COMMERCIAL * MARKET'S.

MONEY MARK ET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o' Clock. —We have a rather improving market
at present. Earlier this morning it was flagging and
depressed, with Consols at 861 to I. They are now
86; to for money and to-morrow. Reduced
Threes, 861 to 4 Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 87/ to 1. Exchequer Bills are not so
good, at 335. to 40s. premium. The tratsactiona have
reference chiefly to the general liquidation of time
business, which comes on to-morrow.
Danish Stock is quoted with a wider difference, at
65 to 7, and not readily to be diapoeed of. Dutch
I Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 43 to 4 ; the Fours,
69 to 71. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. come
' quoted from Amsterdam on the Bth, at 43 5-16 business
done. Itursian, 98 to 100. Belgian, 68 to 72. Spanish
hies, 11 to 1 ; the Threes, 211 to ; Passive, 21 to
Portuguese, 171 to 181. Mexican, 161 to 171.
Brazilian, 69 to 71. Chilian, 83 to 6. New Ore-
Inada, 14 to 121.
' The Antwerp merchants, according to accounts, are
loudly complaining of the great bank of the Societe
Generale, which was charging 5 per c. nt. discount
for the beet paper presented, when in the general
money market bills were being negotiated at from 3
to 31, per cent. The bank was charged
I moreover with being little disposed to grant
accommodation, even at the onerous 'rate re-
quired, and appeared desirous it should be coo-
-1 lettered as a favour. It is not, however, de-
nied that it would - be quite in its right
to manage its affairs as might seem best for its,
own interest, only that, as lairly objected, since it has
been privileged by the state to IMO some thirty
millions of francs of inconvertible paper, on the plea
of favouring commerce and industry, it should be bound
to fulfil the condition, and share some of the advan-
tages derived from its. privilege with the public.
The agricultural commission, to whom the ques-
t ion was. referred by the Belgian govern-
ment, having taken into consideration the
tariff principle by which the imports of tcrain
should be regulated, had decided to reject the sliding
scale system, and to recommend a fixed duty rate of
50 centimes per hectolitre.
