MONEY MARKET

A ND

,3u:IIMERCIAL INTELLIiitNCE,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The attractions of the great boat race have
greatly thinned the attendance on the Stock Ex-
change, and business is more than usually quiet in
consequence. The result of the division in the
louse of Commons has not had the slightest effect
upon prices.

The Discount Market remains essentially in the
same position as for some days past. A fair de-
mand is prevailing pending the dispersion of the
dividends, and rates for first-class continue at 1k to
2 per cent.

There is no change whatever iu Consols. They
arc quiet, at 92/ to 93,14- for money, and 93 to 93*
for account ; New and Reduced 3 per Cents., 91i
to 918 ; Exchequer Bills, 7s. to 12s. prem. ; India
5 per Cents., 1131 to 1114 ; and the Rupee Paper,
1031 to 1041.
The Foreign Stock Market is steady, but in the
absence of business there is no change in prices.
