PARIS, 8170DlLY ETININO.
The Prase says, in its weekly commercial review :
The money market ham decidedly improved this week, end
there is reams to bops that the reduction of 1 per cent. In
the rate of intermit made by the Bank of Preece will, before
long, produce a fevourable effect upon trade. Our eornmerelel
classes have made heed against the difil,ulties of the mists
with sheirable perseverance, supporting enormous losses
with &maw, sod westing all their engagements. The measure
adopted by the bank on Thursday lest hes been received ea an
instalment towards a return to a normal situation, for 7,8, and 9
per omit. is still a rate of interest so high that the slight reduc-
tion made from the extreme point of the crisis will afford but
little relief. During the last fortnight but few bills with
mere than fifteen or twenty-five days to run were brought
to the Lank for discount. It wee only at the last extremity
that any bouae would oak the bank to discount a three
months' bill, biomes it war feared that the fact of their
being reedy to pay 10 per cent. would injure their credit with
the batik.* The consequence has been a general disposition
to do as little tominees as possible. The Pane manufacturers
following the example of those of the departments, have de-
cided either to turn off a certain number of hands or to reduce
wages. Msay factories are now working short tiros The
retail shops either do not buy, or pay ready money for Nikko
they want, on the condition of being allowed • very large
discount. The retail salon in the 'warmth's houses which
were very dull in October, have been still worse this month.
People de not, however, despair of an improvement in
December, pirtleolarly if circumstances should permit the

Beak of Pisace to reduce it., discount to 6i and 6 par
and. la the Faubourg St. Antoine, where business was
troy meths la Await sad September, there is now nothing
&tag. Ws may lay the same of the manufacture. of
"Paris articles," fa which many orders that were given have
boa rescinded. Soma of our manufacturers lave been

heavy loam by failures in England. The last packet
from New York brought remittances to several houses.
Boma Lyons firms, which had capital at com-
mand at the time of the crisis, took roesenne
from the first, which have resulted In large profits.
They bought up their own goods at New York at a
redaction of from 40 to 60 per ant., and are now only wait-
ing a favonsuble opportunity to dispose of them, while their
credit with A11M1601121 heroes remains intact. There in
nothing doing in cereals. Flour does not fall any lower,
but wheat Is offered in almost all the markets. This state
of things le, however, rather owing to the scarcity of money
than any superabundance of grain for sale. The wins trade
is active at Beret', without any change in prices. It is
doubted, however, whether the present quotations will be
long maintained.

• [This, remarkable example of the working of a high rate
of iatereet m France has been already noticed by our Paris
oorreepondent.]
