MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market remains in a very inactive
state, the inquiry for discounts being exceedingly
limited. The lowest quotations of the brokers, how-
ever, are still 5-1 and 6 per cent.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon.
A meeting of Spanish Passive bondholders and
certificate holders is to be held on Saturday, for the
purpose of considering the expediency of requesting
the committee of the Stock Exchange to open the
Market for the negotiation of Spanish securities.
The Smyrna and Casaba Railway Company pro-
Pose to issue £230,000 debentures bearing interest
at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum at the price of
£B7 10s. per £lOO. The debentures now offered
constitute a first charge on the entire undertaking,
the capital of which is £BOO,OOO. They will be re-
bdeenled in 11 years from the Ist July, 1867, at par
Y. annual drawings. The allotments will be made
strictly
in the order in which applications are re-
Cived. The brokers are Messrs. Scrimgeour and
°•7 of Old Broad-street.
h in the foreign and colonial produce markets there
,a 4 been very little animation during the last few
mays, and prices generally have remained without
rrnaterial variation. Sugars have continued in very
filnitocl request, but there has been a fair inquiry
or coffee, rice, and tallow.
ho.iders of
t an ordinary general meeting of the share-
the Australian Mortgage Land and
*Finance Company, held to-day, the directors re-
commended the payment of a dividend, for the six
months ended December at the rate of £l2 10s.

The market for the English Funds has been well
Nailltained, but no change of importance has taken
404,e.e in values. The recent inclination of the public
ve 'lced in these columns to return to Home Go-
Cvernment securities is still observable, and daily
oriv fide transactions for investment are reported.
‘ti'lensols remain at 87f for money, and 87f f for
G account. With regard to the other English
overanlent Stocks there is no particular change to
P tial ly
record, but there is a slight tinge which may be
s;
ascribed to the proceedings in the House
"
thm.C°llaal°ll3 ; yet it may be reasonably expected
an improvement will take place as soon as the
Government of the country is established on a
saisfactory basis.
In the Foreign Stock Market several dealings
'loe taken place, and prices generally have im-
tcrved. Mexican have risen f per cent., viz.,
.to
pasilliiv;e and the New Loan, fto 18f ; es
remain at 25f ; but the C---"ertmeates
tau
better at 15f ; Turkish 5 per Cents., con-
ctinue steady at 34f ; Italian are weak, being I per
„ent. lower, at 538 -a ; Chilian Scrip is quoted par
;.° 1 prem. . Brazilian Scrip, 2,1 dis. ; Egyptian
Railway Scrip, 3 2 dis. ; and ditto New Loan Scrip,
I,li 2i prem.; American Securities are buoyant.
United States 5-20 Bonds are 70f a ; Erie Shares,
62 ; and Illinois, 794 804.
Most of the finance shares are fiat, owing to the
recent failures among the banking community and
the continued firmness in the rates of discount.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued very quiet, and in several instances prices
are a shade flatter. North Eastern (Berwick) have
receded f, Midland I, London, Chatham, and
Dover f, and Great Northern 1.

In the Foreign and Colonial lines there is little
Variation to report.
Bank shares are very quiet. Consolidated are
dealt in at 9i ; Hindostan, China, and Japan at
13 ; Alliance at 23f ; London Bank of Mexico at
12 ; and Imperial Ottoman at
