TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market to-day is rather more plenti-
fully supplied, and the rates continue firm.
Gold to the amount of £14,000 was taken to the
Bank yesterday.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Thursday, the 15th inst., a special settling
day in the scrip of the Ottoman Six per Cent. Loan
of 1865 ; to be marked.
Notice has been given by the contractors of the
Egyptian Government Loan, 1862 (first and second
issues), that the Coupons due Ist March, and the
Bonds drawn for redemption, will be paid on any
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday, on and
after that date.

At the Union Bank of Australia yesterday, ten-
ders for £250,000 Queensland debentures were
opened. £150,000 were sold at the bank's minimum
price of £97 15s. per cent., and the remainder were
withdrawn.

The movements of the precious metals during the
past week have been on a limited scale. The im-
ports have amounted to about £215,130, chiefly
from New York and Australia, and the exports
have been £208,239, the greater portion of which
has been despatched to the East Indies and the
Continent.
