M ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

It is scarcely less than a holiday in the City, so
far as relates to monetary, commercial, and Stock
Exchage affairs. The inquiries for discounts are
limited in all quarters, Bank included. The
attendance in all departments is below what
might be considered a Saturday minimum, and
few have seemed disposed to work "at any price."
So there is nothing at all of importance to report
with regard to all the subjects to which reference is
made in this column. A short time ago we had
ahnost too much to report, and now upon the prin-
ciple of the vis inertie scarcely anything can be said
with regard to business.
The share movement during the past week has
been on an extensive scale, consequent upon large
arrivals from America. The imports have amounted
to about £1,976,597, while the exports have been to
the extent of £767,317, chiefly remittances to the
Continent through private sources.

Two o'CLocx.

According to Reuter's telegrams this morning,
the French Rentes were 63f. 10c. Firm and inani-
mate.

The week, so far as Stock Exchange affairs are
concerned, has closed very favourably. All the
principal Securities, viz., the Funds, the chief of the
Foreign Bonds, Railways, Finance, and Miscellane-
ous are higher. Consols closed at 861 1 for money,
and 861 1 for the account. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are quoted at 851 ; Exchequer
Bills for June, 3s. dis. ; India 5 per Cents., 103/ ;
and ditto Bonds, ss. dis. to ss. prem.

dency. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 281 ; Mexican,

generally have shown an upward movement.

North Western each 1; Great Eastern 1; Great
Western South and Eastern each 1; Metropolitan
