There is no very active demand for monetary
accommodation, and the quotations for the best
accommodatiOn paper continue at about 6i and 6i
per cent. The supply of floating capital is not so
abundant as it was during the latter days of the
past week.

Notice has been given that Exchequer Bills,
dated March, will be renewed at 3 per cent.
A capital of £1,600,000 is required by the Im-
perial Land Company of Marseilles. The project
is introduced by the Credit Foncier and Mobilicr of
England, Agra and Masterman's Bank, and the
National Bank. It is proposed to acquire various
portions of building land and properties in the city
Of Marseilles, and to deal with them on a general
Plan for the improvement of that important and in-
cr"sing port. The total purchase money is tc be
£3,325,163, but a proportion of this, amounting to
4,2,668,640, ispayable by instalments spread over 50
years, so that the sum required in cash is limited to
£656,523. The scheme is of a striking character,
and one section of the property is already stated to
have been resold by the company to an association
of builders at a profit of about £600,000, to be
Paid in annuities extending over 30 years, while all
the remainder is expected to be disposed of in lots at
Constantly improving rates during the next five
Years. The brokers are Messrs. Mullens, Marshall,
and Daniell ; Hill, Fawcett, and Hill ; and Messrs.
Laurence, Son, and Pearce.
n The Africa, from America, has arrived with
£2,257.

According to Reuter's telegram, the French
Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted at 69f. 30c.
Rather firm.

The English Stock Market has been very inactive,
and quotations are fractionally lower. Speculators
are evidently waiting for cheaper money before they
operate to any large extent, and for the moment
great inanimation prevails. Consols are 871 1 for
Money, and 871 for the account. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 87. i 1 ; Exchequer Bills,
ss. to 2s. dis. ; India Stock, 210 ; and ditto Bonds,
1(13. prem.
Foreign Stocks indicate heaviness. Turkish 5
per Cents. are 381 4 ; Mexican, 23 1 ; do. New,
20 a ; Greek, 131 14 ; Spanish Passive, 27+ 1 ;
Italian, 604 61; Certificates, 16a 4 ; Confederate
Loan, 3i 44 ;
Brazilian Scrip, 2+ prem. ; and
Egyptian Scrip, 1 1 prem. United States 5-20 Bonds
are 69+ 70 ; Erie Shares, 534 544 ; and Illinois, 77 1.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
to about an average extent. North Western and
North Eastern have eaeh improved 155., and
Metropolitan ss. ; while Great Eastern, Great
Western, and Midland have each declined +.
In the Foreign and Colonial lines South Austrian
and Lombardo-Venetian have receded to 15i, Grand
Trunk of Canada to 40k, and Great Western of
Canada 16+.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull but with-
out materal alteration in prices. Alliance are dealt
la at 28+ ; London and County, at 771 78 ; Joint
Stock Discount, at 34 4 ; and Overend, Gurney,
and CO., at 191. A large business has been done
