MONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market presents a firmer and more
active appearance. Some of the banks have with-
drawn large sums of money from the brokers, and
the quotations for accommodation have therefore
slightly enhanced. First-class bills are charged 6,
and only in exceptional cases has 5i per cent. been
taken.

The Share List of the Central American Asso-
ciation (Limited) closes on Saturday next, the 31st
inst., for London applications, and Monday, the
2d April for the country.

The Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com-
pany have issued their annual report to the Euro-
pean road-holders in anticipation of the ferthcom-
hag meeting. A thorough investigation of the ac-
counts of the company to the end of the year has
been made by Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs,
and Co. In the March quarter, upon 322 miles,
the gross receipts were equal to £1,633 per mile per
annum, or 73.79 per cent. In the samequarter, upon
the same mileage, they were equal to £1,858 per mile
per annum, or 72.48 per cent. of the receipts, In the
September quarter, however, the expenses fell to
the rate of £1,258 per mile per annum, or 56.66 per
cent. of the receipts, and in the December quarter
they were equal to £1,463 per mile per annum, or
57'42 per cent. of the receipts. The effect of this
alteration in the proportion of expenditure to re-
ceipt is forcibly illustrated in the column showing
the excess of receipts over expenditure, from which
it appears that in the December quarter this excess
was equal to a yearly profit of £3,188, or £531,364
at an exchange of $6 to the pound sterling, The
account shows that the balance applicable for divi-
dend is £168,148.

Two O'CLOCK.

According to Reuter's telegram the French
Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted at 68f. 45c.
Flat.

English Government stocks have been further
depressed to-day, and the market has been ♦ery
dull. Consols are now quoted 86i for money,
and 861 for the account. The fortnightly set-
tlement engages chief attention, and prices of the
different descriptions of speculative shares: are in
a few instances a little firmer. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are quoted 841 1 ; An-
nuities 1855, 13i; Exchequer Bills for March, 10s.
dis. ; for June, Gs. to 3s. dis. ; India 5 per Cents.,
1021; and ditto Enfaced 5} per Cents., 1071 to
108.

In the Foreign Stock Market the business trans.
acted to day has been chiefly in connection with the
arrangements for the settlement. Greek are 13f 14;
Mexican, 21/ ; Spanish Passive, 261; Certificates,
16 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, 661 ; ditto 5 per
Cents., 37k- 4 ; Brazilian Scrip, 1 / dis. ex div. ;

1862, 89/ 90 ; ditto, 1864, 94 ; Venezuelan 6 per
Cents., 1864, 37i.

Business in the Railway Share Market has re-
mained very inactive, and in several instances prices
have shown less firmness. Great Eastern have re-
ceded and Great Northern and Great Western
each ; while North-Western and North-Eastern
(Berwick) have each improved

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
is not much variation. Grand Trunk of Canada,
however, improved to 30k ; and Great Indian
Peninsula to 1081 108/.
