MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock—A second edition of the Daily News,
with important intelligence from Paris and Germany,
to last evening, and the lastpricesof the French rentes,
was in the City this morning at a quarter before
tie o'clock, more than two hours before any other
morning paper made its appearance with news of the
same import, and to the same point of time. This
was justly reckoned as an instance of very extraordi-
nary dispatch, and has given much satisfaction in
City circles, more especially on the Stock Exchange,
where such early information is highly appreciated
and of great service.
The failure, or suspension, of the great banking-
house of Eichthall and Co. of Paris, communicated
by this dispatch, has created much uneasiness here,
from the extensive relations and very high standing of
the house. It was the great Paris banking firm for
Germany, and has, it is said, corresponding branches
at Augsburg, Carlerhue, and Munich.
From Belgium we learn that the Bank of Antwerp
had resumed its discount business, so tar as for bills
at 45 days' date upon Belgium, but not beyond. It
was urged by the mercantile community that, to
afford any really useful degree of accommodation, the
limit should be extended to 90 days. Petitions were
signing at Antwerp, Ghent, and other principal
cities, strongly protesting against the loans (called
forced) now being raised by the government.
The veports from Paris published, as said, in a
second edition of the Daily News, rather depressed
Consols. They declined to 82 to 1, but have since
gradually recovered, and now are 83 to 1 for
time and money. Exchequer Bills, 28s. to 325. pre-
mium. Although not so actively as for the last few
days, we have still purabases of money stock going on.
