MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMEP,CIAL INTELLTGS NOE

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market to-day is very quiet, and the
supplies of floating capital are ample.
It is almost a holiday in the City, the attendance
being considerably below the Saturday average.
The movements of the precious metals during the
past week have been of an extensive character, and
have amounted to about £815,684, chiefly from
Australia and the West Indies and Pacific. The
exports have been to the extent of £165,650, the
greater portion of which has been despatched to
Bombay in silver.
The official returns relating to the trade and navi-
gation of the United Kingdom for the two months
ending the 28th February have been published.
From these it appears that the total declared value
of the exports for the two months has been
£29,470,811, against £21,865,553 in the corre-
sponding period of 1860, showing an increase of
£7,605,258. The increase has been most percep-
tible in coals and culm, beer and ale, cotton yarn,
cotton manufactures, haberdashery and millinery,
hardware and cutlery, linen manufactures, silk
manufactures, sheep and lamb's wool, and woollen
and worsted manufactures.

The importations of the principal articles has
been larger as regards raw cotton, provisions, rice,
cocoa, wheat, flour, brandy, unrefined sugar, tea,
and tobacco.

The shipping accounts exhibit a slight increase
in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign
trade for the entries inwards, and also for the
clearances outwards, while in the coasting trade for
the like period there is a decrease in the tonnage
employed for the entries inwards, as also for the
clearances outwards.

Two O'CLOCK.

According to Reuter's telegram the French
Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted at 67f. 45c.
Extreme quietude has marked the close of busi-
ness for the week in Stock Exchange circles, and
prices show little variation. For several days there
has been a considerable diminution of speculative
enterprise, and for the moment little desire is mani-
fested to open new acounts. Consols are 86-4-
for money and April, and 861 for the May account.
The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are
about the same as before.

Foreign Stocks are extremely dull, and without
the slightest variation of importance. Turkish 6
per Cents. are 371 ; Mexican, 20i s ; New, 181 4 ;
Greek, 131 ; Spanish Passive, 261 ; Certifi-
cates, 151 ; Italian, 581 4 ; New, 761 4 ; Con-
federate Loan, 6 7 ; Chili= Loan, 11 f prem. ; and
Brazilian Scrip, 1 11 dis.
United States 5-20 Bonds are 711 ; Erie shares,
551 1 ; and Illinois, 801.
The operations in the Railway Share Market have
been very limited. Great Northern A Stock has de-
clined £l, and Great Eastern and North Western
each ss.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain
without material variation. Grand Trunk of Ca-
nada, however, have improved to 311; and Great
Western of Canada to 161 1.
Bank and miscellaneous shares are quoted at
about former rates, Bank of London being marked
