UONEYMARKET'

AND

COMMERMAL p.l T

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
As we stated on Saturday, the affairs of last week
closed with .a tranquilised appearance. The pub-
lished correspondence between the Government and
the Bank of England was considered very re-
assuring, and it was not supposed that the com-
mencement of business, this morning would be
marked by any exciting symptonis. But it has so
happened that much commotion prevailed and
Prices oscillated rather violently. It would thus
appear that this monetary fever is of an intermittent
character. On Saturday it abated, this morning it re-
turned, and at the moment of our writing it has again
partially subsided. Affairs are in a very unsettled
state, and it will be some time before they assume a
normal position. It is congratulatory, however, to
find mercantile credit so well sustained in such try-
ing times. That other failures will occur appears
to be inevitable, and, as may be supposed, many
rumours of altogether an unfounded character are in
course of circulation. The City quid nuncs, out-
siders, comprising broken-down members of the
various departments of business, have con-
tributed largely to the recent agitation ; and it
is rather singular that so much importance should
have been attached to their vaticinations. The
Fonda, many of the Foreign Stocks, Railway and
Miscellaneous Shares are better. But, as already
stated, there is an oscillating movement, and
although the result of the day's business is in doubt
there seems to be an opinion that an amelioration
will speedily ensue.
On Saturday £58,000 in gold was sent into the
Bauk, and no withdrawals of importance took
Place.

Two O'CLOCK.
According to Reuter's telegram this morning, the
French Renter were 64f. sc. Firm
The dealers and brokers at the Stock Exchange
have been very busy all day. Besides the arrange-
ment of the liquidation, a very large amount of new
business has been entered into, and principally for
a rise in prices. Yet all is confusion, and there is
a home political element in the existing state
of affairs. There is most assuredly a want
of confidence in the monetary world, and
With banks failing and a 10 per cent. mimimum
it is not surprising that the Stock Exchange should
be agitated. Consols are 85i for transfer, and 86
11-16 13-16 for the account, or per cent. higher
than they were on Saturday evening. A very ex-
tensive business has been transacted in the New
Threes and Reduced Annuities at enhanced quota-
ti°ns• India securities are particularly quiet at
merely nominal prices. Exchequer Bills are marked
3s• dig.

Foreign Stocks have been dealt in at firmer prices.
Turkish 5 per Cents. are 29i 30 ; Mexican, 154
16 ; ditto New, 13 ; Greek, 9 4 ; Spanish Passive,
221 ; Certificates, 144 15 ; Italian, 39 40 ; and
ditto New, 54 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 8 7,± dis.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
chiefly connected - with the settlement, but prices
'lave shown an upward movement. Great Eastern
have advanced *, South Western and North
Eastern (Berwick) each and. Metropolitan 1.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
material change, except East Indian, which have
advanced 1.
Bank and miscellaneous shares continue in fair
(letnand, at a slight demand on previous rates. Lon-
.,l°ll and County are marked 70 75 ; London and
Westminster, 94 ; Union of London, 50 ; General
Credit, ; National Discount, 11k to 12i ; and
Overend, Gurney, and Co., 141 15i dis.
The fresh supplies of home-grown wheat on offer
lit the corn markets to-day were to a moderate ex-
teat, and being in good condition factors demanded
"11 advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter. Only a limited
_l3llainess, however, has been transacted. Foreign
;:heat remained inactive at foimer rates. Barley,
cans, peas, and flour were without material change.
