portion of the business now going on
at the Stock Exchange is directly connected with
the settlement of the account in the foreign and
share departments. Consols, however, are * per
cent. better, the latest prices being 87 1 for money,
and 87j for the account. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 861 87i ; Bank Stock, 247 ;
and India 5 per Cents, 104
In the Foreign Stock Market prices continue to
be Well supported. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 38+ *;
Mexican, 224 4 ; do. New, 201 j- ; Greek, 13 14 ;
Spanish Passive, 27i I ; Certificates, 14 16 ;
Italian, 60+ 4 ; Confederate Loan, 5 6 ; Egyptian
Scrip, prem. ; Brazilian Scrip, 1 1i prem. ;
United States 5-20 Bonds 67 1 ; Erie Shares,
50fr 51f ; and Illinois, 73}
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been chiefly connected witn the settlement of the
account, and prices, in several instances, are a
shade firmer. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln
have advanced 12 ; Metropolitan, 15s. ; Lancashire
and Yorkshire, and Midland, each 10s. ; and North
Western, ss. Great Western, however, have de-
clined ss.

Foreign and Colonial Railway shares have re-
ruined very quiet, and Grand Trunk of Canada
have reached about to 2 per cent., being dealt in
at 47! 48±
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are quiet, but
at steady rates. Alliance are dealt in at 27 it;
London Chartered of Australia, at 23 ± ; London
Financial, at 121 f ; and Overend, Gurney, and
Co., at 19
